- Justin W2 contributionsThis was an amazing trip! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

- Carol FVancouver, Canada25 contributionsWe did this escape room on my son’s 16th birthday along with his best friend. It was a great multi-generational activity as we appreciated the teens’ superior eyesight but could offer our ideas and insights too! For most of our party, this was their first Escape room so we chose one rated 3/5 in difficulty. We loved the variety of puzzles and definitely needed to get creative with our solutions. We found different puzzles played to different strengths in our team. The staff at E-Exit were very nice and quick to respond when we had questions or requested hints. Our tips are to remember your reading glasses if you are over 50! The lighting is dim and some of the clues/codes are small! Also, you get three hints without penalty. Be strategic and watch the clock… we used two hints at the right times and made our escape successfully. Good luck!Written October 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Go042213122242 contributionsThree of us did the sea-doo private two hour tour with Justin and Anya. It was brilliant & they made it so fun. Lots of adrenaline & waves, a dip in Howe Sound & great info about the area & wildlife too. Highly recommend and will definitely go again!

- BDHughesPerth, Australia48 contributionsWe took the 7 day Western Canada Iconic Sites tour which was wonderful. Ryan (guide) and Mitch (driver) were excellent. They took us comfortably to awesome, iconic places and nothing was too much trouble. Ryan’s commentary and local knowledge about everything was interesting, helpful and light hearted for all ages. Ryan was particularly attentive and responsive to individual needs.
The small group size was ideal and easy to manage. The hotels were outstanding for location and quality. The included excursions were amazing.
Special thanks to Discover Canada office for rearranging this itinerary due to the Jasper fires damage. We felt that we didn’t miss anything despite the different route.
We were going to drive this area and arrange accommodation ourselves, but we are so glad we didn’t. We wouldn’t have done half the things or visited half the places if we’d toured on our own. And it was so much easier not having to think about anything.
We would definitely recommend a) a longer tour if you have the time, and b) Discover Canada tours.
One thing to improve is the bus which has very uncomfortable seats at the back for a long trip. And some of the excursions needed better information.Written September 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Booking was simple and confirmed by email with clear instructions where to check in and timings.
We arrived in plenty of time at the office where we were met by friendly and informative staff and given good instructions about meeting and refreshments.
The skipper and wildlife guide were fun and informative, giving a concise safety briefing before departure. A smooth ride on a comfortable boat got us out to see Orcas, seals and other wildlife over a trip lasting just over 4 hours.
All round this was a great experience, a first for us, whale watching from Vancouver, well done.Written October 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We unexpectedly saw a grey whale which was such a bonus on a day that was already a 5-star experience. Would highly recommend to anybody who is looking to see the city and area from an experienced operator.Written August 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jack W8 contributionsWe had a great time on our Elaho Exhilarator trip at the start of September. Some of our group were a little apprehensive beforehand, however the staff provided us with thorough instruction plus entertainment on the bus journey, which put us at ease. The trip itself was exciting and varied and our guide Rylan pointed out good views and where to spot the wildlife. We'd love to come back if ever in the area again!Written October 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ken M2 contributionsWhat a fun mystery to solve. We loved the 'haunted house' feel of Circus Ringmaster Ben Chase's family home. Very clever clues. The staff were very helpful and personable. We needed a few clues but finally solved it. Highly recommend.Written August 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Matthew and JessicaVancouver, Canada15 contributionsWhat a fantastic experience !!!
My awesome fiancé booked an adventure for me and my best man today and what an amazing time we had. The cars were in perfect condition (and sanitized for the covid) , Thom and the team were friendly and informative making sure we were ready to get behind the wheel for a rip up the most beautiful stretch of highway in Canada.
I was worried thinking it would be a short low speed follow the leader type day but I was sooo wrong. Obviously always staying safe and obeying the traffic laws but given the space and opportunity to really feel the power and handling these amazing machines have to offer.
We took the Ferrari and the Porsche, both awesome... I would absolutely recommend this adventure for visitors from out of town or locals looking for an adrenaline rush!! I know I will be back for more.
Thanks for the great day Thom !!Written July 19, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Elisha G4 contributionsAhoy!
