Simon, Crystal and Milk was very excellent guides. They were very informative and kept the group interactive. They made sure everyone was safe and had enough time for everyone to enjoy the experience on being out in the water. At no point did I felt rushed or unorganized. Highly recommend

The tour was awesome! I haven’t had this much fun in a really long time. It was a good mix of being out on the water in a boat and just enjoying the wind in my hair and having Paul, our tour guide and captain of the boat, explain a bit about Vancouver history. Would highly recommend to locals and tourists alike!

Was a great trip, just the right amount of time. We went to the tour late afternoon when the tide was higher, I recommend choosing an earlier timeslot so you have a better chance to see the seals on the rocks rather than just their heads popping out of the water. Our guide Greg was awesome, very knowledgeable and funny.
