Personable and special - Ability to get so close to the seals was special! We didn’t feel rushed during the experience by the staff yet it felt efficient. Being able to jump off the boat at the end was a nice touch!

Very cool experience! - We had a great time! We got to snorkel and kayak with the seals & it was everything we hoped for. Because of the weather it was pretty cold, but the warm drinks on the boat made up for it :)

Snorkel and Paddle Board With Seals! (And I didn’t freeze!) - For everyone out there who hates the cold like me, let me tell you, this adventure was great and I did not freeze! I was joking when I checked it that I am someone who gets cold at lunch eating outside on a 70 degree F day, let alone snorkeling in the ocean. Our guide, Sam, noted we would be in 5mm wetsuits with wetsuit gloves, boots/socks, and the option to take a hood after I told her I thought I was going to freeze. This was all foreign speak to me at the time, but like I said, I did not freeze! On the way out, the boat came across a humpback whale, so the captain killed the engine and let us watch the whale for about 5-10 minutes due to passenger interest. Once out at the first snorkel location, we slid into the water. Our guide Sam said you would feel cold for about a minute and then you would feel fine after that, which was true. It’s cold as the water comes into the wetsuit (as it’s supposed to), but then it heats up and all is good. We swam with Sam a bit over to a nearby rocky area with seals. We snorkeled in the area for about 30 minutes or so seeing other creatures too including mussels, crabs, and starfish. After the first snorkel area, we headed back into the boat. All passengers were offered a cup of hot chicken noodle soup while the captain drove us to the next location. I mentioned I was gluten free and could not eat noodles, so I instead was offered a cup of hot chocolate, which I happily took. At the second area, passengers had the option to snorkel again, kayak, or stand-up paddle board. My boyfriend chose to snorkel again, while I chose to stand-up paddle board. On my adventure, I stayed warm in the wetsuit (despite not being in the water and being in the shade) and was able to paddle with the other paddle boarders and kayakers along the shore. We saw several different areas of seals in and out of the water, starfish, seagulls, and a deer! I was able to get relatively close to the seals on the paddle board. If anyone got too close and they felt threatened though, they would all start jumping in the water and swim away, so it’s a delicate balance of watching them while giving them enough space to feel comfortable. On my boyfriend’s second snorkel adventure, he noted it was colder snorkeling in the shade (first time was in the sun) and by the end he said he was starting to get cold in the wetsuit. At the second area, he was in the water, in the shade, swimming much less than in the first area, but he was able to watch seals on the bottom underneath him and other sea creatures in the water. Plus he was able to watch the seals on the shore. Some of the seals in the water were very curious and would swim with 10 or so feet of him! After the second stop, we all boarded the boat again and were told if we wanted to jump off the upper deck, we were more than welcome to (a standing tradition started by a child a few years ago who asked to jump). We had a small group and everyone decided to jump! (Though some of us, including myself, needed a bit of extra coaching/cheering to get up the nerve!) After that, we all climbed back on board and were given a cup of hot chocolate during the ride back. Our guide, Sam, and our boat captain were both great and we had a great time! Plus I bought one of the underwater phone cases they sold at the check-in desk so I even have some cool pictures from in and under the water to share with friends/family. This is a great company and a great trip. I would definitely recommend it!

Amazing Exprience - We were a group of five friends and we loved the snorkling and kayak exprience. The staff were super friendly and nice. The soup and snacks on the boat were good. You can also bring your snacks and personal item on the boat. I would love to try this again when I come back to Vancouver.

Live it up! - This is a must try and a definite repeat. Great captain and crew. It was also ver safe in water and the boat was accommodating.

Fantastic afternoon! - This experience was truly fantastic. Not only did we see, and swim near, seals but an orca pod made an appearance in the bay. The equipment provided was excellent, and the guides were friendly.

Great way to spend a day - Awesome experience. Great value for what you get! Got to try snorkeling and kayaking. Saw tons of seals. Had warm soup and hot chocolate, and took great pics.

Great fun - Great fun, well organised and a lovely day. Saw lots of seals and their space was respected. Well worth going on.

Worth the time and money! - Well organized, a nice variety of activities, good balance of challenge, fun and safety, pleasant snacks, good guides- definitely worth it

Best tour in Vancouver - Amazing!!! Best part of our trip to Vancouver. Everyone was very friendly. Seals were plentiful and cute.
