A great experience! Lots of fun, and you learn a lot about Vancouver city and the harbour. - We had a great time. Captain Jake was friendly and very knowledgeable. The ride on the IRB was lots of fun. We saw all of Vancouver harbour from a different perspective. We saw some normally shy wildlife as well - seals and porpoises. Very much worth the effort and fee. I'd do it again!

A great and fun day.😀 - This was our first time in Vancouver and saw this tour and thought it looked like fun, plus seeing some sites. Captain Elias was not only fun but gave us so much information around the areas. We saw several seals on our journey…recommend to wear the suits…😀

What a fun way to see more of Vancouver! - It's almost always a good idea to take a boat tour of a new place, and this was no exception. The water was a bit rough at first, and the thick suits were appreciated (both for warmth and for protection from the spray), but it calmed once we were in a more sheltered area. Captain Elias was friendly and informative about the city and its history, and I especially appreciated the recommendations he made for other things to do in the city. I highly recommend an excursion with Sea Vancouver!

Captain Elias is ace; he really knows his stuff! A thrilling ride and a fascinating tour of Vancouver from the sea. - We had a fantastic trip around the bay and harbour of Vancouver. Captain Elias made the trip so much fun and he knows a lot of stuff about the area, his home city! On top of the thrill of the boat ride and the really fascinating commentary, we caught sight of a harbour porpoise surfacing right alongside us. An awesome trip, highly recommended.

Great Trip - Capt. Jake did a great job piloting the craft and providing narration. We got a different perspective of the city when compared to a bus tour.
