Enjoyable Experience with Captain Jake - We took the City & Nature Tour on a raining day, but we didn't mind. We still had a great experience with Captain Jake as he was very informative and knowledgeable about the city and animal life in the surrounding area. He showed great passion about nature. And we got to see 4 bald eagles on our trip.

Thomas and Dawson were awesome! - We've been on an orca whale watching tour before from Victoria Island years ago and absolutely loved it, so when we came for a visit in Vancouver and saw they have tours here as well we bought tickets right away. We took the city and wildlife tour with Thomas and Dawson and they were super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Thomas would even stop every now and then to check-in that everyone is doing alright and if we needed anything or had questions. I would highly recommend we absolutely loved it.

Amazing short tour too get to know Vancouvers coastline and costal wildlife!! - We had such a fantastic experience on a very sunny tour taking us all around the coast to Point Atkinson, Howe Sound, and more! We got to see some harbour seals and 4 bald eagles, as well as some other cool assorted birds. Captain Sebastian was very knowledgeable and entertaining, talking us through the history of the places we visited and providing lots of fun facts for all the wildlife we saw (especially the birds)! Co-captain Jonah was also fantastic, helping to control the boat and spot wildlife. The ride was as smooth as it could be on a zodiac and was an excellent use of an hour and half. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Thanks Sebastian and Jonah! - What a great trip! This adventure goes from False Creek up to the entrance of Howe Sound to see the gorgeous mountains. And it did deliver on the “nature” part too - we saw bald eagles, seals and plenty of marine bird species. Our guide and Captain, Sebastian, was super informative and his driving with co-Captain Jonah was smooth. A great day out on the water to get new perspectives on Vancouver, and learning some facts about the wildlife too.
