Great scenic boat tide! Best tour yet!! - We took the 3 hr Granite Falls boat tour with Ray and had a great time!
Ray was a great Captain & was fun & informative. This was the best excursion of all three excursions we took in Vancouver. If you love fresh air, being on the water, great scenery & a great Captain/Guide, sign up for this boat tour with Ray.

Took my Dad who is 96 - I took my 96 year old Dad on the Seal Tour and the staff were so helpful and kind. They helped him in and out of the suit down the ramp into the boat, really they went above and beyone. It was wonderful to meet so lovely young people.

Vancouver City and Seals Boat Tour - We attended as a school group and it was an excellent experience. Simon was an outstanding guide and his passion for the surroundings and knowledge of the history of places shone through. Vancouver Water Adventures insured that we were safe and that it was a thrill in a way that kids with anxiety could still enjoy. Thank you.

Amazing trip - Captains Grayden and Jett did an amazing job on this tour. They were so fun to be with and did a great job of putting people at ease before we started and then giving us an overall amazing experience. They gave us some fun facts and stories that we had never heard about some of the attractions that we stopped to see. The actual ride was a blast, they gave us several chances to see seals and wildlife, we got to see two bald eagles and learn more about them, and they gave us multiple views of the gorgeous sunset. Overall, it was an incredible experience and worth every penny!

Fun, energetic trip - A bit chaotic to get waivers signed and suited up, however once on board, we had an excellent time, the skipper and Marco were fun, energetic and well versed in their story telling. We had fantastic weather, saw eagles, seals and porpoises. I traveled with my daughter who absolutely loved the sea breeze and air in her hair. Loved those Donuts.

A wonderful, fun trip with views you can't get from shore! - We had only one day in Vancouver after our cruise and we are glad we chose this to do! Vancouver Water Adventures is a wonderful company, putting safety first. Danny, our boat captain/driver was very fun. Her comments about the history and the sites were great, and we thoroughly enjoyed having her as our guide.
This tour affords views of Vancouver and many of its neighborhoods that you simply can't get on the land. We were fortunate enough to see some seals and a couple of bald eagles.
And the ride itself was a blast, sometimes running at full speed, doing donuts in the bay. All around a spectacular tour.
