Friendly, understanding, accommodating - We had planned to go with our three small kids for seal watching and was excited for it. Dillion was very friendly, understanding and accommodating inspite of the issue we had from our side because of our kids. The manager was also very understanding. They put customers first. We really appreciate their focus on making sure we did not leave disappointed.

Highly Recommend - Wonderful experience - I was a last minute booker while traveling on a business trip to Vancouver. I found our guide to be absolutely AMAZING! His knowledge and love of Vancouver, Vancouver's nature and general conservation and restoration is what made this tour so amazing. It is cold. They give you suits, but it's cold. The boat is just like what's shown in the photo, so about 11 people are aboard. The fee for this this fantastic experience is extremely worth the cost. I would highly recommend.

Breathtaking adventure. - Our guide, Paul was simply outstanding. It was like having a a wizard who knew geography and history and had lived for the last Thousand Years share with you what transpired over the ages. Forget about tour buses forget about hiking forget about flying over Vancouver. What makes Vancouver magical is the waterways. So see and learn about Vancouver from the waterways. I recommend wearing a pair of gloves.

Water fun and watching the seals - It was an overcast afternoon. We had to put on the large red suits to keep warm and dry. Travelling with a friendly group we climbed into the Zodiac boat with Dillon. He was a great tour guide sharing so much about the area and water life! Highly recommend to all!
