Incredible experience! - Victor, Vincent and Olivia were incredible! My 17 year old daughter and I had so much fun snorkeling and kayaking with the seals. I’m so glad we found this experience, it has been the highlight of our trip so far! We will be joining again on our next trip to Vancouver!

Wonderful experience! - We had such an amazing time on our snorkeling trip with Victor and Vincent!! Two of our group snorkeled with the seals and had so much fun watching them swim right around us, and we also got to see some cool sea creatures like sea stars courtesy of Vincent. The other two members of our group didn’t snorkel but still had a great time on the boat enjoying the nice weather and spotting a bald eagle. Victor was so nice and provided everything needed for a great day, including snacks and hot drinks. This is a first-class operation and a great activity to do while in Vancouver, you are guaranteed to have a great time!

A Must Do While in Vancouver - What a great experience with an extremely knowledgeable captain and crew! The environment was very laid back, with an option for everyone: snorkeling, kayaking, observing wildlife, and/or learning about the area.
