Fantastic experience! - The trip was amazing! Thomas was so knowledgeable and kept us entertained with so much information relating to areas we visited. His skills as captain were also excellent and he made sure our ride was exciting but that everyone onboard was comfortable and happy. Thomas certainly made the trip the best experience we could have wished for.

MEMORABLE - Capitan Jake was an excellent tour guide. He is a book of Vancouver knowledge and had very interesting personal stories as well. Our zodiac ride was very smooth, thanks to Capitan Jake.
The tour was everything we hoped it would be and more. A 40th Wedding Anniversary we won't forget. Thanks for the photos Jake much appreciated!!

A unique and fun experience - With Jake as our captain, we had a great time. We loved seeing Vancouver from the water. Jake also made it fun by moving fast over the water and getting up close to several oil tankers in the bay. It was a super experience. We recommend it highly!
