Zooming along with Thomas - From the moment we checked in until our guide Thomas said good bye I had a great time. The office staff were welcoming and friendly. Once out on the boat Thomas was fun, engaging and knowledgeable. He allowed for great photo moments and even took a few of us. I also appreciated that he also clearly cares about his home and the water. When seeing candy wrappers floating in the water he didn’t miss a beat when he picked it out of the water.

A great time was had by our team of 3! - This was one of the best excursions that I have done. Thomas was an amazing guide. He was so informative about the entire history of Vancouver. Just riding on the Zodiac was a thrill; fast and thrilling. Thanks Thomas for your humour and professionalism.

Beyond Expectations…thanks to Jake! - The views were amazing and the boat was a blast! Jake, our captain, was phenomenal! He was extremely knowledgeable, very courteous and concerned about our comfort. Jake went above and beyond taking pictures that he sent to everyone after the excursion. AND he extended the trip just a bit because the day was so beautiful and he wanted us to experience it all. Fabulous trip and would recommend this to everyone visiting Vancouver! Thanks Jake!
