I want to do this again! - This tour was so much fun! The tour guide was very knowledgeable, but I love that he also gave us a few zooms up close around the tankers out on the water and did a few donuts on the water (wide circles...nothing that would make you sea sick). We saw so many seals! I wasn't ready for the tour to end and very much want to do it again! The views are amazing, the animals are adorable, and the ride was a blast!

Scenic, informative, and FUN boat tour! - What an incredible boat tour with our guide Paul. It really was a highlight of our visit to Vancouver! We enjoyed seeing the city from the water and learning more about the history and fun facts of Vancouver. The boat ride was also just SO fun and much faster than I expected! We appreciated the warm jumpsuits they gave us, as well as the comfortable seats with shock absorption. It was a 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vancouver.

The length of the tour was perfect—not too long, but enough time to take in the stunning views and enjoy some fun on the water. The donuts in the water were such a fun highlight, giving the boat a chance to spin and pick up speed! The boat was also the perfect size for a more intimate experience, allowing everyone to get the best views without feeling crowded. The whole trip was exciting, informative, and so much fun. Highly recommend this tour!

Fun and informative - Captain Ray is very knowledgeable and was able to not only show us some amazing scenery, seals etc but also explain the history and background of what we were looking at. He also made it fun with the great tunes and doing some donuts and hitting the water at speed.
