Thrill in the Sea - A great day only made better by our Captin Danni, she was awesome.
There was not much hanging around once you were checked in and kitted up with a Safety suit you were off to your boat for a Safety brief before getting to a seat.
I went for the front end as you get more of a thrill . The tour its self took us to some great locations and Danni gave us a running commentary on what we were looking at.
I loved the whole tour and would recommend it .

A fun family adventure - Our guide Danie was fantastic, from getting us situated on the boat, to her in depth knowledge all along our tour. Her passion shows through. We saw the falls, harbor/cruise ship area, sea life, Deep Falls and so much more. A breathtaking adventure. A little cold in October, so dress warmly.

Fun, Fast, Controlled - Greg was our guide/captain. He was knowledgeable, friendly and a great captain. The boat was comfortable and the ride was fun, fast and controlled. Greg stopped at the scheduled locations, explaining and answering questions. He also stopped and pointed out bald eagles and seals. The three hours flew by and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a fun afternoon seeing the area.

A must do while in Vancouver! - Our tour guide Marco was excellent. I felt very safe with him. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does for a living. I enjoyed being out in nature, the scenery and waterfalls were breathtaking. I 100% recommend this tour while visiting Vancouver.

Exciting - Getting to float freely for a few minutes while we waited for the Cruise ship to pass, while hearing insane bullets of information about the ship and all the other activity happening in the harbour on a daily basis

Excellent Tour with Captain Jack - Excellent experience today with Captain Jack on the Granite Falls tour. Amazing scenery and wonderful sightings of sea life and wildlife. Very grateful to have worn the provided orange suits for warmth and protection from rain. Boat is smooth and fast. Glad I brought my sunglasses to shield eyes from wind, especially being a contact lens wearer. Captain Jack shared excellent information and is very knowledgeable and skilled. He made the day really fun and really special. We had a great time!

Great tour of the waterline around Vancouver! - What an absolutely wonderful tour. My 70-year old dad and I were on a zodiac with about a dozen people with Amy as our guide. It’s three hours of tour along the waterfront, across the bay, up a fjord, to a couple of absolutely beautiful natural attractions. We saw seals, jellies, birds, and learned about the communities in the forested areas around Vancouver. Additionally, Amy shared some knowledge about the First Nations folks and their history in the area. It got a bit wet and chilly, but the weather suits they put you in work very well. I’d recommend a hat and sunglasses.

Close to perfect - Close to perfect, 3 things that make it perfect would be a sound system in the boat for the guide to talk to the guests. For a three hour tour, food and drinks should be provided, and finally, either more places of interest or more sensational final points of interest.

Cold and uncomfortable - Not a wet weather activity probably should have been cancelled. While the driver was informative couldn’t wait for it to be over, as the rain hitting our faces at high speed was painful.
