Traveler reviews
My first rubber boat ride experience
One of a kind experience. My first rime to ride a rubber boat. So nice with a very accommodating and considerate tour guide. Very recommendable sightseeing boat tour.
Amazing experience!!
Amazing experience! I booked a last-minute spot on my own and I’m so glad I did. It was fast and exciting, our skipper Thomas was very good, very knowledgeable and just wonderful all around! He was serious about safety but also personable and engaging. Just fantastic!!
Amazing
We just finished a tour with Jonah. We had so much fun. We were amazed that he could spot things like bald eagles in the trees. 100% recommend. As for the whole staff, my son commented and said “everyone is so smiley and look so happy there. It’s like they actually enjoy their jobs.”
Fast and Fun Wildlife Tour
Be prepared to get a little wet (you are on a zodiac, after all) and be ready for a fun and fascinating tour! Our guide & captain, Jonah, was excellent; and the wildlife sightings were fabulous. We saw bald eagles, harbour seals — and, most unexpectedly, ORCAS! Highly recommended!
Great Adventure for Locals too!
Our family is local to BC and had such a great time exploring our own backyard! Our Captain Jake was so knowledgeable about the geography and geology around us! You could also tell he was an expert captain of the vessel itself. We unexpectedly saw two Humpback whales and he organized us so that we had a safe and better view when they resurfaced! So great. Highly recommend 😁
