Fantastic small-boat tour! Great eagle & seal sightings with an awesome guide (Mark)

I did this tour today and it was the absolute perfect way to see Vancouver from the water during my quick trip! The tour offers lots of flexible departure times and uses a small boat, which makes the whole experience feel very intimate.Our guide, Mark, was great. He provided so much information about what we were looking at and eagerly pointed out local wildlife. He pointed out seals and a bald eagle that we definitely would have missed without his sharp eyes! Mark answered all of our questions and even looked things up on the spot if he didn't know the answer right away. It was amazing learning about all the different bodies of water we passed through. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the city and nature together!
