Waterfalls and nature tour

The afternoon trip was great. Saw wildlife, salmon jumping and waterfalls. The area was beautiful and so close to the city, but feels you are in the middle of nowhere. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous day with Captain Sasha

What a fun time we had today! The weather was perfect, we saw seals and bald eagles as well as two water falls. Our captain Sasha was so friendly and informative! We got air time jump those waves! Laughter, beauty and speed. You can’t go wrong with this three hour tour! The area around where you start and finish Granville offers so much too!

Seeing Vancouver and surrounding area by zodiac boat

We had a fantastic time! Our guide, Thomas, was very knowledgeable about the local area and scenery. He pointed out numerous wildlife along the way. His captain skills were impeccable. We sincerely appreciate the photos he shared of our adventure.

A beautiful day with a little bit of everything!

This was an unexpected adventure, full of fun, great bite-sized local info, city, harbour, nature, and soooooooooo many incredibly beautiful sights of Vancouver life. Connor, our guide, was warm right from the first moment and was so kind with my kids. He really went the extra mile to engage them and show them the things they asked him about. I could not be happier for the speed, beauty, variety, insight, and bonding time this tour offered. Thank you! We will be back and we’ll send everyone we know! More than worth the price!

the Right choice

Recommended by friends. Brilliant Captain. Friends who had included an Alaskan cruise, before Vancouver, enjoyed this tour more. Prince of Whales zodiac waterfall tour, covered the Fjords surrounding the city. Jake traveled smoothly and quickly when needed. Jake explained Vancouver and its surrounding area to us. I did not understand the city until I spent the day on the water with Jake. Because of its excellence I tried to share some what what is enjoyable about this tour. I have taken this type of tour in places such as Sydney. As you can tell this is the first review online that I have written.
