Love it!! The seals were great to see. Would love to do the cave tours next trip to Vancouver. Or just a longer boat ride.

We had only one day in Vancouver after our cruise and we are glad we chose this to do! Vancouver Water Adventures is a wonderful company, putting safety first. Danny, our boat captain/driver was very fun. Her comments about the history and the sites were great, and we thoroughly enjoyed having her as our guide. This tour affords views of Vancouver and many of its neighborhoods that you simply can't get on the land. We were fortunate enough to see some seals and a couple of bald eagles. And the ride itself was a blast, sometimes running at full speed, doing donuts in the bay. All around a spectacular tour.

Danie was an amazing tour guide! The best of the best. As a group we were able to tell her excitement and enthusiasm for her job as she gave us a tour.

An excellent tour — perfect combination of history, humor and natural history. Captain/tour guide Paul was delightful with a perfect combination of professionalism, aka, boat handling, and local and environmental history.

This tour was awesome. I always try to find a smaller family company and this one did not disappoint. Our guide Greg was so knowledgeable and made our time memorable. Highly recommend this trip!

We had a really enjoyable morning on the city and seals tour with Vancouver Water Adventures despite the rain! We saw a couple of seals, some dolphins and an eagle. Our guide was very knowledgeable and safety conscious. The life jacket all in one suits we were given to put on were excellent as they also kept us warm and dry. Hats, gloves and glasses were also provided if required. I would definitely recommend this trip for a fun morning out.

One of the coolest experiences, even as a solo traveler! I highly recommend this tour with the seals but also any of the other tours offered by Vancouver Water Adventures!

This activity is the one you don’t want to miss when coming in Vancouver for a short trip. We only stayed there for a weekend and this tour gave us the chance to see so many things at once. We took so many pictures of scenic views and we got to see the seals, but also a few bald eagles. Finally, Dani, our guide, was absolutely amazing. She told us all about the different places and their history and was sure to bring us to best spots around the bay. 10/10 experience even out of the regular season, it’s totally worth the trip!

Where to start - the day was looking like it was going to be very wet before we met up in the shop. Paul, our captain and guide for the trip, gave us all the option of a life jacket or the full suits. All chose the suits and I am glad I did as the boat (rigid hull dinghy) had two powerful outboard motors which meant it was fast and the wind felt a lot cooler at speed! The suits kept everyone dry and warm. Paul gave an initial briefing of what to expect but also gave a knowledgeable talk around the ocean and ecosystem of the area. I learnt a lot in a very short space especially kelp beds and how much C02 they process (more than the rain forests!) Earlier in the day there were humpback whales in the area which heightened everyone's excitement, unfortunately we did not spot any. On the trundle out of the harbour Paul gave lots of interesting facts and cruising along to West Vancouver coast pointed out Will Smith's and also Robert De Niros houses. There was also some history thrown in regarding the Spanish and English deciding who would take what land. WE then went out past the lighthouse to an island (Seal Island?) where the seals were sitting on a relatively small rock, very nice to see them in their natural habitat along with thousands of sea skimming birds who took off as we approached. I believe that the fissure / gulley we entered is one of the most southern fjords in the Northern Hemisphere. On the way back we pulled up next to one of the many massive tankers awaiting their turn to enter port. Definitely worth the trip and if you get Paul, you are in for an informative treat.

Had such an amazing time, and such a great captain! I was worried that because it was overcast that we wouldn’t be able to see as much but it was still stunning!! I’m so glad I went and I learned so much as it was my first visit to Vancouver!

This was a fun trip that looks at Vancouver, Stanley Park and the seal colony etc. from the water. Lots of useful facts and information from Danni who captained the boat. A recommended trip

The entire operation is run very well, from the sign in to the instructions about safety and the boat that you would be travelling in. Our tour guide Simon was very knowledgeable about about ever aspect of the tour, friendly and funny. He even helped me out of the boat. Even people who have travelled toVancouver before should definitely take this tour for a totally different perspective of this beautiful city. We loved every minute of it. Well done!!❤️
