So much fun! Captain James was knowledgeable and fun and we met nice friends from California Great time
Excellent boat ride with tons of history of the arm. It was cold and windy, so bring extra warm clothes.
It was wonderful and so much fun! I went with my husband and 8 year old daughter. Our tour guide was James and he was great. Very informative and was great at spotting bald eagles and other wildlife. We went out early in the morning so the water was still pretty calm which was very nice. We did not opt for the warming suits and just had sweatshirts and vests and we were warm enough for the most part. We got a little chilly on the longer stretches of going fast but as soon as the boat slowed, we were fine. We would definitely recommend this trip!
We had a great time our guide was amazing!! highly recommend
Need to be mobile. Bridge moves while walking. Breath-taking views! Good for the whole family! Worth the trip!
- nice to see the city , harbour , working port and Indian Arm / more wilderness part of the trip - not many cities or tours you can see all this in 3 hours on a fun fast and safe boat - staff and boat guides are great / well informed - even for locals - our 2nd time
Captain Alec was so knowledgeable so entertaining..And had great eye for wildlife. We saw 24 harbor seals and a bald eagle! Alec shared so many details of their habitat… I learned so much. The day was a clear blue sky gem. Thank you for a fantastic 3 hour tour of False Creek, English Bay, and the Indian Arm, Granite Falls and Sliver Falls!
Had a great time! The views were spectacular! Saw some wildlife, and the falls were gorgeous! Marco was a great guide! Would definitely recommend this tour.
Go when it’s not raining. The rain was hard on the face and it was hard to notice the scenery When your head is bowed down
The 3 hour tour with Marco was interesting, informative and full of adventures. There were lots of beautiful vistas, various ships, seals, eagles and a deer! Highly recommended as a good orientation to the greater Vancouver area.
