Vancouver Half-Day Whale Watching Adventure with Free Photos

2015Ramseys, Sep 2026

Whales , Orcas put on a great show

What an experience. Always a worry that there may be a no show, but we saw many Humpback Whales, Orcas, Harbour seals and Sea lions. We enjoyed a great view from the boat. The Naturalist and commentary was very informative, full of interesting information to back up what we were seeing, even identifying the whales from the data bases. I would highly recommend this trip and the managing company.

Granite Falls Zodiac Tour by Vancouver Water Adventures

markgM7625IR, Sep 2026

Thanks Marco for a brilliant experience

Had a brilliant experience on the Granite Falls Zodiac tour today, despite the gloomy overcast conditions. From the moment we met our guide and driver Marco we knew it was going to be wonderful. He was full of energy, full of energy, engaged us as individuals from the start and we soon found out he was knowledgeable about the area we would be exploring. He also knew when it was the right time for speed ups and donuts and when to slow down for photo ops.He stopped many times and gave us a great depth of information about the key points we visited and was always looking out for bonus wildlife sightings to visit as well. He gave us plenty of time for photo and video ops while also checking in on our well being.Despite the weather the scenery was awesome. Waterfalls magnificent, local residential areas amazing, the fjord jaw dropping.Absolutely recommend.

We had a fun time with Sean, visiting a variety of restaurants! The food was delicious, there was plenty to eat and drink while we learned a little about Vancouver too! We had a big group from Australia, Canada and the US and everyone interacted to share our travels and adventures. Not too much walking overall. So fun, I highly recommend it!

A great place to store...

A great place to store your luggage for the day if you have a late flight post cruise. The Hop on Hop off bus was also great. Clearer signage for stops with numbers would be helpful though,

Explore Stanley Park on Electric Scooters

Karen_S, Sep 2026

Great way to see Stanley Park

My husband and I were a bit apprehensive about doing this tour on electric scooters as we’re 60 and 57 and never been on them before! However, our guide Oge was very helpful and friendly and we absolutely loved it. Oge kindly brought drinks for us which was lovely. He took us to lots of places we might never have seen on our own and was happy to take photos for everyone. It’s definitely given us the confidence to do similar tours in other cities.

FLG8TOR, Sep 2026

Worldly Traveler

Very convenient to the cruise port and within walking distance to the train station. If you have time to kill before checking into your hotel or to the airport, I recommend storing your luggage in this secured location and take advantage of the Hop On/Hop Off trolly and see the town.
