Book this first! So much fun!!!

This was fantastic! Book it! You will enjoy it so much!Marco was very personable and fun. He did an amazing job and was very informative. His music was awesome too. You’ll see things you can’t view from land or sky. This is one of the BEST things we did while in Vancouver and we will book again if we ever come back.Bowen Island was quaint and a fun place to stop. It was a great way to visit without having to take the ferry.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Paul. He is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. While efficiently driving us through the city, Stanley Park and Grouse Mountain, he shared interesting facts about the area’s history, culture and current issues. He maximized our experience by knowing the best times and viewing areas, reducing time spent in lines. Having been on many such tours, we confidently rate his as excellent. Highly recommended.

Private Sauna Boat Experience in Vancouver

Lauren_B, Sep 2026

Best Experience

This was by far one of my most favorite experiences of all time! The sauna was huge and had plenty room of room, and the ship was just perfect with all the amenities! We had a fantastic time sitting on the top deck and the views were breathtaking! How cool to be able to get hot in a sauna and then cold plunge into the ocean! Can’t wait to do their longer Granite Falls tour next time. I’d highly recommend this experience! You’ll absolutely love it.

Intimate West Coast Whale Watching – Partly-Sheltered

andyandduncy, Sep 2026

Great whale watching experience!

We loved every minute of this tour! We were VERY LUCKY that humpback whales surfaced very close to the boat! If there was anything I could be critical about, it is the windows - they did inform us about the safety for them, but surely it is about time to ensure they don’t slam closed unexpectedly. I don’t think it would cost too much, and it would be better not to have accidents with fingers etc. Other than that, the guide was wonderful and made sure everyone was included and informed about everything we were seeing though out. Even the captains did a safety talk at the start as well. Well worth the money!

A Perfect Introduction to Vancouver’s Food and Drink

What a great experience. Brian is an engaging and informative guide, with lots of stories, information and chat. We enjoyed spending time with him and the culinary treats. Cookies to die for, smash burgers and spicy fries, a cheeky orange natural wine (a first for me) and an indulgent ice cream to finish it off…. We will not be eating again for a while. Would not hesitate to recommend this walking/boat bus trip. Thank you Brian for your professionalism and charm. Grace and Nick

Intimate West Coast Whale Watching – Partly-Sheltered

isaaccY8390MD, Sep 2026

Whale of a time

the night before one of their vessels had a bit of a problem so they let me know and managed to reschedule me in for another tour an hour after. I was a bit underdressed so they gave me a jacket. And on the trip itself we managed to see an orca pod and a breaching humpback so honestly it was perfect

An absolutely incredible city

We loved Vancouver from the very first moment. The combination of mountains, water, nature, and a modern city creates a truly special atmosphere. There are beautiful views practically everywhere and so much to discover.We also really enjoyed the food, the different neighborhoods, and the relaxed atmosphere of the city. Vancouver definitely became one of our favorite destinations and we hope to return soon. 🇨🇦

Butchart Gardens and Victoria Tour from Vancouver

Jody_G, Aug 2026

Best Victoria Trip

If you're lucky enough to go on this trip with Byron, you will have the most wonderful time! From start to finish we had so much fun. Going to Butchart Gardens in the afternoon, vs first thing in the day, was so smart because we saw all the beauty and none of the crowds.
