If you're thinking about it.... do it! - What an absolute joy! Due to a scheduling situation, my kayak trip was expanded and was the 4 hour snorkel and kayak with the seals! Bobbing around with the seals will be something I think about frequently! It was such an incredible experience and highly recommend Sea Dragons for your adventure! The location was easy to get to from downtown Vancouver (1 bus ride) and everything was so easy to find and do! All of the gear you need (minus bathing suit and towel) were provided. Each of the activities was pretty accessible even to those who don't snorkel or kayak often and could be adjusted to your comfort zone. Even just staying on the boat would've been a great experience!

We would do it again in a heartbeat! - This was hands down our family's favorite experience of our whole vacation. Sea Dragon Charters was awesome! Great service, fun insights, nice equipment and an amazing few hours. Of course the seals were darling and unforgettable!

Worth it! - Very good experience! We had a super relaxed time on the water and had the chance to see several seals very close up. We were a group of 7 and it was perfect that way. My children (12 and 10 years old) also enjoyed it very much. I recommend!

Amazing kayak experience with the seals - We had a fantastic time kayaking with the sea dragon charters. Sam was a great guide and Kevin was the captain of our boat tour. It was a wonderful experience. We saw a colony of seals in the wild for the first time!! It was amazing to kayak so close to the seals! Thank you for the tour and the care you showed to us and to the environment!

Amazing kayak and SUP tour - Amazing staff. Kevin and Brian were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We saw a ton of seals, pups, and a few eagles. I would highly recommend this trip. Even during these crazy times I felt safe with a small tour group.
