Best Tour in Vancouver!! - From start to finish this tour was hands down our favorite in Vancouver! Staff was well trained, extremely nice and made sure that everyone felt safe. The views from the boat were straight from a postcard I couldn’t believe it! We were a group of 8 where most did the snorkeling and some opted for only kayaking. We were able to get within meters of the seals. Some baby seals popped their heads right in front of us. And one seal swam under my daughter‘s kayak and started to play with her oar. She said it was the absolute best day of our life. The tour is about 30 Ish minutes from the city. Do it! Transportation is easy to get there and back with Uber.

Must-Do Excursion - We absolutely loved our seal excursion. We spent a week in Vancouver and Whistler, and although there were lots of amazing things to see and do, this was our family's favorite activity. It was so awesome to not just see the seals in their natural habitat but to become a part of that environment. The seals, esp. the curious babies, bumped us, grabbed the rope and pulled some people that were in kayaks, and played all around us. Emily and Emma were wonderful guides. One caution that we learned the hard way is that you must pay for parking everywhere. We parked in the lot in front of our excursion and did not see the pay sign (which we were later told is very hard to see). When we returned we had a $90+ CAD ticket on our car.

Our excellent guides (Erin and Emily) made sure we stayed warm with soup and hot chocolate, kept us all safe and well equipped, and took amazing videos of our seal encounters. A wonderful experience!

Book. It. Now! - Amazing! No matter the issue, the staff were so friendly and patient. We had a teen with no interest in getting in the cold water. I had a fin that kept slipping off. They were so kind and accommodating and treated every issue with such a personal touch. The hot soup and hot cocoa made such a huge difference! I cannot rave about excursion enough! The seals were so cute and entertaining! Whatever your qualms, ignore them! However great you think this be, multiple by 10! I would have booked this everyday the rest of our trip if possible! Do. Not. Miss.

Amazing views, lots of seals - We had a really fun time and the views were unbelievable but unfortunately we never got the photos taken by the crew even after messaging them on instagram and emailing so I'd recommend bringing a waterproof camera or a phone sleeve
