We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The time in the zodiac was both exhilarating and informative. The vistas are stunning, and we saw plenty of wildlife. Dinner on the island was delicious. The 4 hours flew by!

This is a great experience, not to be missed in Vancouver. Exhilarating ride on the zodiac, so it’s not appropriate for everyone, especially those with mobility issues, as it’s a very bumpy ride and difficult to get in and out of the raft. For us, the bumper the better!! Got to see some landmarks along the way and see Vancouver from the water at dusk! Our guide, TEAGAN, was super friendly, very knowledgeable and full of information! The restaurant we eat at on Bowman Island was delicious. I appreciated the selection of restaurant.

Our tour guide Dylan was great! Very knowledgeable about the area. He was super safe but ensured we had a lot of fun! The teens/young adults loved the fast paced boat ride. The scenery was amazing. We spent time seeing seals and then headed to Bowen Island for dinner at Tuscany. The food was great! (The only thing I would have hoped to change about this tour was that I would have loved to sit outside as it was a beautiful night.) Highly recommend!

We had a great time on our journey throughout the waters of Vancouver. Zach did an awesome job as out tour director. The dinner on Bowen Island was very good at a very quaint little restaurant.

What a fun tour! First, our guide (Cassidy? Cassandra?) was terrific. You could tell she loved the boats, being on the water, and helping make our experience the best it could be. Second, the whole tour was fun, fun, fun. Loved seeing Vancouver from the water and the meal on Bowen Island was delicious. Would definitely recommend doing this.

Wonderful ride with Zach. Got the chance to learn about Vancouver and the surrounding area, ride on a boat and get up close to some freighter, see some seals, look at fancy houses, see lots of mountain ranges and have dinner on the beautiful Bowen Island. Highly recommend and worth the money. Great tour guide.

Fantastic trip and Marco was a great guide/host. This is not just a fast boat trip to Bowen Island for dinner and back but a really informative tour on the way of various sights and history of Vancouver. Marco got a call on the way that whales were in the area so he made a quick detour and we saw whales actually jump out of the water - amazing experience. The food was great too. Highly recommended.
