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.

Captain Jack was amazing, super friendly and knowledgeable. Gave us such a fantastic water tour. There was only four of us on this particular evening, we travelled to Snug Cove and had dinner. The town was super quaint and the restaurant was beautiful. Sadly the restaurant really was a disappointment when it came to service. It took 35 minutes to get our “pre-ordered” drink and our food didn’t arrive until 10 minutes before we had to depart. They didn’t have the item I had selected, it took 20 minutes for them to let me know that and another 10 for them to come back and ask me what my other choice was. We had to quickly eat before our meeting time. That is not this tour operator’s fault at all. We went on the zodiak tour to Granite Falls last August and it was one of our favourite tours of all time. This company is great, don’t hesitate to book a tour with them.

We’ve lived in Vancouver most of our lives and yet this boat ride was something entirely new for us. Our captain, Ray shared lots of interesting local history. Snug cove on Bowen is charming and we had a delicious dinner at Tuscany restaurant. The sunset views on the way back were spectacular
