Nice tour of the waterways around Vancouver. 4 hours went by fast. Saw wildlife and got a good overview of the topography and ecosystem from Paul.

The trip was great. Captain Jack did an excellent job explaining the area and showing us everything from a pair bald eagles to harbour seals, star fish, jelly fish and mind blowing scenery. In 30 minutes you travel from from a city of millions to a very remote and spectacular area of solitude.

We had a great tour with Simon, our wonderful tour guide. It was very informative and so nice seeing the city from the water. Simon did a fantastic job finding and pointing out wildlife along the way. I would take this tour again!
