5.00Our guide Eimear was awesome! She was engaged, funny, interested in chatting with us and told us a lot of interesting facts as we paddled False Creek. We had a safety briefing as well as helpful tips given to us as we paddled that left us feeling safe and comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend this tour, ask for Eimear to be your guide!!!

5.00Did the evening kayak tour with Tadhg. The whole tour took about 2 hours in which we get to see different parts of Vancouver and learn about the history of the city. Our guide Tadhg is knowledgeable and fun! He took care of everyone despite the people might have different levels of kayaking. A really fun experience and would definitely recommend it to people.
Fun Intro to Paddleboarding

5.00The Stand Up Paddleboard tour was an excellent intro to paddleboarding and tour of the Granville Island area. Even as a local I came out of the tour learning more about our city. It was a busy day out on the water and as a first timer it felt a bit intimidating, but thanks to our amazing guides Eimear and Leah we were in safe hands. After this I would feel confident paddling alone next time in False Creek!
Mother Daughter time

5.00We are locals so doing a tour was a bit touristy for us but I have to say it was so fun hanging out with our guides Eimear and Jules and learning about our city and enjoying some mother daughter time as it’s sometime challenging finding things to do with a teenager. Paddleboarding with blowup paddle boards at night in False Creek is a must to do with your kids or partner or friend. Highly recommend it
Amazing paddle to light up the night and take in the cityscapes

5.00This was one of the highlights of my trip to Vancouver and I highly recommend it. The light up paddle boards were amazing and lit up the water underneath us as we paddled. It was a very relaxing Zen experience and the views all around from Granville Island to the downtown cityscape and the bridges lit in the distance were gorgeous!! My guides Eimear and Sinead were the best!! They were fun, they were knowledgable and patient they gave great insights and interesting stories at all the city scapes and they made the experience a complete joy it was like paddle boarding around with two good friends. They also captured a lot of great pictures of our adventure so I will have memories for years to come!

5.00My husband and I did this tour as a Friday evening date and it was so fun exploring it from the water at night. Our tour guide, Eimear, was lovely, and shared lots of great information about Vancouver's history that we didn't know, even though we both grew up here!
