This was an amazing experience! It was great to see all of the wildlife in their environment. The scenery was spectacular. We had a great lunch at Tippy's on Bowen Island. The meeting place was a little challenging to locate. The address did not show up on any map. The "Lobster Man" had an address on the road that showed on the map. Once you get there, walk towards the harbor and the meeting place is at the end on the left side.
Awesome exhilarating trip

Great boat ride , beautiful scenery. Graydon was very knowledgeable about the area and allt of fun. We were locals just looking for a little adventure and this trip fit the bill. The itinerary of the trip was great , having the Bowen Island stop towards the end was nice. Broke up the boat ride with a little walking and a bathroom break before heading back.

Wow! Fabulous! The boat ride was safe and comfortable with the shock absorbing seats. It was a relatively new boat. The tour guide/boat captain was great. He managed the boat well. The ride was comfortable. He knew all we wanted to know about the alignment of the tour path we traversed. The Biosphere talk on the preservation of the system. and the view of the large number of jelly fish in the water was very interesting. He made intermittent stops to brief us on the logging business, the survival of the trees, the mountains, the extent of roads along the mainland, the native villages and their inhabitants. etc. We stopped at the Steamship Company Marina, where I found the floatation system for all the river founded structures there to be quite equipped to deal with the variations in the tides. Great ice cream there as well. My wife, my daughter and her three children (the youngest 5 years of age) were on the tour, and it was very family oriented. I highly recommend it for families.
