5.00I had an incredible experience on the City and Seals Tour in Vancouver. The tour offers an amazing blend of urban and natural scenery that truly captures the beauty of the area. • City Views: We got unbeatable views of Vancouver’s stunning skyline, especially around sunset when the buildings were glowing in golden light. Seeing the city from the water was spectacular and gave a whole new perspective compared to land-based tours. • Nature and Wildlife: The highlight for me was seeing the Bald Eagles perched on the lighthouses and the seals bobbing in the water around the rocks — they were adorable. The boat ride took us past the iconic lighthouse, which was picture-perfect against the backdrop of evergreens and rugged coastline. • Scenery: The coastal mountains, the Lions Gate Bridge, and the rugged cliffs with the Canadian flag waving proudly were incredible sights along the route. The evening lighting made everything even more magical. • Boat Ride: The boat itself was comfortable, safe, and fun — perfect for families or couples. Cruising the water with views of the mountains and city was an unforgettable experience
A fun experience

5.00Zack was a fantastic guide. We stayed warm and dry in the life jacket suits. We saw many eagles, seals, and even dolphins! Definitely worth the money!
Great way to see the area

5.00We only had a full day in Vancouver before leaving for a cruise. This was a great way to see a good portion of the area without taking up the majority of our day. Our captain was very knowledgeable and the scenery was beautiful. We had a wonderful time!
