If I could leave more stars I would! We did the UNESCO Biosphere & Bowen Island Boat Tour. This was…read moreeasily the best outdoor adventure I've had all summer. Guaranteed thrills on this zodiac boat tour! Wow..talk about an adrenline rush! This was basically a high speed thrill ride in a jet boat with amazing scenery. Life is always better on a boat! I was literally just having the time of my life!! 3 hours of pure adrenline and jaw-dropping views....speeding across those waves felt like a roller coaster on the water! Zooming down the ocean, wind in your hair, sun on your face...you'll have the time of your life!!! The adrenaline rush was unreal, and the views from the water were stunning. Still buzzing from the speed, and sprays. And let's be honest, seeing Van from the water is absolutely epic. You rediscover the city from a completely different perspective. The experience is a total thrill -- high speeds with the sun and wind in your face, plus those mini splashes of water that make it feel even more epic. Vancouver's coastline is stunning, but seeing it at high speed is a whole different experience. We felt safe but totally exhilarated. From the moment the ride started, the speed, fun turns, and splashes of water made it so exciting. The ride itself was an absolute adrenaline rush! Speed, excitement, and so much fun from start to finish! The speed, and scenery were all unreal. We had so much fun from start to finish -- adrenaline, laughs, and nonstop excitement. Shoutout to Jessica for the top-tier communication! Her communication was exceptional leading up to the event which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Huge kudos to our driver Ray for his great sense of humour and keeping the vibe fun the whole ride. The energy from Ray was fantastic, keeping everyone hyped up and laughing the entire time. Definitely hope you get Ray as your driver! He clearly knew exactly how to make the ride exciting while keeping it smooth and controlled. Ray's energy, charisma, and knowledge about Van were truly impressive. He didn't miss a single detail and made the entire tour feel engaging and special. Thanks to him, you really feel like you get to know the city, because he shares so many interesting facts about every place you pass. It's not just a boat ride - it's 3 hours of thrills with incredible views at every turn! The boat then stopped at Bowen Island and the tour includes ice cream on the island. It's a little escape from the busy everyday life! Life just moves differently here! I could get very used to this island time thing! I can't think of a more exciting way to experience Vancouver's scenery! We got to feel the rush of speed, soak up the splash, and experience Vancouver from a whole new perspective. We cruised through the Howe Sound, felt the ocean breeze, and took in unbeatable views of Vancouver! Speed, waves, water splashes...full-on adrenaline rush! If you're looking for something unforgettable to do before the summer ends, you need to come experience this! Some moments are best experienced from the water!! Hands down, this is one of the best experiences to have in all of Vancouver. If you're looking for a fun, high-energy adventure on the water, this is absolutely the ride to take. If you are hesitant to book this tour, I am here to tell you to just hit that reservation button.

Captain Joe and Erin are truly the best fishing charter that our family has had the pleasure to…read moreexperience!! They are super welcoming and knowledgeable and their passion shines through! We had three young kids (8,5, and 4yo) and they all had the best time. They had a life jacket for my 4 year old. We were able to haul lots of crabs, spot prawns, 3 ling cods, salmon! They also showed us sea lion island and seals island which the kids loved. They were all so delicious and fresh. We can't wait to come back hopefully! Best of the best, thank you!!

He's a funny guy who chatted with us while we were out as well as being attentive to what the group wanted to do and made sure we all had a lot of fun! We caught a lot of fish and he even cuts, guts, cleans, and bags them up for you so that your catches are ready to just cook and eat! 5/5 would do again. Thank you Bonnie Lee Fishing Charters for making our first time going out on a boat and fishing such a wonderful and memorable experience!

I booked a charter for winter fishing on November 23, 2017 and had an awesome time with Kevin!…read more Kevin successfully guided my two boys (8 and 10-years old) and I to 3 delicious chinook salmon, 10 dozen spot prawns and over a dozen crabs in about 7.5 hours on the water. Kevin is dialed into where the fish, prawns, and crab are located and provided key knowledge on where to set traps, how to get bit and the proper way to fight and land the fish. My boys and I have spent countless hours on the water bass fishing so we know how this fishing game is played. We went knowing that there is always a good chance that you may not catch anything. Ive learned after this experience, that Kevin has the knowledge to increase your chances of success. From the beginning of our trip, Kevin was confident that we were going to catch fish. Even after a slow start, Kevin stated that we were going to catch fish and we would stay as long as it takes to do so. We ultimately caught 3 nice salmon and the shrimp and crab pots were full! Kevin was great with kids and got them involved in setting and picking up our filled traps. He cleaned and filleted our fish, cleaned the crab and shrimp which made an awesome Thanksgiving feast. I highly recommend Kevin as a salmon fishing guide and thank him for a trip that my sons and I will never forget.

I always thought I would do a Prince of Whales tour in Victoria because I was born there and it's…read moresuch a famous thing to do, but I ended up doing it from Granville Island instead and it was just as exciting as I imagined it would be. Killer whales are one of my favourite animals, so seeing them out in the wild was honestly surreal. There is something completely different about seeing these magnificent animals in their natural environment rather than in captivity. We were lucky enough to see a mama and baby, which made the experience even more special. Knowing that these whales are individually identified, numbered and researched by scientists makes seeing them even more fascinating. I could honestly spend all day out on the water watching them. The boat ride itself is also part of the fun. You're out in the middle of the Salish Sea and it is just so peaceful waiting to see what comes up. They take photos during the tour and send them afterward is a great bonus! The price could be a bit less but it's still an experience I'd recommend.

I'd say it was a nice experience. Unfortunately we didn't see too much. We saw a few humpbacks, but…read morethey didn't breach (not the fault of the cruise company). We really wanted to see some orcas, but it was not meant to be this time. Everyone on the boat was very nice and informative and helpful. Our cruise was four hours long. Just keep that in mind if you are bringing small children or you get seasick. I took Dramamine before hand, but still did not feel well for the majority of the trip. FYI ... there is A LOT of rocking motion on this adventure. The cruise itself was fine and it was fun to look at all the houses and islands and ships along the way. We did see some sea lions and a bald eagle from a distance. I would recommend it.

Had a fun time in Deep Cove. Due to high tourist season, it is best to go online to register and…read morereserve your kayaks. It will save you a lot of time when you pick up your kayak. Prices are pretty reasonable and we chose the two hour option due to our limited time during the sunset period. The staff were busy but friendly and assisted us with our kayaks. They will brief you about the kayaks, safety and where to go. Now, I would select a longer time to truly appreciate Deep Cove's natural beauty when you aren't dodging other kayaks or boats. The traffic can be somewhat chaotic in the summer time and it is main area for a lot of boaters heading out of the cove. We kayak around three islands within our two hour option, but didn't relax as much as we want. Again, the salt water, slight wind, and being in the 80's made it a wonderful but brief time.

Great place to kayak, incredible views, definitely worth a visit…read more Equipment and gear were great and in great shape. Our guides were knowledgeable and got us in and out of our kayak without us getting our feet wet. I didn't give five stars for two reasons. First, the two guides seemed a bit lax, they mostly paddled with us instead of taking lead and sweep positions, despite the fact that two out of the six of us had never kayaked before. They did look back periodically to check on everyone, but it was still strange compared to other kayak tours I've been on. Second, they didn't take pictures of us, other tours I've been on do it as a matter of course and email or post pictures to everyone. Still, this was a very worthwhile experience, and everyone enjoyed the views, the seals we saw in the water, etc., and no one had trouble keeping up despite the wind and the range of both ages and kayaking experience.

Very bad business practice…read more We booked a 3pm tour. It was the last day that we are in Vancouver, we would be flying home that night. At 1:45pm, after we have planned our whole day around the excursion and checked out of the hotel in preparation of this tour, Sea Vancouver office called and said they are cancelling my tour because they "need a minimum of 4 people and only 3 people booked". I explained that we are leaving the city that day, and we planned our whole day around this, and if there is anything they can do. It is unreasonable to only notify me 75 minutes prior to departure time - we were already on the way to the departure point! The only thing they said was that they will refund me in full (I'd better hope so since you cancelled it with incredibly short notice!) I understand that it may not be economical to operate a tour based on fixed cost, but this was NOT written anywhere when I booked it on the official website, but they were happy to take my money when I booked. The confirmation email stated "We reserve the right to delay or cancel a departure for events beyond our control (e.g. adverse weather conditions, technical or mechanical issues, etc.)" -- well, operating a boat when there are "only" 3 paying customers is definitely in their control, they just choose to screw over their customers. This has put a really sour taste on my trip to Vancouver. I would encourage everybody to stay away.

First of all, I would highly, HIGHLY recommend this for all! Specially if its your first time in…read moreVancouver or have not been around the harbor! This was our first time in Vancouver, and whats not a better way to experience it than by taking a boat tour! We honestly planned this boat tour super last minute, so we called a few places, but they were all closed. Fortunately, Sea Vancouver still had tours going out until 7pm which was the last one! The lobby is located in the Westin hotel and the ride is 90 minutes long, which takes you all around the harbor of Vancouver to the English Bay! There was so much to see at the waterfront and we even saw a few dolphins along the ride! We were hoping for orcas too but maybe next time haha. Overall the boat tour was absolutely amazing! Terry our captain, made the experience super educational a fun! Love that guy! Thanks Cap! And thank you Sea Vancouver!

If you're looking to fly fish in Vancouver, Fishlander's are the best! My son and I both had the…read morebest day possible with our guides Joe and Bill. We were a little skeptical going just because it was new to us, but now I can't wait to go again. Not only did we catch several salmon, we had a blast doing so. Their firm is super easy to deal with on the business side and phenomenal guides who are patient and communicative with beginners and full of more advanced info if you're looking to perfect your fly fishing techniques. Joe and Bill know all the rivers and all of the in-out's of flying fishing. We found a nice spot on the Squamish River, got us geared up and outfitted in waders, gave us each flyfishing lessons. They made the whole experience really fun. it took me a while to learn how to cast and how to hook the salmon, but both guides never lost patience or made us feel like rookies. We got lots of great pictures which were later emailed, they made sure my son and I had a great fishing experience we'll always remember! Besides the aforementioned fishing guide services, Fishlander also offers pontoon sales, pontoon rentals and fishing gear sales. I would highly recommend Fishlanders and know they'll help create fishing stories that will last you a lifetime. www.fishlanderspontoons.com (855) 782-FISH (3474)

This place has next level customer service…read more From reading the reviews, we knew this place had bad customer service but it ended up being worse than we expected even knowing that the service is bad! From other reviews, we knew that this place would sometimes close hours early when they felt like it. Not wanting that to happen to us, we called before driving there (we were ten minutes away) to ask if they were open and, at 3pm, they said they'd be open until 6pm. When we got there, they said that they were closed. They literally decided to close and then closed in the ten minutes between telling us they'd be open for three more hours and when we got there even though we told them we were heading there and would be there in ten minutes. It was truly an unparalleled customer service experience. Although this place is the most conveniently located canoe & kayak rental place near where I live, they're not actually more convenient than Burnaby Canoe & Kayak Club (off Burnaby Lake), Rocky Point Kayak, or Deep Cove Kayak, if they can't be trusted stay open for ten minutes when they say they'll be open for three hours.
