One of the best things to do when visiting Vancouver. - This was one of the highlights of my trip to Canada. I had originally booked a seal and whale sight seeing tour. I was contacted the day before to advise they had very few booked on that tour and they offered me a free upgrade to this tour. Out tour guide was Danni, she was really cool and made everyone feel very comfortable. The ride out of the bay and up to Indian arm was amazing. We were provided with survival suits, but i would recommend bring a hat and gloves. it gets cold. The views where stunning and Danni was a wealth of information and had good humour. Not my intended trip but is turned out to of of the best things I did. Weather was perfect so maybe we lucked in. But I would recommend if you want to see Vancouver from a different perspective. Vancouver water adventures were really well run and had excellent communication.

Highly recommend Granite Falls tour. Dress in warmly rainproof gear! - Absolutely beautiful tour. Wear rain gear and dress warmly. You wear a suit, but it’s cold and wet out there on the water espywhen you are moving. (Dress like you would to ride a motorcycle when it’s raining.) I would go again and highly recommend it.

Great value for 3 hours of fun - Greg was a phenomenal captain and guide. He pointed out so many areas of interest and in a fun and informative way. His enthusiasm was wonderful. He’s probably done the tour hundreds of times yet he acted like it was his first time too. It made it so much fun.

Terrific Experience - Our tour guide Paul was so knowledgeable and made the trip exciting!!
Suits were very comfortable and easy on/off.
The scenery was absolutely beautiful.
My favorite part was in Indian arm when he told us to " breathe in the air, this is the purest/cleanest air you can breathe"
Bald eagles galore and baby seals!!
Worth every penny!
Thank you for a wonderful afternoon

Don't skip this tour - Danie was an excellent tour guide. The scenery and fresh air were amazing. This tour will allow you to see many areas you would not normally see. Being on the water was very pleasant and felt very safe.

Likely a great tour but pick your season and clothes carefully - I want to preface this by saying I'm sure this tour would be great if you are in the correct clothes for the day. No one can help the weather but this is more about appropriate preparation. I checked after the tour and couldn't find any reference as to what to wear. I think we were falsely reassured by seeing survival suits were provided. They are not water proof so on a wet cold day the water soaks through to your undies relatively quickly. Also with about 6 degrees ambient and raining, real temp is below zero. So woolen gloves when wet no good and you need water proof shoes. Being cold for a bit is fine, but wet and cold down to underwear and numb hands and feet does diminish the enjoyment when temp is so low. I think either water proof gear should be provided, or there should be clear instructions about what to wear on the day. Most people I suspect will assume a survival suit will keep them warm and dry mostly, which it doesn't. The guide was fantastic given the conditions and this is no reflection on her. So by all means go on this tour but my advice is
1. Probably avoid winter
2. If you do go in winter bring your own full water proof gear, including fleece under layers, wind/waterproof gloves eg gortex, waterproof shoes/boots. And consider a balaclava as the rain stings your face at pace. You can always leave stuff in the office if the weather is good.
