Awesome tour. Nice views of Vancouver and great music. It was a really fun ride. Captain Simon made sure we got to see eagles and seals and gave a lot of interesting history about Vancouver. I Highly recommend it.
This was a great 3 hour tour of Vancouver and the surrounding area. Our tour guide was Paul and he was brilliant. So well informed and interesting. We have been to Vancouver a few times but have never done this tour before. Well worth it!! They provide heat suits and you stay nice a warm on the water!
What an amazing experience! A wonderful way to experience Vancouver. Captain was knowledgeable and full of information. Views were beautiful! Accessible for my husband in a wheelchair.
They provide adequate clothing covers for the experience. Bring sunglasses especially if it is a sunny day. You do stay dry with their coveralls
We had the best time! Marco was a great guide and we learned so much about vancouver and the surrounding areas. Seeing the city from the water was absolutely beautiful and we got to see cute animals as a bonus! Would definitely recommend this tour for a fun afternoon adventure!
Nice exposure to the working side of the harbor. Chris did a great job and was enjoyable company. Good history lesson and explanation of the evolution of the port. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
This was a wonderful fun filled trip. Paul provided wonderful history facts about Vancouver, some that even locals weren’t aware off. The trip was smooth and the warm suits kept us nice and cozy. The falls were amazing hidden gems. Thank you so much for a wonderful adventure.
Absolutely wonderful experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the history, the politics and the stunning natural landscape. To be honest, the falls were a bit underwhelming, it was late in the year, so not much water, but the trip itself was the highlight of our trip to Vancouver.
Captain Ray was the best! This was a super fun tour. Small group of 12 people and any spot on the boat you get great views. Highly recommend!
Commentrary was fantastic the knowledge about the journey very experienced. Length of journey was just right
Wonderful tour of the Indian Arm to Granite Falls. Marco is a great guide. Highly recommend!
It was a lot of fun, I got to see a different view from the water side. The tour guide was excellent full of information and a lot fun
Fun and bouncy on zodiac. Nice dinner at local Italian restaurant. Great views of Vancouver, Stanley Park from water.
After a small walk through the boat yard we found the starting location. We were met by Marco who was outstanding. He was our guide and boat driver. It was a bit cold and rainy but that meant we were almost alone on the water. We got to see some of the big container ships as well as wildlife. There were some exciting boat driving as well.
Our guide Marco was the best, had an amazing time. Not too busy down the Indian arm so we could experience some lovely peace and quiet. Would recommend.
A truly wonderful experience. Beautiful scenery. Our tour captain Marco was so entertaining and fun.
Very knowledgeable guide. Some exciting boat riding. Saw wildlife and very beautiful scenery. A little wet in the rain.
Great experience. It’d be better to have more detail about the meetup point. A landmark in the instruction: ‘walk on the boardwalk near the Vancouver Fish Company.” An automobile can’t get there; you must walk to their office. Otherwise, it truly was excellent. Paul, our boat operator, was friendly, he knew the history, explained sites, gave helpful instructions, was patient and fun! A highly recommended activity and I would do it again on a future trip.
Fab 3 hours - didn’t hurt that the weather was good, but some amazing scenery, great tour guide / captain Paul and all the other passengers very kindly put up with my terrible sense of humour. The only downside for me was I would’ve loved a brief run at full speed, but otherwise, a great way to spend 3 hours
Exceptional excursion! Marco our guide was awesome! He was informative, personable and gave us a great time! Ask him about his no calorie donuts!
This was such an amazing experience.. we were taken in between the Vancouver mountains and it was such an amazing adventure.. I would do it over again.. This excursion is a must do when you are visiting Vancouver.. 10 out of 10
Fun ride but windy. Better in the spring when waterfalls are full. Decent guide. Boat can be very bouncy.
My sister and I loved this activity - we had the best time! It was about three hours on the boat, so make sure you dress in layers in case you get cold! FYI - You do not get off of the boat to see the waterfall.
Be ready to see a bustling seaport, gorgeous waterfalls, and wildlife. We saw a few sea lions. Learned about the areas surrounding Vancouver.
Soooooo much fun!!! Definitely a must do and Tegan was a great captain and was super fun!! We had a wonderful time and would love to do it again sometime!!!
Had a brilliant experience on the Granite Falls Zodiac tour today, despite the gloomy overcast conditions. From the moment we met our guide and driver Marco we knew it was going to be wonderful. He was full of energy, full of energy, engaged us as individuals from the start and we soon found out he was knowledgeable about the area we would be exploring. He also knew when it was the right time for speed ups and donuts and when to slow down for photo ops. He stopped many times and gave us a great depth of information about the key points we visited and was always looking out for bonus wildlife sightings to visit as well. He gave us plenty of time for photo and video ops while also checking in on our well being. Despite the weather the scenery was awesome. Waterfalls magnificent, local residential areas amazing, the fjord jaw dropping. Absolutely recommend.
Sam was an INCREDIBLE captain — so funny and knowledgeable and obviously skilled; we saw the most incredible views, stopped for surprise jellyfish and seals, and hit some memorable speeds lol so glad we booked this tour on a whim, it has been my favorite part of our trip !!!!
Amy, our tour guide was very informative and took us to all the nice sites. She definitely knew a lot of the history which made the tour very interesting. That being said, I would give it five stars, but only the people at the front of the boat got the best views. Not one time was the boat which wasn’t very big was rotated so that everyone could see and get the best pictures. She obviously knew how to operate the boat extremely well, but never did. The people on the left side of the boat were able to get a good view of any of the icons. So the tip would be always sit in the very front or right front because the boat always exits to the left to the next site. I would have to recommend to the agent agency to ensure to have the boat perform a 360 so everyone can get a good picture and see the sites.
The zodiac boat was a lot of fun! The trip was made even more fun by our knowledgeable and entertaining guide Simon who passed on good information and made sure fun was had by all. The trip included learning about the harbor area, commercial activity. history and more, and then we visited the pristine Indian arm area to see the natural beauty and some wildlife. This informative and fun boat tour is highly recommended.
Definitely wear the orange jumpsuit provided. You will get wet. Wonderful experience and great scenery. Our driver was very knowledgeable
Great experience, beautiful scenery. Be prepared to get wet and deal with some large waves. I would not recommend to older folks if the boat hits larger waves.
Alec was fantastic. Would go again with him anytime
This was a great way to see more of British Columbia. We saw waterfalls and a seal. Our guide was excellent. A very enjoyable 3 hours on the water. Thank you.
Fun ride around the waters surrounding vancouver and north. Our guide was very was amazing and shared his knowledge of the area.
It’s a 3-hour boat ride. It leaves the busy harbor at Granville Island and travel through the shipping channel. We went up the waterway where it gets more remote and natural. We saw 2 waterfalls. The guide describes the area as you travel and points out places of interest and provides good information. It was a fun boat ride and interesting tour,
Would definitely recommend this tour. Good amount of time on boat and lots to see. The captain was nice and friendly I think his name was mark or Marco
The trip was beautiful!!!! Amazing views. Fun. Alex made it exciting and informative. Loved it and totally recommend it ❤️❤️
Our family of eight had an incredible experience on the Granite Falls Zodiac Adventure, and it genuinely exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel welcome, but it was our captain who truly made the day special. He struck the perfect balance between fun, knowledgeable, and safety‑focused, keeping everyone—from the youngest in our group to the adults—engaged and comfortable throughout the entire trip. The ride itself was exhilarating. Skimming across the water in the Zodiac gave us a front‑row seat to some of the most stunning scenery around Vancouver. The captain shared stories, pointed out landmarks, and clearly knew the area inside out, which added so much depth to the experience. We saw an eagle soaring overhead, along with plenty of other wildlife along the shoreline, making the adventure feel like a mix of sightseeing, nature tour, and thrill ride all in one. One moment that really showed the captain’s dedication was when a hat blew off during the ride. Without hesitation, he slowed down, circled back, and retrieved it with a smile. It was a small gesture, but it said everything about how much he cared about making sure everyone had a great time. By the time we reached Granite Falls, the whole family was completely immersed in the experience. The falls were beautiful, and the stop gave us a chance to take photos, stretch our legs, and soak in the surroundings before heading back. Every single one of us left with huge smiles and plenty of stories to share. If you’re visiting Vancouver and want an adventure that blends excitement, natural beauty, and genuinely fantastic service, this tour is absolutely worth booking. Our family loved every minute, and we’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Tegan out Captain was very knowledgeable and Fun! She gave us the right amount of information without overwhelming us! We saw Harbor seals, moon jellyfish and Two waterfalls! We had fun with the waves and did a few spins! The Bridges were pretty and the seaplanes landing and taking off were cool! Overall an Excellent Morning!!!!
Excellent experience. Sam was knowledgeable about the sites and very friendly.
We had one day in Vancouver and chose this boat tour, which was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon! We took our five children (ages 8-20), and we all loved it. It had a bit of adventure, serene natural settings, and some historical perspective. Marco was an enthusiastic guide who made our tour memorable. We went out on a sunny day but were happy for the puffy wetsuits that kept us comfortable when it got windy. Highly recommend!
Fantastic! Captain Sam's enthusiasm for the wildlife and our time on the water was contagious ~ everyone in our party had an exceptionally good time!
One of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Captain Jack was wonderful—knowledgeable, experienced, great at spotting and pointing out wildlife. Entirely well worth the ticket price and the best possible way to spend 3 hours in Vancouver!
Beautiful experience on the water. Ray was an excellent guide, sharing his knowledge and love of the area.
If I could give this tour a 10 stars I would!! It far exceeded our expectations! The zodiac felt adventurous! We saw the city and then we saw complete nature (land that could only be accessed by boat). It truly felt like we were in a magazine! Absolutely breathtaking! Our guide (Cesar) was fantastic!!! I would recommend this your 100x over!
Fantastic experience! So relaxing being out on the water! Captain James gave us great commentary as we rode along. Saw waterfall close up as well as seals. One of the best part of our trip to Vancouver!
This was a great way to see Vancouver! Our guide, Simon, was wonderful, not only as a tour guide, but also aiding my 92 year-old father on and off the boat. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend to anyone visiting Vancouver. The information Simon shared about the city, the infrastructure and the environment was excellent and more than we expected. Enjoyed every minute!
A balanced fun, informative and relaxing time on the water! It was well worth it!! Marco was an exceptional host and guide!
What a beautiful and fun tour! The speedboat was such a great way to see the scenery, and we were even lucky enough to see a whale. Even though the tour time was almost over, Marko was so patient and let us stay and watch it, which made the experience even more special. Marko was amazing — by far one of the best guides I’ve had in a long time. Great vibe, amazing music, super friendly and patient, and he genuinely seems to love what he does. That makes such a difference. Thank you, Marko, for such a beautiful and memorable day. So much fun and absolutely worth it!
Organised and well prepared tour. The trip was 3 hours and full of factual information along the way our tour guide Amy was full of useful information especially being a marine biologist her knowledge on local jellies, seals and orcas was fabulously informative! Scenery was amazing. Perfect way to spend the afternoon.
