marina to begin the ride. We provide life vests, and our trained guides also help you put it on, if you're new to it. When you're ready, we take you for a two-hour sea safari on our 28 feet high-speed rigid inflatable Zodiac. During this two-hour trip, you are sure to catch sight of Vancouver's exotic wildlife such as porpoises, bald eagles, shore birds like cormorants, pigeons, guillemot and blue herons, and more. Sometimes, you can also see whales playing on these waters, if you're lucky! You'll also cruise through some of the best natural formations like sea caves and Pam rocks where seals abound.
Through this trip, you'll cruise into the beautiful Strait of Georgia, where there are more than 200 Gulf Islands. These waters are surrounded by steep mountains that drop directly into the Strait to give you a close-up view of the natural plants, birds and land creatures that call these mountains their home. After going around this strait for some time, we head back towards Horseshoe Bay. On this trip back, you can see Vancouver's skylines and the opulent waterfront mansions of some of the richest people of Vancouver. Lastly, we help you get off the boat and drop you back in downtown Vancouver.
For this trip, we need a minimum of two people and a maximum of 36 people per trip. We recommend you wear layered clothing as temperatures can vary between the marina and Strait of Georgia. We also recommend you wear closed shoes, bring sun protection, camera and binoculars to get a better view of the wildlife.
Since our boat tours are popular during the summer months, it's a good idea to plan and book as soon as you can. If you have to cancel your booking for some unfortunate reason, we refund the entire cost provided you cancel at least seven days before. We charge 50 percent if you cancel between three to six days and no refund if there is only 48 hours or less for your trip.
