British Columbia Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

A great time, saw plenty of whales, really appreciate that they are taking good pictures so we could just enjoy what we were seeing rather than trying to get a decent picture

Get there as soon as it opens so it’s less busy. Great experience especially on a clear skies day. 30 ish mins from downtown

Our entire crew was outstanding from start to finish. Captain Lindsey & First Mate François kept operations running seamlessly. The team of naturalists—Andrei, Eden, and Janae—were incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and eager to share insightful facts about the local marine ecosystem and wildlife. We even got to see some humpbacks Thank you to Lindsey, François, Andrei, Eden, and Janae for a spectacular day on the water!

The captains of these cute little Aquabuses, and the crew were very pleasant young people and helpful. I would recommend this experience to everyone who comes to Vancouver and wants to have a unique experience.

Fabulous experience. Our crew, Connor, Kennedy and Logan were excellent. Very welcoming, helpful and full of great information. We saw lots of humpback whales, sea lions, eagles, loons and even a sea otter as we were arriving back at the dock. I highly recommend this tour to anyone at all interested!

Whales & Lions! Terrific crew

Great overview of the gorgeous city of Vancouver. We did one full loop with Lynn and got a great feel for the city, its neighborhoods and all it can offer. We then stayed on for a second loop so we could hop off to explore the totem poles and have lunch (definitely a must do stop), so we got a second tour guide for the remainder of the loop and she was FANTASTIC - she shared lots more history and fun facts (but we forgot her name!). A great tour if you have limited time and want to see all you can!

We had a fantastic tour with Sean. The food was amazing, and we learned a lot of history and fun facts. We highly recommend this tour!

Great experience, very knowledgeable and friendly crew. We were exceptionally lucky to see 5 Humback Whales and 4 Orcas plus multiple Sea Lions.

The driver also gave us great city details and it was so nice. Great experience would use again when here

Fun and bouncy on zodiac. Nice dinner at local Italian restaurant. Great views of Vancouver, Stanley Park from water.

We enjoyed our Vancouver sight seeing Vancity boat trip with Kat Ron and Andrew. Lovely staff and Kat very knowledgeable. Although the temperature had dropped the staff provided cosy blankets! Would recommend

Amazing boat trip - I definitely recommend the open boat over the covered boat as it felt like we were so close to the whales (one surfaced right by our boat!). We saw a pod of 7 orcas and four humpback whales, as well as sea lions and seals. Our guide Desiree, was fun and informative, she was so knowledgeable and it was very clear how much she loves the whales! I would highly recommend this tour!

I went with some friends on the North Vancouver Food Tour and it was exceptional! Our guide Zach was awesome and thank you for all your knowledge and fun facts about the Shipyards and Lower Lonsdale area. This tour offers great views starting with the 11 minute Seabus ride to the North Shore. The views of Vancouver from the North Shore are stunning and gives you a different perspective of how big Vancouver is! The restaruants were fantastic and it was very easy to get from one to another with our guide. I will certainly be going back to a few for a full meal! We were all too stuffed before our tour ended! I do want to mention that I did a foodie tour by another company and had to go and have a meal afterwards. This was not case with Taste Vancouver food Tours!

It was unforgettable experience in my life. I would like to visit again. It was really amazing. I will recommend to my friends.

Absolutely fabulous experience, virtually flying over Canada. We flew over areas visited earlier in our holiday - eg over Quebec. This experience is not to be missed, whilst visiting Vancouver.
