Top Vancouver Nature and Wildlife Tours - page 4

Walking tour that is not too strenuous depending on age and physique. 90% path walking but incline and uneven surfaces can be somewhat challenging for some. Colin (tour guide) was absolutely incredible. A young man who has devoted his life to trees but never got too heavy with the information or went too far down the rabbit hole of the tree world he knows so much about. He kept it educational and engaging. Of course if you wanted to know more he was happy to extend the facts of the Park and surrounding areas. There wasn’t a question he didn’t know the answer to from historical references, to ancient practices and even current events. He really found a way to connect all things to the forest in a unique way that showed how much he cares for and understands multiple different perspectives of how we humans impact and interact with the trees. We saw the largest tree in Vancouver, the 2bd largest maple in the world. Our kids 11 &13 are fun loving exploratory kids and Colin enjoyed having them go off in nature and find slugs, potato bugs, butterflies and my son even found a heron bird leg that was scraps from the bald eagles next above. We were all so engaged that Colin extended the tour a bit and we went a little over the 1.5 hour time. We took a ton of family photos and learned so much about Stanley Park and the trees there. I highly recommend the tour. It’s short, educational, in nature, and has a fabulous engaging host!

Kyle was absolutely amazing with a complete experience full of details about Vancouver and accommodating to all passengers. His witty humor was also an added pleasure to the whole adventure and ending off with the suspension bridge topped off the whole experience

We were fortunate to have such a stellar crew of naturalists , captain and photographer. It made for a fun and informative experience. We were so lucky to see sea lions , seals, porpoise and bald eagles but the best part was seeing so many humpback whales slapping the water their flippers to attract other humpback whales , coming up for air and spraying water from their blowhole and the best part was when one came out of the water on the side of the boat to catch a look at us ! I had no idea they were so inquisitive. Everyone on the boat was in awe of these gentle giants . I would highly recommend this experience .
