Fun and great dinner too
This tour is absolutely marvelous. The zodiac boats are very comfortable and the seats are wonderful. Our captain and guide was absolutely marvelous. He knew his stuff and we enjoyed all of the information he gave us. The dinner at the restaurant was very very nice and then on the way back we spotted sperm whales who were actually breaching. We saw at least three.
Wonderful trip highly recommended.

Some unexpected uphill...
Some unexpected uphill climbs… be prepared. I loved the camera tips and ideas to capture interesting subjects. Long exposures and panoramic views were new to me and very much appreciated information for future. The small group and pick up/drop off from home were appealing features!
All in all a very enjoyable and informative day!

Not to miss - book it!
Absolutely incredible, not to miss experience while you’re in Vancouver. We have done a zodiac tour with this company the last 3 summers and would do it again and again. The Bowen Island tour is excellent, I absolutely love being on the water, our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the area and the island itself is so quaint and beautiful. Dinner was fantastic and had a lovely atmosphere. The ride back at sunset was just spectacular - truly a memorable experience that will stay with you forever.

The highlight of our trip to Vancouver!
This trip was the highlight of our week! We really enjoyed our driver, his kindness and vast wealth of knowledge!
The dinner at Bowen Island was great as well and we would happily take this excursion again! Just fantastic!

Best Excursion Ever! Don't Miss this one!
Most memorable night ever! So much fun and a great captain- Simon! The boat tour was such a unique experience and a great way to see Vancouver from the water and all the beauty of the area!
Dinner was special and the sunset views going back were breathtaking! The night was simply the best though because of Simon and his level of skill with driving the boat, all of his love and knowledge of the Vancouver area and most of all his connection to all the passengers of all ages! Very rare to meet people like him!

Beautiful Bowen Island
We enjoyed our photography tour in Gastown so much that we decided to book the Bowen Island Ferry, Hike, and Photography Tour. Nafees picked us up at our hotel and we parked at Horseshoe Bay. We took a short 20-minute ferry ride to Bowen Island and then went on a photography hike, where we continued learning and practicing composition skills and shooting in manual modes on our cameras.
I highly recommend this tour!

Idyllic day on Bowen island
The island is beautiful and Nafees is the perfect guide and companion. Knowledgeable, interesting and very helpful. I got some great photography advice and lots of lovely shots taken of me too at all the best spots.

Great Way to See Sites From The Water
What a fun tour! First, our guide (Cassidy? Cassandra?) was terrific. You could tell she loved the boats, being on the water, and helping make our experience the best it could be. Second, the whole tour was fun, fun, fun. Loved seeing Vancouver from the water and the meal on Bowen Island was delicious. Would definitely recommend doing this.
