Captain Ray was a very knowledgable and fun tour guide and pilot. He showed us many interesting and historical points of interest. He even was able to spot out wildlife, position the boat for us all to see it and allowed us time to take pictures. At one point he sped the boat up and made a figure 8. I highly recommend this activity for anyone visiting (or living in Vancouver. Thank you, Captain Ray!

Pestering customers for reviews is one thing but don't pester me for tips. I have paid for the service and I don't agree to pay any extra. Great service earns great reviews. This would have undoubtedly have been 5 stars were it not for the tips issue.

Loved this trip. Danni was epic. We learnt so much from her. The bald eagle encounter was the highlight along with the scenery.

The zodiac (rib) ride was excellent and well worth going on taking us inland along False Creek. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and answered any questions asked of him. A trip I would recommend and certainly go on again.

Really fun tour for the family with a lot of educational information and even a secret spot that only added to the adventure! Memorable for the whole family and a great way to get away from the city feeling for a few hours!

We were in Vancouver for a Valentine's Day week get-away and really wanted to just get out on the water to see some views and wildlife... all of the whale watching excursions and harbour dinner cruises were closed until at least the warmer weather in May and June so we picked the Granite Falls Zodiac Tour by Vancouver Water Adventures... I used to work year-round out on the water on tugs in nearby Howe Sound and the islands so the available neoprene floater suits to keep us warm were a major "plus" in making the "yes" decision to go on February trip in an open boat up to the North Shore's Indian Arm... we bundled up and suited up and headed out in the super safe Zodiac inflatable boat... our guide did a great job of keeping the ride as smooth as could be by keeping an eye out and quartering the boat wakes, which were really the only chop on an otherwise pretty calm and partially sunny - but very cool on the water - day... the waterfall shown in the Tripadvisor photo is actually Silver Falls, which we saw on the way back and which is closer the the boat and which we would have liked to spend more time enjoying... in that the tour was 3 hours and we really wanted to just be out in nature, we would have preferred to spend less time exploring the commercial and industrial sites, docks and marinas in Vancouver Harbour and spend more time up Indian Arm... we left Indian Arm still being curious to see the Indian River estuary just north of the Wigwam Inn at the north end of Indian Arm... we very much appreciated the land recognition given by our guide that Vancouver and Vancouver Water Adventures is located on and the tour is through the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations... we thought the guide ought to mention as we departed the False Creek dock area heading out into English Bay that the Vancouver Museum and Planetarium and Vanier Park to the left are all on what was once Kitsilano Reserve No. 6 and that the families were forcibly relocated from their Squamish village of Sen̓áḵw in 1913... we were happy to have the opportunity to be out on the water on a cool February day to see Vancouver from the water and to see the seabirds and eagles and seals and waterfalls in the beautiful forested mountain fjord of Indian Arm and then to come back to the Granville Island Market area for a warm up with a fabulous restaurant meal as a wonderful part of the day... We would take the trip again!... thank you Vancouver Water Adventures!

Had a blast on the Zodiac Boat Tour in Vancouver! 🚤🌊 It's like entering a wild, chill paradise – bald eagles doing their thing, seals being the real MVPs, and don't even get me started on the lion jellyfish – they're like underwater rockstars! 🦅🌟 Our guide was top-notch, full of facts and jokes, making the whole trip a wild ride. If you're up for some nature magic and good vibes, this tour is a 5-star winner! 🌈✨
