    Excellent excursion. Our guide was informative, friendly. Capilano suspension bridge well worth the visit. The weather was ideal making the tour even better

    This was the 2nd tour we took from Gray Line Westcoast Sightseeing. Their Whistler and Sea to Sky Gondola Tour was wonderful! Pick-up and drop-off is at whichever hotel you are staying at. On the way to Whistler we made stops at Seawell's Marina, Shannon Falls, & Sea to Sky Gondola Summit. On the way back we stopped at Porteau Cove. Seawell's marina, Shannon Falls, and Porteau Cove were short stops with enough time for photos, bathroom breaks, and picking up a snack (at Seawell's Marina). The majority of the time was spent at Sea to Sky Gondola Summit and Whistler. We appreciated the extra time we had to spend at these 2 places.

    We had approximately 1.5 hours at Sea to Sky Gondola Summit. After taking the Gondola up to the summit area, we had enough time to walk the Panorama Trail (no snow shoes even though they are available to rent; snow was packed down which made it easy to walk in), enjoy the Summit Lodge Viewing Deck, cross the suspension bridge, get a snack at the lodge, and pick up a souvenir from their gift store. For those that don't want to go on the trails, this is a great opportunity to have a leisurely lunch with an incredible view through floor to ceiling windows at Summit Lodge. Sea to Sky Gondola Summit was the highlight of the tour for us. We could've spent more time on the other trails if given the chance.

    Once in Whistler, we had almost 3 hours to enjoy a meal at a restaurant, a coffee break, and to shop in all their many stores.

    Usually we take a car and drive to places on our own. I didn't know I would enjoy taking a tour so much. We were able to learn about the areas/history of the places we were visiting from the tour guide on our drive. He had so much information and knowledge, things I wouldn't have researched on my own. I would describe this tour experience as leisurely and informative (unlike the Buchardt Gardens & Victoria tour; that'll be another view).

    Fabulous, but it was August 2022. Saw lots of Whales in perfect weather conditions. Excellent value for money and wonderful views.

    So much fun! The flight provided amazing views of the city and nearby mountains, parks, ocean and ships. We took the 20 minute flight. We would love to come back and do a longer one!

    very high marks for information about vancouver and surrounding area. very high marks for numerous recommendations like restaurants. high mark for improving understanding of city. would be even better if people had a map to track where they were at different points. and would be better if info was provided on city transport logistics for further exploration "on your own"

    It was a lovely trip. Just exactly what it promised. Carole, our tourist guide, lead us through the whole trip with enjoyable stories with historical context. You can tell she enjoys what she does.

    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!

    This was a great way to explore the city.
    With hindsight I wish I'd done the tour earlier on in my stay in Vancouver rather than towards the end and then rented out a bike on a later day to explore the city further.

    My guide was extremely kind, polite and dedicated. His knowledge of the region made all the difference. What I liked most was the fact that it was a peaceful, unhurried tour with space to really enjoy and enjoy the beautiful locations. It was really worth it and I highly recommend it!

    I came to Vancouver for a conference and a day to kill. Unfortunately, there are no whale watching tours in Feb., but this tour of the entire city culminating with a trip to the Capilano Walking Suspension Bridge and park was fantastic and completely safe! Jessica, our bus driver & tour guide was amazing!
