He gave us a wonderful tour as he told us about the history of the island and the natural sights all around. Incredible to see so many bald eagles perched on top of the trees. Fun seeing the "Bat Cave" at Finisterre Island. Being with Hasen was like hanging out with one's super nice neighbor. He was so congenial and helpful all day. He lent us dry bags for what we brought onto the boats and gave us a locked locker to use for our valuables. He also gave us some great tips on how to enjoy the rest of our visit to Bowen Island.

Our guides were amazing - pointing out wildlife as well as helping us find the route best for our family's ability. The lunch they provided was delicious - though the setting and hard work to get to the island was a contributing factor. Overall highly recommended as a guiding service and as a kayaking destination (at least for our late beginner/intermediate kayak abilities). Seals, sea stars, several seagulls, but alas no orcas.

Great charter service by the owner: Warren!…read more We booked a 7 hour Howe Sound charter and enjoyed the tour around the Vancouver harbor, Georgia strait, and Howe sound. Very professional, accommodating, clean boat, and top of the line gear. We were able to fish for salmon, set crab traps and spot prawn traps. Warren will meet you at one of 3 locations: Port Moody, Vancouver, and North Vancouver. A must do for your trip to Vancouver.

If I could leave more stars I would! We did the UNESCO Biosphere & Bowen Island Boat Tour. This was…read moreeasily the best outdoor adventure I've had all summer. Guaranteed thrills on this zodiac boat tour! Wow..talk about an adrenline rush! This was basically a high speed thrill ride in a jet boat with amazing scenery. Life is always better on a boat! I was literally just having the time of my life!! 3 hours of pure adrenline and jaw-dropping views....speeding across those waves felt like a roller coaster on the water! Zooming down the ocean, wind in your hair, sun on your face...you'll have the time of your life!!! The adrenaline rush was unreal, and the views from the water were stunning. Still buzzing from the speed, and sprays. And let's be honest, seeing Van from the water is absolutely epic. You rediscover the city from a completely different perspective. The experience is a total thrill -- high speeds with the sun and wind in your face, plus those mini splashes of water that make it feel even more epic. Vancouver's coastline is stunning, but seeing it at high speed is a whole different experience. We felt safe but totally exhilarated. From the moment the ride started, the speed, fun turns, and splashes of water made it so exciting. The ride itself was an absolute adrenaline rush! Speed, excitement, and so much fun from start to finish! The speed, and scenery were all unreal. We had so much fun from start to finish -- adrenaline, laughs, and nonstop excitement. Shoutout to Jessica for the top-tier communication! Her communication was exceptional leading up to the event which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Huge kudos to our driver Ray for his great sense of humour and keeping the vibe fun the whole ride. The energy from Ray was fantastic, keeping everyone hyped up and laughing the entire time. Definitely hope you get Ray as your driver! He clearly knew exactly how to make the ride exciting while keeping it smooth and controlled. Ray's energy, charisma, and knowledge about Van were truly impressive. He didn't miss a single detail and made the entire tour feel engaging and special. Thanks to him, you really feel like you get to know the city, because he shares so many interesting facts about every place you pass. It's not just a boat ride - it's 3 hours of thrills with incredible views at every turn! The boat then stopped at Bowen Island and the tour includes ice cream on the island. It's a little escape from the busy everyday life! Life just moves differently here! I could get very used to this island time thing! I can't think of a more exciting way to experience Vancouver's scenery! We got to feel the rush of speed, soak up the splash, and experience Vancouver from a whole new perspective. We cruised through the Howe Sound, felt the ocean breeze, and took in unbeatable views of Vancouver! Speed, waves, water splashes...full-on adrenaline rush! If you're looking for something unforgettable to do before the summer ends, you need to come experience this! Some moments are best experienced from the water!! Hands down, this is one of the best experiences to have in all of Vancouver. If you're looking for a fun, high-energy adventure on the water, this is absolutely the ride to take. If you are hesitant to book this tour, I am here to tell you to just hit that reservation button.

Without a doubt the best fishing experience I have ever had! Troy took me and my girlfriend out…read moresturgeon fishing and we had the time of our lives! We are both very inexperienced and he took the time to explain everything to us and taught us every step along the way. He knew exactly where to go to get the most action and we caught a TON of sturgeon! By the end of the day we were hooking and landing our own rods (we started with him hooking them for us) but it was quite the learning experience and what a workout. Couldn't have asked for a better day on the water, listening to tunes, while learning and perfecting my fishing skills. I won't use anyone else for a guided tour, I have tried others in the past but this was by far the best experience. Other tours I noticed the guides weren't very friendly or knowledgeable about where to go to get the most luck and worst of all they were watching the clock and wanting to get off the water exactly when our time was up. Troy wasn't like this at all, he took the time and made sure we were satisfied before heading in. Very personable and really did put the needs of me and my girlfriend first. 10/10 recommend, you definitely won't be disappointed.

Pros: - Relatively efficient rental process…read more - Workers are nice and friendly although it's clear that they are seasonal and probably very temporary workers. Most are teenagers so hopefully the company is paying them fairly. - Its relatively safe if you kayak close to the dropoff point. You can also explore a much larger area (see the map online) but it's actually quite far. Water is pretty shallow in a lot of parts. Cons: - The rental was $60 for 2hrs for a double which isn't too bad but can definitely add up if you have a large party. Singles are a bit more expensive per person. Definitely expect to spend at least 1hr kayaking. - At least on the day I went, the currents were quite strong which is strange since we were in an inlet.

Well run, definitely busy so make sure you book your equipment online a day ahead of time. Everyone…read moreworking here is friendly and we truly had an amazing time on the water. So amazing, and not too busy on the water.

Went fishing for all of our first times with a group of friends, and we all had a blast!…read more Kevin is super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He's a funny guy who chatted with us while we were out as well as being attentive to what the group wanted to do and made sure we all had a lot of fun! We caught a lot of fish and he even cuts, guts, cleans, and bags them up for you so that your catches are ready to just cook and eat! 5/5 would do again. Thank you Bonnie Lee Fishing Charters for making our first time going out on a boat and fishing such a wonderful and memorable experience!

I booked a charter for winter fishing on November 23, 2017 and had an awesome time with Kevin!…read more Kevin successfully guided my two boys (8 and 10-years old) and I to 3 delicious chinook salmon, 10 dozen spot prawns and over a dozen crabs in about 7.5 hours on the water. Kevin is dialed into where the fish, prawns, and crab are located and provided key knowledge on where to set traps, how to get bit and the proper way to fight and land the fish. My boys and I have spent countless hours on the water bass fishing so we know how this fishing game is played. We went knowing that there is always a good chance that you may not catch anything. Ive learned after this experience, that Kevin has the knowledge to increase your chances of success. From the beginning of our trip, Kevin was confident that we were going to catch fish. Even after a slow start, Kevin stated that we were going to catch fish and we would stay as long as it takes to do so. We ultimately caught 3 nice salmon and the shrimp and crab pots were full! Kevin was great with kids and got them involved in setting and picking up our filled traps. He cleaned and filleted our fish, cleaned the crab and shrimp which made an awesome Thanksgiving feast. I highly recommend Kevin as a salmon fishing guide and thank him for a trip that my sons and I will never forget.

I wish I could say I enjoyed it. Starting off, we got there…read moreat 730am ready to board. We didn't board until after 8am because others were late. The captain was nice and a few others were helpful, but unfortunately the overall experience was not very pleasant. Almost everyone else on the boat seemed to know each other and 95% of the time spoke Mandarin to each other. I am not a Mandarin speaker so it really felt like we were being left out a lot. Only managed to get some sort of information or communication because my friend can vaguely translate what they say. As someone paying around $300/person, I expected to learn a lot and have more guidance. The moment we got on the boat one of the other guests lit up a cigarette. Let's just say throughout the entire day, someone was toting a lit cigarette. They probably smoked close to 3 packs while on board. No one from my group smokes, so we were pretty irradiated to say the least. We learned very little and had little guidance. They were helpful when we needed help, but for the most part it felt like they were having a blast and we were the party crashers. I do like that they followed the rules of fishing and what fish they have to release, what can be caught and what needed to be returned. However, they threw their cigarette butts into the ocean which I felt was unacceptable. Since I'm a beginner, I tried to copy what the others did on the boat in terms of releasing the line, but then told we shouldn't do that. I pretty much kept to myself and kept quiet because of the language barrier and honestly wasn't there to criticize people, I was there to learn and have fun . The 3 stars go to the captain and 1 or 2 of his friends. I really appreciate them giving us their catches and some crabs because I wasn't able to catch anything worth keeping and really they were kind and would answer questions if we had them, but I'm really shy, especially when it comes to new things. However, the last 30 mins would be the highlight, the other 8 hrs I felt like the kid that wasn't invited to the party but people were obligated to be nice to. I hope they learn from this review and are able to give other people a better experience than the one I got today.
