Had a fun time in Deep Cove. Due to high tourist season, it is best to go online to register and…read morereserve your kayaks. It will save you a lot of time when you pick up your kayak. Prices are pretty reasonable and we chose the two hour option due to our limited time during the sunset period. The staff were busy but friendly and assisted us with our kayaks. They will brief you about the kayaks, safety and where to go. Now, I would select a longer time to truly appreciate Deep Cove's natural beauty when you aren't dodging other kayaks or boats. The traffic can be somewhat chaotic in the summer time and it is main area for a lot of boaters heading out of the cove. We kayak around three islands within our two hour option, but didn't relax as much as we want. Again, the salt water, slight wind, and being in the 80's made it a wonderful but brief time.

Great place to kayak, incredible views, definitely worth a visit…read more Equipment and gear were great and in great shape. Our guides were knowledgeable and got us in and out of our kayak without us getting our feet wet. I didn't give five stars for two reasons. First, the two guides seemed a bit lax, they mostly paddled with us instead of taking lead and sweep positions, despite the fact that two out of the six of us had never kayaked before. They did look back periodically to check on everyone, but it was still strange compared to other kayak tours I've been on. Second, they didn't take pictures of us, other tours I've been on do it as a matter of course and email or post pictures to everyone. Still, this was a very worthwhile experience, and everyone enjoyed the views, the seals we saw in the water, etc., and no one had trouble keeping up despite the wind and the range of both ages and kayaking experience.

It was quite relaxing and luckily it wasn't that busy. Along the Quayside Marina there are lots of restaurants and cafe shops. It is definitely a great place to chill with friends or even just by yourself. Only issue is that parking is not easy to find and it is not free.

The Yaletown neighborhood has it all. Restaurants, bars, microbrew, markets and shops all within walking distance. There's really no need to hire a car or request an Uber when at this marina. Plenty of temporary moorage for boats of most cruising size and up to 120 feet. We were only half that size and tied off to the main dock. Despite being in the middle of it all, the foot traffic was not noticeable and I felt very safe leaving the boat. 30, 50, 100 amp power is available. Coal Harbour is nice, secure and quiet but if you want a break from the sea and to enjoy a few nights of city life, call into Quayside Marina on 66A and tie off. It's a great place to float.

She patiently explained to us the places we can go to and visit using their ferry service. We would have gone back to the hotel, had she not told us to go visit Kitsilano beach and the Maritime museum. She was very helpful to the other tourists who were buying tickets just like us. Troy was awesome and helpful, too. We left a box of fruit on the ferry and he asked us if we wanted it back. Although, it was ok not to get it back, we found it very thoughful of him to ask. I highly recommend this business. Take the ferry and explore this inlet.

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.

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.

There's a cafe (Court 6 Cafe), feet washing station and two showers. The best was when they had a fun weekday drop-in/ladies night but that no longer exists. It's fully booked for league nights (with three sessions). Couple tidbits: - 5 indoor beach courts open year round - Plenty of volleyball league options (2's and 4's). Not cheap as it's about $25.00/session to play - Expensive court rentals ($134.24/hr) unless booked last minute or at odd times ($59.41/hr) The only indoor place to play beach volleyball but be prepared to pay for it.

There were lockers available but we just put our stuff on the tables and benches. Reservations and pricing - booked the reservation via their online platform through catch corner. The pricing wasn't clear online so I had to call ahead of doing the online reservation myself. The online price for the court time for 8+ is the fee set for 8 players. While you can have more players on your court (which makes it great to not have to have finalized group numbers until the day of), the website wasn't clear that basically for anything more than 8, the additional players just had to pay in person instead of online. It would have been easier if the website outlined that the court is meant for x number of players to y number of players and the fee is simply for 8 people. Our group ended up having more than 8 players so we paid for the additional players at the end of our session however staff advised that the in person pricing was actually a few dollars cheaper than the online booking as you're also paying online service fees. They advised that you can simply call in to make a reservation too and staff would just take a credit card deposit for 4 players worth so that would have been a good tip to know when I called in initially..... No one in our group has tried archery tag before. Overall, we had a good and fun experience. All the protective gear is provided and the staff also utilized the first portion of the reservation to teach you and let you practice using the bow and arrow and shooting targets. Since the courts are "beaches", no shoes and socks were allowed. There was a feet washing station so crocs and a towel to dry your feet would've been good items to bring. There's a lot of running around during the game but there's a break between each game. Be sure to bring water otherwise they do offer drinks and food as well.

We were a little skeptical going just because it was new to us, but now I can't wait to go again. Not only did we catch several salmon, we had a blast doing so. Their firm is super easy to deal with on the business side and phenomenal guides who are patient and communicative with beginners and full of more advanced info if you're looking to perfect your fly fishing techniques. Joe and Bill know all the rivers and all of the in-out's of flying fishing. We found a nice spot on the Squamish River, got us geared up and outfitted in waders, gave us each flyfishing lessons. They made the whole experience really fun. it took me a while to learn how to cast and how to hook the salmon, but both guides never lost patience or made us feel like rookies. We got lots of great pictures which were later emailed, they made sure my son and I had a great fishing experience we'll always remember! Besides the aforementioned fishing guide services, Fishlander also offers pontoon sales, pontoon rentals and fishing gear sales. I would highly recommend Fishlanders and know they'll help create fishing stories that will last you a lifetime. www.fishlanderspontoons.com (855) 782-FISH (3474)
