Review the Vancouver seal adventure with snorkeling, kayaking, mountain views, practical tips, pricing, and advice on who should book.
“This was the most incredible experience! The guides were so nice and very knowledgeable. Also Kevin was a great sea captain. The seals were adorable and very playful! One jumped up in my husband’s kayak and another nosed and softly bit at my kayak paddle playing with it. The snorkeling was also super fun and it wasn’t too cold since we had the wetsuits.
