What travelers are saying
- Jack W3 contributionsWe had a great time on our Elaho Exhilarator trip at the start of September. Some of our group were a little apprehensive beforehand, however the staff provided us with thorough instruction plus entertainment on the bus journey, which put us at ease. The trip itself was exciting and varied and our guide Rylan pointed out good views and where to spot the wildlife. We'd love to come back if ever in the area again!Written October 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MercedesponyKitchener, Canada123 contributionsMy daughter and I booked the 2 hour Smooth Classic Kayak Tour of False Creek. Jesse was our guide, and she was fantastic! the tour wasn't difficult and definitely all levels of kayakers would enjoy the experience. We saw a few harbour seals while kayaking and watched a Sunday morning dragonboat race - FUN! Thanks Jesse!

- scoutenkBarcelona, Spain2 contributionsMy son and I really enjoyed our kayaking afternoon out of Jericho Ecomarine Paddlesports. We rented a tandem kayak and explored Burrard Inlet for a few hours - what an amazing way to experience the area with an ultimate ocean view also checking out Point Grey and the fantastic homes being built along the waterfront. The staff at Ecomarine were awesome, they had gear and equipment ready and helped us plan our afternoon with the changing weather as first time paddlers in the neighbourhood.Written September 1, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
