Paddle the Bow River in Banff National Park on an easy 90-minute canoe tour with mountain views, local stories, wildlife chances, and lemonade.

“Our tour and tour guide, Brie, were both amazing! The tour was well run, and on time. We were given an orientation on critters that live in the area along with safety guidelines and instructions on the proper way to hold a canoe paddle and how to paddle once we were in the water. The canoe ride itself was smooth with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Brie was informative, entertaining and educational. She spoke in a loud clear voice, so we could all hear her very well. She provided many fun facts of the local wildlife and mountain life and made suggestions of places to include in our itinerary.…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 264 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $105

Swim and kayak near harbor seals at Pam Rocks on a five-hour Vancouver boat tour with gear, guides, snacks, and Howe Sound views.

“Amazing experience! We went out on the boat on a sunny day. Stopped at two different seal colonies. The guides were very respectful and showed us how to behave in the water. Not too close to the seals with a good distance and they might come to us by curiosity. Some were curious and played with our fins whilst some of them just swam in the water. It was amazing to see them in their natural habitat. Snacks were provided as well and the guides answered all the questions we had. It really was an amazing experience”
