Sail from Granville Island on an open-air catamaran for orcas, humpbacks, dolphins, sea views, and expert marine-life stories.
“Our naturalist Julia was excellent and super knowledgeable. I loved learning about humpback whale behaviours and how to identify them as we tracked the 3 we found during the excursion. I also loved seeing the harbour seals and learning about other marine wildlife like sea otters even though we didn't see them on our trip. I wish we could have stayed out in the northern sound longer to track them but acknowledge that our naturalist and captain tried their best. Overall an excellent experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat and will be recommending Wild Whales to all my friends, family and colleagues.”
Taste Granville Island’s best local foods, meet passionate vendors, and learn Vancouver’s food story on a generous two-hour guided market tour.
“Excellent foodie tour led by Manuella. Very knowledgeable and vivacious. Delicious tastings and a valuable introduction to the food market. It is very large and would be daunting without a guide. Only one minor helpful piece of feedback. Would be good to have a coffee break and sit down earlier in the tour as it does become quite tiring for us older folk.”
Granville Island food tour review: five tastings, a cocktail, local stories, skyline views, and practical advice on value, pace, and booking.
“We do a food tour in just about every city we visit and this one could have potentially been great but it wasn’t. Tour was scheduled for three hours but lasted 90 minutes. Our guide Eve was pleasant but lackluster. She didn’t provide any real information—most guides share some history of the area and point out landmarks and she didn’t provide any. We started with a big sweet donut first and had a lobster roll last which was backwards! . She didn’t offer mocktails to the non drinkers. Food was very good but very short lackluster tour.”
