Good option for a tour - This is a great way to check out Vancouver from a different perspective. The trip to Indian arm is beautiful. The falls, both Granite and Silver are pretty but reliant on snow melt. Captain Zach has good local knowledge (his Mum should be proud). Dress warm or wear the suit provided. It can get a bit cool as you zip along. Do recommend that you have sunscreen as you are out for 3hrs.

Amazing - Knowledable guides. We had some spontaneous interactions with nature, such as an eagle swooping down and grabbing a fish out of the water right in front of us.
