Description
Snorkel in the stunning Howe Sound and kayak by the Pam Rocks seal colony on a boat tour from Vancouver. Enjoy light refreshments and snacks on board as you head back to shore.
Experience a true West Coast adventure just minutes from Vancouver on this exciting 5-hour excursion. Snorkel in the stunning Howe Sound, then head toward the Pam Rocks seal colony for a glance at these gorgeous sea creatures. Slip into a wet suit and strap on some snorkel gear for a dip in the sea. For those who prefer to stay in the boat, there's also a 'sightseeing only' option. All snorkeling equipment, refreshments, and light snacks are included.
Make your way to the expedition center in Horseshoe Bay, where you board the boat for your adventure on the water. Set off to the North, traveling to Howe Sound's Pam Rocks, home to the resident seal colony.
Snap photos of the harbor seals sunning themselves on the rocks and moving effortlessly through the water. Harbor seals can grow up to six feet (1.8 meters) in length and are known to be docile and curious.
Don a provided wet suit and snorkel gear, then slip into the water and watch the seals from a respectful distance under the supervision of your snorkel guide. Chances are, the seals may want to check out their visitors; you and your group follow their lead and your guide ensures your safety. Kayakers climb into their boats and float nearby; the seals may bob along the surface next to the kayaks or swim playfully underneath. Switch between kayaking and snorkeling, or simply stay on the boat and watch the show. No snorkeling or kayaking experience is necessary.
This excursion includes snacks, hot soup, and cold drinks, all of which can be enjoyed while cruising back to Horseshoe Bay, admiring ocean and mountain scenery of Howe Sound.
Your tour ends up back at your departure point in Horseshoe Bay.
