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

Snorkel, kayak, or watch harbor seals at Pam Rocks on a five-hour Vancouver boat adventure from Horseshoe Bay.

“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”
