“An exhilarating ride to see gorgeous scenery and quaint Bowen Island. Simon's enthusiasm for his job amd love for the environment and history of the region is contagious. The boat, The Pearl, skipped along the top of the waves at high speed and necessary shock-absorbing seats. This is a GREAT outing for anyone who loves fast boats and the most beautiful scenery in the world. If you don't like boats or would have trouble with a bouncy ride, this might not be for you. I loved it!”
