Race Rocks Ecological Reserve Tours and Activities

Race Rocks Nature Reserve has a large colony of Sea Lions and seals. It's a rare place where you can see both Stellar and California Sea Lions at once. Strong currents make it a tough dive, but the dive is worth it once you meet up with one underwater!

We went for a boat ride on a beautiful September morning and came across this beauty sunning on the rocks! There were plenty of Sea Lions lounging on the rocks and wharf of Race Rocks. #wildlife
Smelly!

The staff were exemplary, housekeeping service was the best, the location and proximity to sky train station and Yaletown could not have been better, the restaurant and bar service was second to none This sounds very flowery, but it is actually true!!
