At Spirit of the West Adventures, we recognize that mindful travel is essential when it comes to considering what style of trip to participate in.
We believe that who you choose to book with can be one of the most integral elements of being a responsible traveller. Supporting reputable, ethical and local operators means you are contributing to an ecotourism experience you can feel good about!
When you choose to travel with Spirit of the West, you are supporting a small, family-owned Canadian company who has been a proud member of 1% For The Planet since 2007, has collectively donated over $143,000 over the years to non-profit organizations devoted to protecting BC’s west coast, and is certified Biosphere Sustainable; meaning we have demonstrated action and commitment to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
