There's lots more where these came from

 

Thank you for such an incredible adventure. The guides were perfect, the food, the whales and more whales. First class from start to finish. See again next summer....... the guides said the Nuchatlitz is a must place to sea kayak.

John and Rita Parker, Sask. Canada

 

 

We just got back from our Vancouver Island vacation and we just had to write you. The trip we took with you on August 14 - 18 was the highlight of our honeymoon. Everything was just perfect, and thanks for the little gift you gave us, a very nice touch. Say hi to Rick and Breanne for us.

Lynne and Alan fosberg, Australia

 

I did not expect to see so many whales. Even if I did not see a single whale I still would have ranked this the best trip I have ever been on. The whales just toped it off.

Leslie Young, BC Canada

 

I can tell you run a very competent company with high values and integrity and fun. Very impressed. I've probably been on a dozen trips and this was one of the very best, and thats saying alot because I enjoyed them all. I'll definitely be back!

Peggy Woods, Montana USA

 

We have been on six camping kayaking tours and this rates as one of the best. The scenery and wildlife in the Nuchatlitz area are wonderful.

Lin and Brian Weich, BC Canada

 

You really showed us the true "Spirit of the West"! Your company portrays such proffessionalism, along with a genuine adoration for your wilderness environment. We are so grateful for what you have shared with us. Thank you!

I went on the mothership tour a couple of weeks ago and had the time of my life........
.......I told Greg that if they gave our number out for a reference that this would be a good and a bad thing. It would be good because we loved the trip and bad because we would never stop talking about it.

Bob Birch, USA


10+++ the whole experience was much more than Jim and I could have hoped for. Everything and everyone was more than perfect.

Lots and Lots and Lots of food! Watching Jolie make a chocolate layered cake on the camp fire was impressive.

Michael Vercaigne, Manitoba Canada

 

Hello,

A couple of weeks ago, our group went on a guided trip in The Nuchatlitz with your guides Liam and Steve. The trip was fantastic due, in no small part, to the guides.

The activities and pace of the trip were perfect for our group. Meals were delicious, and we particularly appreciated the way they made sure that they accommodated people's dietary preferences. Plus, it was such a pleasure hanging out with them for those 5 days. Everyone in our group had a wonderful time.

On a more embarrassing note... We ended up with one of your dry bags. Can you please tell me where to send it?

Thanks for coordinating a memorable trip for us.

Paul, Wa USA

 

John,

Just a quick note from Deborah and me about our trip with
Sheldon and Katie to Nuchatlitz. It was an awesome experience! Sure, it rained one night and the following day, but other than that we couldn't have asked for a more spectacular setting, with wonderful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides, and a fine group of companions from the other members of the group.

One particular paddle out and around Catala Island was one of the best days of paddling I have ever had. So thanks again for setting up a memorable trip. Hope to be joining with you again some day.
