Discovery Islands Expedition: 5 day tour

 

The Tour

"I was blown away by the fact that such an extraordinary ecosystem and scenery was tucked away here between the mainland and Vancouver Island. I learned so much about Canada from the guides and other guests. I am heading back to Ohio feeling that I got to intimately experience an truly exceptional area by kayak and for that I am very privileged."

Simon Samson

 

"I will do this next year. I will think about it all year. The whole tour was…how do I describe it…exactly what I needed."

Philip St. Clair

 

"Vacations like the one I just had make being in an office five days a week and working hard for time off worth it. And that's saying a whole lot. I don't know how to impart what a superb time I had. It was what I have been trying to find in a holiday for 10 years."

Ramona Pleshnakov

 

"I now have a new passion. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had a fantastic kayaking trip. I just love saying it. I like to repeat to myself, I just went on a kayaking trip! I did it! I will be seeing you next year!"

Sally Poole

 

The Food

"I have to admit I was very worried about how the food was going to work out. I don't go out to eat often because I just find that I like how I do it better. I have now decided that the place where eating it most enjoyable is on one of your kayaking trips. Gastronomically, you could say I am overjoyed!"

Rick Salsbury

 

"We have worked hard over the last year to eat healthily. This trip inspired me to put some energy into eating well and into being creative about it. Thank you for taking such good care of me. Now when I order out I want to order food prepared by our Spirit of the West guides."

Christine MacDonald

 

"Mmmmm. The food made me think I had stepped into the latest Chatelaine magazine. It was wholesome and kept me fuelled and ready for more playing!"

Diane daSilva

 

"The food you fed me was the food that I would serve to a good friend. I loved it! And seeing the guides preparing what turned out to be a feast was also very comforting, like when I would hang out in the kitchen when I was a kid. So good!"

Dan McDougall

 

The Guides

"The guides were safe but not uptight, funny but didn't try too hard, knowledgable and never know-it-alls. I would call that exceptional."

Geoff and Sherry Laffreniere

 

"I hope I get to have Rick and Amy again next year. What a team. I can see how the guides could make or break a trip. I felt like I was with a bunch of friends, even though I didn't know a single person on this trip before. We just laughed, or paddled silently and enjoyed ourselves. Your guides made everyone feel connected. I had such a fantastic time. I will be going home and telling all of my friends about it."

Chelsea Tekel

 

"Our guides were so talented. I don't know how they know so much. How do they do it? I was blown away by their abilities and how much I enjoyed spending my vacation with them. I have been wow-ed."

Trevor MacFarlane

"Thank you for introducing me to such great people. Your guides kept me happy. And happy is how I want to be on my holiday."
