TESTIMONIALS

TALES FROM OUR EXPEDITIONS

Spirit of the West Adventures’ Whales and Wilderness Glamping trip was amazing. Everything about it exceeded my expectations. We saw Orcas and Humpbacks each day we were on the water. The camp itself is beautiful and views spectacular. The 3 guides were so knowledgable about the area, native islanders, and whale life. Our meals were exquisite and beautifully executed. The staff seemed to love what they do and shared their enthusiasm with us. Incredible experience all around. Highly recommend.

Nancy Johnston – Whales & Wilderness

My sister and I had an amazing trip with Spirit of the West. We went on the 5 night Nuchatlitz expedition. Every part of this trip was top notch. Booking the trip was easy and the office staff were fast to answer questions. The pre-trip video and information was excellent. Our guides were fabulous, friendly, fun, kind and so knowledgeable. The equipment was great. The food was so yummy and really healthy. I highly recommend Spirit of the West. This was my 4th trip with them and I hope to go on a few more.
