“I want to you to know that I had a fabulous time on the Nootka trip (incredible weather, good food, great company, awesome scenery and wildlife, lots of swimming, the list could go on!) but top at the list were the guides. They were excellent “facilitators” and I would recommend your company and that destination anytime.”

Rose, Vancouver BC, Nootka 2008

“Thank you for organizing a marvelous tour to Vargas Island. We were very impressed with our excellent guides.”

Cam, Gabriola Island BC, Clayoquot 2008

“Just wanted to say thanks for the great trip to Clayoquot Sound! It was a wonderful trip, awesome weather, great guides, good people, and beautiful scenery. I really enjoyed paddling and that trip got me hooked!”

Mark, Edmonton AB, Clayoquot

“I wanted to thank you for a great time this past week.  I know that the weather was not that cooperative but the tarps and the fire made it much more livable!  Thanks so much for spending time with my Nephew.  He really enjoyed learning from you guys and loved being on the trip.  Happy paddling for the rest of the season, and hopefully we will be out with you again next year!” Kelly, Calgary AB Clayoquot Vargas 2008

“How can I thank you and tell you how much my son enjoyed his trip!! He had an amazing time and he really liked you guys. I cannot thank you enough for taking the extra time that you did with him and paddling with him, honestly that was so great of you. He was so happy the other night telling us every little detail and was so grateful to you and everyone for giving him this awesome experience. I didn't fully understand the extent of the trip and was amazed to see (he showed us the whole trip on google earth) what you all did. We were all green with envy. We will recommend your company to anyone who wants to sea kayak, and don't be surprised if you see all of my boys next summer. They are dreaming up plans already, my husband loves this kind of thing, it is a little too much for me, but they will love it. I am sure that with your sincere care and concern for your clients and your great personality that you will have incredible success. We are so grateful for all that you did to teach and take care of our son, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”     Natalie, Calgary AB, Clayoquot 2008

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.”
Ernest Hemingway

“I stumbled over this quote late last night and it seemed a fitting to bring it to my note of thanks to (almost) everyone on the trip into the Broken Group.  I've had a hell of a year, but those five days of paddling, exploring, learning, imbibing, feasting, not feasting, and – for the love of Dodd – laughing, laughing, laughing have reset me back to a size Yeti.  So, as continent-scale slabs of skin slide off of my rubbery shoulders and the memories slip away like a seaside-sheisse, I offer my greatest lesson: Stay longer .Truly… you guys are wonders. Thanks, and ever thanks.”  Melissa, Stratord ON, Broken Group 2008
