Customer reviews & ratings
We have just returned from the 9 day hiking tour. It was amazing and everything that we had hoped it would be! The trails, the camping and the meals were all wonderful! We loved our group of fellow hikers and our guides. The inflatable sleeping pads are just as comfortable as advertised. I slept well! Marianne and Arthur went above and beyond to be sure every detail was perfect! They worked well together as a team. The choice of hikes and their care and concern for each of us was exemplary. The delicious meals definitely deserve a second mention as both Marianne and Arthur created wonderful dishes. Marianne left no curious questions unanswered. There were a couple of open edges that I was uncomfortable with, but Arthur was encouraging and supportive, and made sure I felt safe. His daily bear jokes added to our van rides and I'm sure his repertoire will grow. Thank you!
Sandy May, 2025 VerifiedThis was my fave holiday EVER! I came back feeling strong, fit, healthy, and very happy! The hikes were fantastic - challenging and picturesque. The progress through the trip was great and I was delighted to complete the Cory Pass hike at the end of the trip, knowing how much fitter I was. Jafar and Kev were awesome guides. They fed us very well, made us feel safe (bears in camp!) and were super encouraging. And great fun too. Our fellow travellers were also fantastic, we made some lifelong friends. I feel I’ve been spoilt for any future group hiking trips! 😁 We would definitely travel with fresh adventures again 🙌🏻
