This was really excellent. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and really brought the forest to life with her explanations. Seeing the first nation petroglyphs a real highlight for me. She was very good at communicating before and during the experience and very health and safety aware. Many thanks from Chris and Gill

Such a wonderful tour! We only had 1 full day on the island and this was the perfect tour. Noemi took us to see some amazing caves, waterfalls and Rainforests. She was very knowledgeable and made the experience very personal and comfortable! 100% recommend!

I had the best time with my complete North Island tour with Noemie! We explored hidden gems like the ’emerald’ pools in Oyster River and Huson Caves, which were absolute highlights. Noemie’s knowledge of local flora (and tasting berries along the way) was an such a delight!

Also, she’s just super to hang-out with and loves to have a chat while we were on tour. I highly recommend the tour for anyone looking to properly explore Vancouver island 😀

An amazing education and learning experience. So busy absorbing a small bit of the knowledge that Noemie shared I didn’t get pictures. An opportunity not to be missed.

We loved our tour with Noémie! Our group consisted of 7 people (ages 11-64) and we were all able to enjoy the walk through nature. Noémie was very engaging and offered lots of fun facts along the way! This old growth forest was beautiful and offered quite a bit of protection from the rain (which was nice). I would definitely recommend this outing if you are in the area!
