"Didn't get the invoice on Quadra Island so if you mailed a copy to my home
address that will be fine.
The Trip was unbelievalble, had a brilliant time and was all I expected and
more. The guides Matt and Sam were both excellent, thought I would let you
know. "

Cheers

I just wanted to give you some feedback for our 4 day expedition 17-20 July (Guide: Dougal Allan).

I had an astoundingly good time and I put this down to the guide. Dougal's an enthusiastic, cheerful, accommodating, knowledgeable and unbelievably polite guide and we had loads of fun. Though shy, the orcas showed up in a big way on day three and the bioluminescence during the night paddle was especially magical. It wouldn't be overstating the case to say that this was one of the most memorable trips I've ever had: I'd certainly recommend you guys to friends.

I'll be out in BC again soon!

Best wishes,

Andy

Dear Jim
I´m writing to thank you for the very nice trip we enjoyed with your company in Johnson Strait this summer.
We have now been home working for a couple of months, but we still talk about our stay with you as one of the absolute highlights of our 4 weeks journey to BC and Alberta.
We enjoyed our trip tremendously, the landscape was magnificent, the guides Robin and Laureen were sweet, skilled and helpful and the fun we had in the group was fabulous.
Being a dietitian, I was particularly surprised over the way you managed to prepare the meals with regards to both variation, good taste and healthy nutrition.
In every serving we had the possibility to combine our meals with wholegrain, fresh fruit and vegetables.

The grilled whole salmon was a genuine treat one of the first nights of the trip and even after 4 days in the wilderness, we still experienced the food as fresh and with wide variation.

The guests who preferred sweet treats were never disappointed and those of us who look for fiber and vitamins had ours needs fulfilled as well.
We hope that we will have the possibility to visit you again.

Best wishes and kind regards
Jesper and Vibeke Denmark

We wanted to thank you for a spectacular holiday. We all had a fantastic time. Our guide Gabriel was great, the food delicious and the setting was so special.  Please let Gabe know that we had a great time. The straight is such an incredible place, and our family will always look back to the trip and feel so fortunate to have experienced it in such a special way. I actually felt sorry for the boat based tours, as I think they missed out on the close proximity that we had to nature. It is not everyday that my 14 year son can get up and feed the anemones before breakfast or take video of a eagle eating on the beach. Thank you so much.

Editors Note: The following is from a group that decided to name themselves and the guide after the whales they had seen. Hence the "A8" and A3" you will see mentioned in the letter.

A8... just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful kayaking trip...looking back on the photos I know I needed your calm presence while the Orcas were coming so close to us.  The food was also terrific , I know that I can do more than bacon/eggs and smokies when I camp in the future...my husband and I are looking at buying kayaks...I think plastic is the way to go as they are very bangable......I hope to get the family out next August and will certainly give you a call to guide us about if it comes to fruition....Thanks again...you are a wonderful guide...very knowledgeable and close to the spirits of the forefathers.. your respect for the wilderness and god's creatures is endearing....Sincerely,,,A3

Hi Jim,

We just wanted to thank you again for a great experience. It gave us a chance to try something a little more adventuresome than what we would ever have attempted alone, given our limited skill set, experience and confidence.

Thanks for taking the time to explain lots about what we were seeing (and sometimes didn't see) and for all of the great food. I know that Gay had a great time chatting with you about everything under the sun.

Best of everything to you and yours,

Gabriel and Gay

I just wanted to tell you that we had a fabulous time on our Kayak adventure.  It was more than we had ever expected, the food was great and thank you for the change in the first meal for my husband (he’s the one that didn’t like salmon).  We made two great friends from the trip and have wonderful memories to last us a life time.  This trip out of all the trips I have taken has educated me in areas I thought I already knew about, like they say you can always learn more, and I did! Jim, you were wonderful, your knowledge of the environment, your respect for wildlife and the land around you is unrivaled. I could not stop talking about my experience; I would talk to anyone, so this is how you have all these Ohio people wanting to use Out For Adventure.
 Thank you again for a wonderful time, I made the right decision in picking your company from the host of other companies I found on my web search.
Yours Sincerely,
Rita & Tom Lookabaugh

Thank you for such a delightful trip. Your experience and expertise were so very helpful. We truly had a wonderful time..."
Karen, Cayucos, CA

"Hi Jim
Lee and I had a great time with your guide Robyn. She was a real inspiration and we wished we had spent another week with you and not spent it in a beach lodge. We would have got much more out of that experience i am sure.
We loved our Canadian experience with Orcas.

Must dash for now but will put my fingers to the keyboard when I have unpacked and have a little more time.

Thanks agains for our adventure and please pass our regards to Robyn"
