Back again this year for a fantastic tour of the Gulf Islands. Our guide was very capable and accommodating of all our needs. The campgrounds and lunch stops chosen were beautiful. The food was fantastic. I highly recommend this trip for outdoor enthusiasts!

I had a wonderful experience with my rowing crew mates /friends. The food was delicious and very filling. Piper did an awesome job guiding and pointing out other islands as we were rowing to our campsites for the two nights. Great to meet your family and having our dinners with all of you .
