Better than I imagined! It was fun, just the right level of adventure, challenge, relaxation. Would do it again in a heartbeat, thank you for everything

It was an amazing experience. We camped on Rum and Portland Islands and had less some inclement weather that produced some wave action. We saw orcas and seals. Carling, our guide was very diligent in ensuring our safety, while at the same time encouraging to "play in the waves" in more sheltered wavy areas. She is very strong, an excellent camper and a competitive Farkle player. The food was delivered each evening by Julien / Katie / children and was plentiful and delicious! They ate and hung our with us Each morning, they showed up and collected our gear to move to our next destination. I hope to go again!

A magical three-day journey on the water around Pender Island. We explored the coastline in the best possible way, by rowing, close to the elements yet fully supported. Julien and Katie were fantastic guides: deeply knowledgeable, confident, and experienced. You feel safe, challenged in the right ways, and clearly in the best hands. The timing and distances were perfectly coordinated, with thoughtful routes that balanced effort and relaxation. The food was delicious, fresh, and exactly what you want after a day on the water. This trip is a fun and empowering way to spend three days outdoors. The pace lets you truly take in the scenery, connect with the rhythms of the coast, and enjoy great company. I left feeling energized, skilled, and grateful. Highly recommend.

I did the Pender Island tour for the second time and had an amazing experience (again). Rowing through the Gulf Islands was beautiful, with wildlife, remote beaches, and lots of fun. The equipment, organization, and accommodation were excellent. Julien and Katie led the tour with great enthusiasm and are super knowledgeable about the area, which made it even more special. Highly recommended!

Absolutely wonderful Julien, Katie, and Carling! It was so great to get back to D'Arcy Island. I have absolutely nothing to add to improve the trip. Our guide, the route, the food, the crew ....all excellent. And we had waves!
