I just wanted to let
you know that I had an incredible time
out in
Victoria! The two trips you set up for
me were a
blast, especially the Botanical Beach
hike along
the Juan de Fuca Trail. The rainforest
is truly
amazing. All and all it was a great time
and I
think I may find myself making a home
there in
the next few years.

Thanks for your help
in arranging my vacation to Vancouver
Island. It
was GREAT! The kayaking outfitter was
very
professional, their food was really
good, the
equipment excellent and their guide
fantastic. I
even enjoyed Victoria's city centre on a
rented
bicycle. Your hotel arrangements were
good. I
would really consider going back to
Pacific Rim
National Park again and maybe taking a
friend
with me. I will be checking your website
all
winter long as I remember a good trip.

The Yukon canoe trip
was great. The only problem was that it
ended
too soon. I look forward to doing
another trip
with you next year.
