Fantastic experience. Our guide (scottish!) was very friendly and explained quite well all the medicinal plants in the area. Very peaceful.
Picturesque site; well-versed guide. Well-run tour with comfortable bus ride and tea at the end. Just what I wanted.
Had a lovely time on the snow shoe tour with Ilona. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the area , the trees and the history of the trail. It snowed during our tour and it was magical snow shoeing thru the forest. I don’t ski so always looking for activities to do while the rest of my family are on the slopes. It was great way to spend my afternoon. Would definitely do it again if I am back in Whistler.
Excellent guide- fun and not too difficult even for a beginner- still challenging enough to get some exercise in.
Forest bathing with a tour guide who knew every detail of the environment, was a beautiful way to slow down the pace, and truly be one with nature. The smells, sounds and sights were all spectacular. A beautiful way to spend our last day in Whistler!! Thanks Melanie for sharing your wisdom, expertise and energy with us!!
Amazing experience. We had Ilona as our guide who was super friendly, extremely helpful and accommodating, and knowledgeable about various types of trees. Highly recommended. Will try other tours with Canadian Wilderness Adventures next time in Whistler.
Great way to spend a few hours. Easy hike along groomed trails. Learned about the flora and fauna of the old growth forest. Catherine is a fantastic guide

Canadian Wilderness Adventures are a great company with a very friendly team. The trip was very well organised, exactly as described, and our guide, Emma, was a delight. She was very well informed and paced the trek well for the abilities of the group.
Excellent tour! We were fortunate to get snow the night before and during the tour which made it magical. A good workout and beautiful scenery. Our guide Catherine was informative about the nature and First Nation culture
