This was by far the best trip that we have done. Keegan was our guide & he was absolutely fantastic! This was my first time driving a left hand side vehicle so Keegan put our jeep behind his, very reassuring. You got to spend loads of time driving the Jeep & there were plenty of opportunities to change driver. The views & scenery were amazing, we did have extremely good weather. Keegan gave us loads of stops to take pictures. We then went & got onto the canoe. The lake was absolutely stunning, so beautiful & peaceful. Rowed across the lake where we were greeted with salmon pate, bread, crackers, hot chocolate & the most delicious clam chowder. We then took a short stroll through the forest. Rowed back to where we started & got on the coach back to the cruise ship. Excellent trip & well worth the money.

This was my favorite excursion. Our tour guide Keegan was AMAZING. He had many insights into the culture and nature facts. The landing was awesome. They fed us some salmon dip and chowder. Went on a little nature walk. Everything was wonderful and Keegan just made it so much better.

Friendly and knowledgeable guides, thrilling off roading, easy but fun canoe, and delicious clam chowder snack! Completely recommend. A lot of fun!

Kaitlin was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and very kind. The clam chowder was fantastic! The jeep ride was fun if you don’t typically four wheel, otherwise it was a little lackluster. Overall a good experience.

The trip was amazing! We went on some back roads and got some beautiful views. Then the lake we went to was beautiful! The water was clear and felt great! This experience was just awesome!!! Mckenzie, the guide, was fun to have and very factual!

This is a four hour experience. We travelled by motor coach to the lot where we were assigned a Jeep. We drove trough a few rough, and bumpy trails stopping to learn all about our location. We then boarded a sturdy canoe with our party of 20 for a paddle across a lake. We then had a quick, but wonderful lunch and nature hike before paddling back. Noah (our guide) was great! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy going. Shout out to Noah’s mom who he mentioned reads the reviews…your son is awesome! I recommend this tour, and hope you have as wonderful a time as we did.

The view at the top of the jeep drive was OK- but that's all! The canoe trip was poorly organised. We had to wait for 45 minutes at the lakeside before other people joined us. It was a short trip across the lake, and not fun at all. The nature walk was far too short, and the snacks extremely rudimentary. The jeep drive was extremely uncomfortable and not enjoyable at all, unless you were driving. Far too bumpy. Instructions on how to drive the vehicle were poor, and badly organised. My impression is that they were just "money making", trying to get as many tourists through as possible, with poor customer care. Don't go on this trip!!

Greatly enjoyed the Jeep/canoe tours. The back country was gorgeous! McKenzie & Nathan were awesome guides!

I can't say enough about how wonderful our guides Kenzie and Andi were! They handled more senior people with grace and made our adventure fun for everyone. We started out in jeeps, 2 -4 people in each, and went on back roads through lush vegetation. The road was hill and full of potholes, so we got our thrills. We then transferred to one big canoe. I was awarded the princess seat at the front since I was a solo traveler. Bonus! We all rowed pretty well together and got across the lake to our snack reward! Brooke was there waiting with homemade claim chowder, French bread with salmon spread or 'Marion Barry' spread (inside joke for those familiar with the major of DC in the 80s...really Marionberry jelly). We took a short walk through the forest where our guide pointed out interesting and unique vegetation. Then it was back to the canoe, then the jeeps, and sadly we were done. This is a great adventure for old and young adults. Not sure how appropriate it is for children.
