Reviews
This was an incredible tour! With just a single day on the island, it was the ideal way to explore. Noemi guided us to breathtaking caves, waterfalls, and rainforests. Her knowledge made the experience both personal and enjoyable. I highly recommend it.
I had a fantastic experience on this trip. Noemie is exceptionally knowledgeable and manages a highly professional operation. Every moment was enjoyable as we explored Hornby Caves, Cathedral Grove, and various Provincial Parks and waterfalls. We dined on a tasty picnic lunch from Qualicum Beach by Cameron Lake, which was included in the cost. If you're looking for a full day of eco-adventure, this tour is ideal. Noemie is both friendly and supportive, with a deep understanding of the local ecology and geology. This tour provides a great introduction to the area's natural attractions, helping visitors decide where they might want to visit again. One tip: sturdy, closed-toe shoes are essential since Hornby Caves management has strict rules against sandals, bags, and bulky pockets to protect the environment.
My complete North Island tour with Noemie was an incredible experience. We discovered hidden gems like the 'emerald' pools in Oyster River and Huson Caves, which stood out as the best parts of the trip. Noemie's expertise on local plants was a joy, and we even got to taste some berries along the way. She's great company and enjoys chatting during the tour. I strongly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to truly explore Vancouver Island.
Noemie is an excellent tour guide—engaging, enjoyable, and highly knowledgeable. She genuinely immerses herself in providing an outstanding nature tour and is able to answer all inquiries. Her deep understanding of the area and its wildlife is evident. Spending the day with her was a true pleasure; her passion for her work shines through, and she adapts to the unique preferences of the group, enhancing the overall experience.
Noemie is an enthusiastic and well-informed guide. We visited breathtaking beaches, a canyon waterfall, and ancient forests. It was a day I will always remember and I highly recommend it.
