5.00Noemie is a cheery and knowledgeable guide. We explored spectacular beaches, a canyon waterfall and old growth forest. A truly memorable day. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Wonderful day, well worth the money

5.00This was a rich and wonderful day. Noemie is highly knowledgeable and she runs a very professional operation. I enjoyed every minute as we journeyed to Hornby Caves, Cathedral Grove, and lovely Provincial Parks and waterfalls along the way. We stopped in Qualicum Beach to pick up a delicious lunch (included in the price) and our small group (Noemie + 3 of us) ate it as a picnic by Cameron Lake. If you want to pack in a world of eco-adventure into one day, this is the trip for you! Noemie is friendly and helpful, and she is strongly informed about local ecology and geology. I also think this tour is helpful for giving visitors a taste of the local natural highlights, so they get a sense of the lay of the land and what they might want to return to if they have more time. Just a quick word of advice: fully closed shoes are a must (no hiking sandals) since the folks managing the Hornby Caves are very strict (no bags, no backpacks, no bulky pockets) and absolutely rigid about footwear in order to protect the precious resource.
Excellent Experience!

5.00Noemie is a natural tour guide - friendly, fun and very informative! She really throws herself into giving you the best possible nature tour and can answer any question you ask. She clearly has a profound knowledge of the area and its wildlife. It was an absolute joy to join her for the day - she clearly loves what she does and is quick to cater to the individual style of the group, which allows for an even better and personalized experience!
Such a wonderful experience!

5.00Such a wonderful tour! We only had 1 full day on the island and this was the perfect tour. Noemi took us to see some amazing caves, waterfalls and Rainforests. She was very knowledgeable and made the experience very personal and comfortable! 100% recommend!
Hidden gems with an expert local guide - the only way to see the island!

5.00I had the best time with my complete North Island tour with Noemie! We explored hidden gems like the 'emerald' pools in Oyster River and Huson Caves, which were absolute highlights. Noemie's knowledge of local flora (and tasting berries along the way) was an such a delight! Also, she’s just super to hang-out with and loves to have a chat while we were on tour. I highly recommend the tour for anyone looking to properly explore Vancouver island 😀
