Your Orca trip made me forget the "real world". Being woken up in the morning by the blow of Orcas is a wonderful experience. After years of whale watching and writing about the whales , this was the best trip I ever had. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our Orca Camp--Darren especially was very patient with our incompetent kayaking at the start, and he made sure that we enjoyed the trip. Great people, great food, and wonderful whales. My daughter Maddy just loved it and none of us wanted to leave. I've been telling all my friends. It's the best holiday I've had in years.

Bernard,
Gib Adams here; my girlfriend (Kristie Miles) and I recently took a tour with Steve and Brodie. I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how much we enjoyed the trip. In particular, both Brodie and Steve were fantastic.

I've done a number of these guided "adventure" vacations, and have really come to appreciate the importance of quality guide teams. These two are outstanding. Several qualities stand out. First, very well organized, and flexible.

The team know their business very very well: I think everyone got enough of what they came for, while I don't think any one individual was overly taxed. For instance, on a short paddle day, those of us that were interested in more "work" headed out with Brodie for an evening paddle, while the tired ones hung out at camp.

Second, sociable, intelligent and knowledgeable. Brodie's local knowledge (and patience in cheerfully answering the multitude of repetitive questions) was a great asset on the trip. Both Steve and Brodie were engaging, genuine, and humerous - not always true for guides, unfortunately!

Third, the meal plan was excellent - we were very impressed by the variation in the menu, and the quality of the ingredients - testement to Brodie's planning abilities. Both Brodie and Steve were excellent cooks, and always delivered timely and tasty stuff for the crew. We felt that the value of these skills cannot be underestimated. In short, a great trip, thanks to both guides.

Our expedition was a truly magical experience. We especially enjoyed watching the bears and the bald eagles, while the animals watched us. The huge purple starfish were incredible. We felt very well taken care of throughout our stay.

I want to say thank you for having provided me with a fantastic wilderness experience. I enjoyed myself greatly. With Brodie's excellent leadership and help I was educated, entertained, awed by beauty, relaxed and well fed. This trip was four stars in my book. I will spread the word to the Californians to sign up with Coastal Spirits for an excellent adventure. Thanks again.
Sincerely
Julianne Maier

Our experience with you was wonderful. You truly live in a beautiful place. The expeditions was great - a fantastic way to see close-up what the BC coast has to offer. We are anxiously awaiting the return of the bald eagles here in Kansas, and will fantasize that they are the same eagles we saw in British Columbia.
We have been encouraging everyone we know to consider a trip to your part of the world. We too, intend to return. Please keep us on your e-mail list. Thanks again for the wonderful time.
