What people love about Pacific Northwest Tours for Seniors
- 7 Day Vancouver Island Camping Adventure
I just came back from the 8 Day Vancouver Island trip. All in all a wonderful experience, a truly unique and awe inspiring adventure - don't book this if you want the luxury of preening 4 times a day but do go if you want a 5* experience, if you want to see loads of different animals, amazing scenery, feel dwarfed by 250 foot (75 m) trees, pause as a bear strolls in front of the van, paddle to a waterfall in a canoe, jump in to sparkling lakes, watch whales, seals, sea lions in their natural habitat and generally learn more about this fascinating part of the world. Alex's professionalism should be commended, the organisation was faultless and the food was exemplary, most of all he went over and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time. I would strongly recommend this tour, especially to those looking for an escape to nature.
- Vancouver Island Premium Tour
Great small group tour. There were 13 of us on a very comfortable small bus with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the views. Our guide, Olly, was truly amazing. Knowledgeable, calm and capable and ever-ready to be of assistance.
- British Columbia Ski Tour 11 Days
We had a fantastic 11 days with our guide, Alex, and eight other like-minded skiers on the Powder Highway in B.C, Canada. Alex did a great job in making our trip so memorable - his enthusiasm and passion for his business really came across and his organisation of all the trips, meals and travel arrangements was impeccable. This took all the stress and need for planning out of our holiday so we could simply relax and enjoy it. We would definitely recommend Fresh Adventures, and will be keeping an eye out to see what other trips Alex has planned that we can join in the future.
