Customer Reviews
Aug 2023 - Torsten E.
Great Tour with a great guide. Our guide asked what we want to see and then we were brought to all places we wanted to visit. One of the highlights was the rainforest with waterfalls in it and the beach. And the Totem-Park was great also.

Heidi our guide was great! She took us to all the places we wanted to see. Her knowledge of the area and enthusiasm sharing totem pole lore was a welcome surprise.
