Gary - you are a STAR! You went above and beyond to make sure we got the experience of a lifetime. We were very lucky to see humpback whales multiple times, a few dolphins and porpoises, tons of sea lions, some bald eagles and sea birds. We also enjoyed seeing fjords and amazing whirlpools. We will definitely book another trip the next time we are in Quadra Island- maybe the Grizzly tour? Thank you, Gary, for the memories... also, the lunch was great!…

Gary and Cheyenne our experienced tour guides were extremely knowledgeable about the wilderness areas we were going to join Grizzly Bears in their natural habitat. It was obvious to see how much they respected these magnificent creatures and they advised us how to act respectfully and responsibly. Safe travels lead to our destination which was a life time dream come true. Professionally scouting for the Grizzlies led to many phenomenal sightings which led to photographs and memories that will last a lifetime! I highly recommend this very special Grizzly Bear Watching Tour. YOU WILL BE AMAZED IN WAYS YOU DIDN'T IMAGINE POSSIBLE!!! Chris Parlow aka Manitowan…

Awesome day full of wildlife. Started with several humpbacks on the 2 hour trip through magnificent fjords/inlets to the salmon stream where Grizzly bears feed.Saw 4 transient orcas on the way and Garry stopped to appreciate the whale views even though long trip to bear feeding area. Lots of great stories/educational info en route from his vast experience growing up on the water in the area.Met Bennie-First Nation guide at the bear site. Taken to the bear viewing areas by the salmon streams. Saw several bears from the viewing platforms. These are grizzly bears in the wild and utmost caution and respect is demonstrated while viewing.We were within 10-20 ' of bears at times. All in all an amazing tour unlike any other I have been on. The boat is comfortable with 4 benches for 2 on one side and 2 benches for 2 on other. Full safety equipment and safety orientation. Garry has been on the water for many years and takes safety very seriously.There is a head on board if needed.I just got home yesterday and already want to go back!! Conditions on the water vary and we had a sunny day with no wind which was awesome. Nature does what it does but we had great success in viewing...thanks Garry and Benny for an amazing encounter!! So nice to see the humpbacks making their return!!…

Had a great time out with Garry from Aboriginal Journeys recently! It was an amazing bucket list experience. We saw 9 orcas (2 different families) that we watched for quite a while and saw a humpback who also did his special tail flip for us. Garry really knows his stuff and is very respectful of these beautiful creatures. We will definitely use this company again when we’re back in the area.…
