Experiencing something new in a beautiful environment was challenging, invigorating, and fun. The other participants seemed equally invested. The guide, Lorenzo, was a patient teacher and good at his job.

Lorenzo was wonderful! He went above and beyond in guiding two very nervous senior citizens. Merci beaucoup!

We ended up on the snowshoeing excursion due to the limited snow conditions, but we had a fabulous time! Our guide - Gabrielle - was wonderful welcoming, knowledgeable and so much fun. The snacks brought were thoughtful and delicious and the whole experience was better than we had even imagined.

Beautiful national park with the most stunning views. Went in March and it was not too cold but there was still lots of snow. Our guide was lovely and informative. However, this activity was much more difficult and demanding than I expected. It is best suited for athletic individuals who are not afraid to fall a few times :)
