The Active West Coast Canada trip has exceeded my expectations. Of all the places visited, I am very pleased to learn a lot about British Columbia by learning about some of the history in Victoria, seeing nature and wildlife, dining, how to camp, serving and helping one another and shopping like a local.

I was very happy with my experience! The main reason I chose to travel with G Adventures was so that I would feel safe as a solo traveler and that is exactly how I felt (especially while hiking). My CEO was very responsible so I never felt stressed about the organization of anything which made the trip feel more like a vacation. I would definitely recommend it for people who are looking for these things in a trip!
