Who We Are
Based out of Nelson, British Columbia, we offer year round Guiding and Transportation services in the West Kootenay Region of Southern British Columbia, Canada and beyond. We also offer a wide range of adventures and transportation options in many other locations across Western Canada and NW United States.
We strive on personal, small-scale tours with a maximum of 10 guests, with a focus on local interpretation of flora, fauna and attractions as well as promoting other local tours in the area(s). We stop at local artisans and cafes to introduce guests to local food, services and goods and will help encourage our guests to embrace the local culture. We operate out of an 11 passenger shuttle van named ‘Gloria’ with lots of room for gear and big scenic window that help you take in the beautiful views.
