“Adrian was a fantastic guide , the hike was amazing ( a bit challenging on those stairs!) but all in all a great day ! Thanks Adrian !”
Vancouver rainforest waterfall hike with a suspension bridge, small-group guide, and hotel pickup. 9 km, about 4 hours, $62.
“Omg! A must if you like hiking. Adrian was our guide and the communication immediately was perfect. He picked us up directly at our hotel where we joined 3 other people. He drove us to the trail which was about 45 minutes away. The trail was beautiful with us picking huckleberries directly from the bushes and eating them along the way. The hike takes you up about 300 stairs along the way to the chilly water and waterfalls. I’d definitely do this again”
A 7-hour Vancouver photo hike mixing old-growth forests, Stanley Park classics, Granville Island lunch, and night Gastown plus English Bay sunset.
“This tour was excellent!! I was solo on this tour and he did not cancel like most would do. Nafees was very knowledgeable about the city and the areas we hiked. Also he was very fun to talk too!! The nature hike and photography was my favorite part. Light hiking in nature and there are lots of stairs but it was nice to see a different part of the city than just downtown. Took some excellent pictures and Nafees showed me pictures settings on my IPhone that I had no idea it had. Highly recommend booking!!”

Hike Vancouver’s Grouse Grind, ride the gondola down, then cross Lynn Canyon suspension bridge and see Twin Falls on a 7-hour tour.
“What can I say about this experience? For one, I highly recommend it! I bought this tour to challenge myself with the Grouse Grind, but I was also nervous about how well I would accept the challenge. I had no need to worry because with Aramesh as my guide, I was set! He was so attentive, encouraging and patient with me the whole way up. I felt so amazing coming out at the top. That was the best feeling! And throughout the entire day’s worth of activities, he found a way to share interesting tidbits about the area, whether it was discovering more about the local indigenous communities to the…”

“Melissa – Incredible Hiking Guide I had the pleasure of hiking with Melissa as my guide, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very start, she was incredibly patient and attentive, always following my pace and making sure I felt comfortable throughout the journey. As someone who isn’t a pro hiker, I truly appreciated the helpful footing tips she shared along the way. Her guidance made tricky sections feel manageable and safe. Beyond her expertise, what really stood out was her ability to motivate and encourage me when I needed it most. Thanks to Melissa’s support and positive energy, this hike turned into a truly memorable…”
