Thank you Alan for a lovely trip. We really enjoyed our day out from Victoria. You were very knowledgeable and enhanced our experience a great deal. We loved learning about the Cathedral Grove trees.
It was fantastic the way you flexed our day to also include the Kinsol Trestle; we really appreciated it and it was a highlight of Vancouver Island for us. We also greatly enjoyed the falls x 2 and the visit to Coombs. Great fun.
Thank you also for the great company and relaxed approach to the day. You had such patience and goodwill explaining things to us.

We truly enjoyed our day visiting the beautiful forests of Vancouver Island. Alan is a wonderful guide, and made sure we were always comfortable. His easy manner and deep knowledge made for a wonderful day. The hikes through the woods were relatively easy, even for 68 year-olds like ourselves. The waterfalls and magnificent trees were breathtaking. I highly recommend this trip for those wanting to get out of Victoria to see more of what Vancouver Island has to offer.

Our family of four from Australia was staying in Victoria for a few days and we were keen to see as much as we could of the local area. As we didn't have a car during our trip we booked two private tours as well as airport transfers with Surfside Adventure Tours.
As a way to see as much as possible in a limited time it was great. Without this tour we would have found it very difficult to get far out of Victoria itself.
Alan was punctual, lovely to chat with, and very accommodating, tailoring the tours to our interests. He also ensured that our group always had fresh water, raincoats and umbrellas as required.
On this particular tour we particularly enjoyed the stop at Coombs. The market was far more fascinating than I'd imagined. I'd love to return when the goats are on the roof next time!
