Hey there! I’m Brian, and I can't wait to introduce you to the stunning natural beauty of Vancouver and the surrounding Pacific Northwest. My passion for the outdoors is my profession. I’ve been guiding travellers for seven years and have worked in the backcountry of British Columbia for over a decade. I started my guiding career at the exclusive Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, where I honed my skills in providing exceptional, personalized service. I'm also educated in the local ecosystem, having obtained a Bachelor's of Environmental Science from British Columbia's top university, UBC. For the past three years, I’ve been successfully running my own tour company, specializing in immersive, high-quality private experiences. I truly believe this is the best part of the world, and I pride myself on sharing its history, ecology, and breathtaking views in a way that is friendly, informative, and memorable. I don’t just love sharing this place; I'm qualified to do so safely. I hold my (PT) License, possess numerous outdoor certifications, and have my own liability insurance, giving you peace of mind that you're in expert hands.

Explore the forest from a new perspective
Overview of your Vancouver tour
Designed for travelers seeking a truly rare and unforgettable experience, this one-of-a-kind excursion invites you to climb into the upper canopy of a magnificent coastal tree, reaching heights of up to 160 feet above the forest floor. From the top, enjoy spectacular views of ocean, mountains, and the city. Led by both a professional wilderness guide and a certified arborist, your private group ascends using ropes, harnesses, and modern tree-climbing equipment trusted by professionals worldwide. Choose your ascent: a self-powered climb for an active challenge, or a battery-powered rope ascender that lifts you effortlessly upward, no fitness or climbing experience required. Along the way, discover the hidden stories of Vancouver’s coastal rainforest in an intimate setting. See Vancouver from where almost no one else ever will - from within the canopy itself.
