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.

Overview of your Vancouver tour

On this full day adventure, we'll drive along the Pacific Ocean, all the way up the Sea to Sky highway, past Whistler, into the mountain town of Pemberton. This highway is famous for a reason, and there's no better way to explore it than with a local guide like myself, to show you all the area's best-kept secrets. As we explore, we'll get to contemplate mountainous viewpoints & different waterfalls, including one of British Columbia's largest, visible even from the highway! This is an out-and-back trip, returning along the same route, but don't worry, as our change in direction will deluge us with new views and opportunities. While we'd be taking on different trails with varying accessibility, I guarantee that I'll be able to adapt this tour to meet all needs, so please let me know of your preferences and comfort level when walking.
