A perfect day with lots of stories, magic and great moments.
It was just Stuart and myself, and he made me feel at ease immediately. He took me to the most beautiful places, and I had a great time. Also, lunch was delicious. I truly enjoyed the day and highly recommend this experience!
I had a lovely tour with Stuart. I was the only guest and I appreciated that he still took me out. He is friendly and knows the area very well, so you’ll get a bunch of great views. Shannon Falls was a particular highlight for me. Also I mentioned ahead of time that I’m vegan and he brought me a vegan sandwich that his partner had made that morning.
Stuart possesses much knowledge about the BC forests, trees, ecosystems, nature. Stuart is a genuinely friendly person and provides great life advice, guidance and encouragement – the power of positive thinking, etc. Overall a wonderful experience to learn more about the health benefits of spending time in nature.
Stuart is a passionate person with a deep knowledge of the area and all the perfect spots. I had a great time seeing the best of Vancouver’s nature with him, I’m definitely going to repeat the next time I’m there.
I highly recommend this experience! It was me, my husband and my son. Stuart took us all the way to whistler, showing us beautiful places on the way and had amazing stories and knowledge. We learned a lot and had a great healing experience amongst the trees. He is a very positive person with a great sense of humour and made our whole experience very pleasant. The chai tea was unbelievable ! And the salmon sandwiches were also incredible and large! It was my first time visiting Vancouver and Stuart really helped make my overall experience amazing. Will be going back !
Absolutely amazing! Stuart is great and this was a fantastic experience. Would rate this a million stars if I could. Definitely recommend
We spent a nice day with Stuart, who took us to beautiful places and stunning views. Nice lunch and chai, lots of information and interesting talks.
We loved our day on this tour! Awesome experience of BC
Stuart picked us up in North Van and brought along hot Chai tea with salmon sandwiches for lunch. I did not need to worry about driving, maps or road detours as could enjoy the day. Our stops were Lighthouse Park, Whytecliff Park, Howe Sound, Porteau Cove where we saw sea lions, Shannon Falls, Squamish and Brackendale. His hikes were easy and happy, we were hiking and not just in car the entire day. Then, he gave us a short tour of North Van and recommended the sea bus for downtown visits, and back home. Wonderful day!! thank you
Wonderful nature experience to start a day with in Vancouver. The forest is lush, very soothing, an oasis where to the feel the power of the “now”. Stuart is a great guide while exploring the Mundy Trails, explaining the surroundings and philosophy about life. Thank you!
Spending the day seeing some of the most beautiful and natural places around Vancouver was an incredible experience. Having Stuart as our guide made it fun and magical. I would definitely recommend this day trip to anyone visiting or even living in the area. Hiking, magnificent views, stories and nature therapy, Stuart’s tour is absolutely delight.
This is a nature walk to allow you to enjoy Canadian spirit and sync yourself with nature
A good way to see the area with a knowledgeable host. Stuart will customize and has a great knowledge of the parks and history. even in the rain it was great.
Stuart gave my family and I a great day! He was thoughtful, made little customizations to accommodate us, had great primary and add on locations along the way, knew a lot about the forest, great conversationalist and very safe driver!
If you’re looking for a great place to get away and drown the noise inside your head and anxiety you feel, I recommend taking this tour! Stuart and his wife Sylvia were amazing. Not only could I breathe physically, but mentally as well. It was beautiful. The knowledge and history shared by Stuart and Sylvia was beautiful and insightful. I highly recommend, even if it’s for a once in a lifetime thing, or if you’d love to immerse yourself into nature!
