Guest Comments - Haida Gwaii / Queen Charlotte Islands
 
"It was truly the most amazing trip of my life, and a real gift to see the secluded islands from a comfy boat with all the paper work (and etc) looked after, and knowledgeable people to share their long experience. I have no idea how they managed the good weather, but they did that too!"
- Wendy Mitchell, B.C.

"A wonderful, gratifying, satisfying trip. So much more than I could have hoped for."
- Eric O'Higgins, B.C.

"What an experience! The wildlife encounters were very exciting as the animals appeared sometimes as if on cue! The crew was outstanding. Kevin's talents are truly impressive. Bristol was most impressive as an asset to be referred to frequently. I enjoyed the stories from the other visitors. It was a memorable week and I look forward to further Maple Leaf experiences." - Bill Badger, Edmonton, AB

"I'll be back. With even more friends."
- Sarah Richardson, United Kingdom

"Just wanted you to know how rich and replenishing (sprit-body-mind) my five days were sailing with you...I greatly anticipate another opportunity to travel to Alaska and the Charlottes [Haida Gwaii]."
- Betty Anne Smith, British Columbia

"Judy and I felt it was the best vacation we ever had. The Charlottes reached into our souls and touched us deeply."
- G. Gardiner, Toronto

"Whales, whales and more whales. I can still feel the totems in my bones."
- Chantelle Tucker, British Columbia

"Surrounded by the rugged beauty of growth and decay. Cared for and kept safe by the professionalism, competence, kindness, knowledge and patience (and sense of humour) of captain and crew - I return nourished in body and soul. With thanks, respect, appreciation and love."
- Judith Peavey, Victoria, BC

"Thanks Kevin, Paul, Sherry, Sean, Steve for the great trip. Enjoyed it all. Thanks for having all the whales gather on our second to last day! You know it is a great trip when the book you bring to read stays at the bottom of your suitcase. I enjoyed it all but must go on deck and take another photo!!"
- BJ McElroy, Calgary, AB

"Each day surpassed the wonderful experiences of the previous day: from Tanu, Windy Bay, a variety of beaches, the hike on Cape St. James, SGang Gwaay, Burnaby Narrows, bear, humpbacks, dolphins, beautiful weather, sailing, awesome meals...Thank you captain and crew! "
- Barb and Ken Davidson, Kelowna, BC
