An enjoyable forest walk - Darwin was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He chose a couple of different forest walks with multiple different habitats /forest floor vegetation. It was a moderate hike but he will adjust to suit your abilities. An enjoyable experience and chance to learn about nature on the island. A**

I would do this hike again! - Our guide was very knowledgeable and paste the hike perfectly for us. The amount of time spent on the trail was just right. He allowed plenty of time for picture taking. He did not rush us.

Amazing hike and value! - This was an amazing hike with our own private tour guide who accompanied us throughout the hike as well as showing us some of the noteworthy sights along the drive. Darwin had great information about the local wild life and tree species, and was very accommodating to let us take photos and create great memories. He took us to the Hatley Castle, which was a treat. Overall a wonderful way to experience nature on the island and a highlight of our trip.

Fantastic private rainforest tour - Darwin is an excellent guide. He gave us choices and took the time to find out our interests before we started the hike. He was very informative during the hike and adjusted his pace to our capabilities. The rainforest was beautiful and peaceful. We got to do a second hike along the coast where we were lucky enough to pick wild blackberries and see seals. It was such a great trip, we plan to do another tour when we return to Victoria!

Great insight to the area - Booked this trip as only in Victoria for a day as part of a bigger trip, wanted to get the best from the area. Hugely accommodating when our other trip on the same day had to re- schedule and they still managed to fit us in. Alan met us at our hotel and took us to some lovely places, spoke well about the area and what we were seeing, a walk through the forest, another around a coastal area, 2 stunning local buildings, and soaring eagles. The sun was out, stunning scenery, a lovely afternoon, I think maybe we were expecting more of a hike and more ground covered, more wildlife etc. It was a very pleasant afternoon but just felt it could/would have been more but nothing actually negative about it, we are just used to walking more perhaps, therefore felt a bit of a stroll than a hike to us.
