February 5, 2022 Sheron Bogner

World class skiing, decadent European style cuisine, ornamental cathedrals, peaceful island life…Canada is a patchwork of thriving cities and majestic wilderness. Montreal beckons travelers with its French charm and booming cultural landscape. In Toronto, the Art Gallery of Ontario is a vision of Frank Gehry architecture and national artistic treasures. The gleaming mountain ranges of Banff set a stunning backdrop for an exploration of the Canadian Rockies.

Oh I wish I lived in Mahone Bay to partake in their shop life...a group of local ladies were sitting comfortably & having a great time knitting/chatting. The owner couldnt have been nicer...immediately asked if I needed help and took me right over to the local NS yarns. Love to purchase locally produced products when travelling. Have a Yarn had the best selection of the 4 (lol)yarn shops I visited in NS. Couldnt resist her cute store project bag either. Knitters: be sure to stop.

We had an absolutely amazing time here. A little cold through the night as the fire burnt out twice!! The cabin was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Quaint accommodations. I learned a little about myself and I’m manifesting big things!!

Phil took 6 of us on a wonderful half day tour of the County! We live in the County ( and had two couples visiting who have been here before) so it added a challenge to Phil planning his itinerary for us. We wanted the truly off the beaten path tour, and Phil delivered!!! We visited a wonderful, interesting ( off the beaten path) artist in his studio, saw snow volcanoes, held baby goats, picked up fresh eggs and honey, enjoyed cheese, chocolate and one wine stop. Travelled beautiful roads with Phil adding just the right amount of commentary. It was a thoughtful, well-planned excursion and we highly recommend Phil, who added depth and dimension for our guests while allowing us to relax and enjoy new experiences too. Thank you Phil!!!

My spouse and I travel quite a bit to rock climb. If we're in a new place, we like to hire a guide to show us around to the best spots so that we can save time and learn new skills. In this case, we were so happy we did. Lyle was the best guide we've ever had and we've had lots! He was incredibly knowledgeable about each route we did and was very in tune with what me and my partner were looking for in terms of our skill level. We had him with us for two separate days. Throughout that time, he gave us an interesting run down of the area, the history, and the flora/fauna. He had great stories about certain climbs in the bluffs that you would never get out of a guide book. He even spent extra time with us on our last day as we weren't quite ready to quit and he thought we should try another route that he thought we would enjoy. All in all, I feel like I walked away with lots of new skills and more confidence in my overall ability. In terms of the booking process, it was great. There was a fire in the summer that had closed the bluffs. Russ was excellent at communicating with us about the closure, about refunds if the bluffs did not reopen, and then again about the bluffs re-opening so that we could go on our planned trips. Skaha Rock Adventures certainly went beyond my expectations to create a very memorable trip.

My 2 teenage boys thoroughly enjoyed carving their inukshuk soapstone souvenirs with John as an alternative Apres ski activity. My inukshuk was an opal inspiration with Chris. Thanks guys.
