I love the beauty and serenity of Haida Gwaii, which the most wonderful captain and crew helped us sample and appreciate. A true connection with nature at its purest. Thanks to all on the Maple Leaf who made it happen – and to my fellow guests who were delightful. And the food – magnifique!

HAIDA GWAII ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME! If you want to rejuvenate your spirit, share wonderful daily adventures with like-minded new friends, and be treated like family by a crew who obviously respect one another and the incredible environment they interpret with such knowledge and passion, this is the trip for you!

Truly magical! This trip was as fabulous as I had hoped. The crew; always smiling, always considerate, always a great sense of humour.

The Maple Leaf staff worked together in perfect synchrony with the wonders of nature for an incomparable trip. A slight touch of rain during a morning early in the trip set us up to appreciate the sunny weather to follow...
-Greg Lahine, Baltimore, MD
Thanks for the best vacation ever.

This is my fifth trip on this boat. The environment on the ship was so good. Greg’s presentations were so good. The picnic day was outstanding. Hope to be back again next year.
-Bill Badger, Edmonton, AB
Another wonderful trip on the Maple Leaf. Once again, the people, as well as nature, were great! This is always the most difficult part of the trip, saying Goodbye. Already planning the next journey.

‘Wild and wooly’ within a pristine wilderness. Pushing life to the limit. The best of days from sunrise to sunset. Thank you for the opportunity to rejuvenate our spirits. Merci from two Victorians and ex-Montrealers.

Wow – Had heard rumours the North West corner of Vancouver Island was pretty wild and it lived up to expectations and more. Great to see a remote area of B.C. Congrats to Kevin, Maureen, Alison and Christina for making it a great, great journey.
-Lennox McNeely, Whistler, B.C.
Kevin and I have waited and anticipated long and hard for this trip – but never imagined the natural wonders we would see – we were blessed with incredible weather, scenery, wildlife (in abundance), stories, adventures, sun-set wine and cheese on a beautiful rock “beach”. We both so enjoyed Jackie’s stories and knowledge about the whales and orcas and her passion for her subjects was infectious. Billy and Yvonne in Echo (hard to read) were treasures, in their own right. Thank you to our consummate crew for your joyful, unselfish service and for thinking of our needs even before we could. Captain Kevin – you are the consummate host…so kind and knowledgeable and thoughtful. James – you are so creative and generous with your craft. Thank you for your always smiling thoughtfulness and care… and Ashley, I am going to adopt you! God – it was so marvelous, thank you all!
