The trip was an extraordinary experience in a relatively unknown and unspoiled paradise. The crew were an outstanding team that made the adventure a true delight on every level from education to gastronomic. Thank you for sharing the Great Bear Rainforest and your love for it with us. May you have many happy travels.

This was my third trip with Maple Leaf and each one has been better than the one before. Close encounters with bears (grizzly and black), wolves, eagles, sea lions, and whales. And what about the food! Fresh crab and halibut, from sea to stove in a matter of hours, plus the marvel of Rafe's culinary services. Add to that a crew for whom nothing was too much trouble, and you have an experience of a lifetime. Bravo, all!

We spent 9 nights aboard M V Swell. It was an unforgettable experience. Ship was very roomy & comfortable. Meals exceptional, crew friendly & knowledgeable. Bears, whales, orcas, even a Spirit Bear.We took out 11 year old Grandson who will have life long memories of the total Swell experience. Highly recommend.

Usually our vacation experiences are oriented towards one of us.
This is the first trip where both of us have had such great pleasure.
