Very knowledgeable guide and great snowshoeing walk

Published on Nov, 2024

This was my first time snowshoeing and Nafees was amazing! His knowledge of the area made the tour even more enjoyable and I felt like I learned so much within a few hours! He also brought me to a secluded spot with a beautiful view of a waterfall! There was no one around which made it even better! The giant trees around were also spectacular! I haven’t seen this contrast between snow and green tall trees anywhere else in the world. Really beautiful! Highly recommend this tour! Thanks so much Nafees!

Amazing Hike!

Published on Sep, 2024

This was my husband's second time doing this hike with Nafees as he was so impressed with him as a guide when he first did it two years ago, so when we were planning a vacation to Vancouver with some friends, he wanted us to have the great experience that he had had. Nafees did not disappoint. From ensuring that we were prepared with everything we needed to know ahead of time and what to bring with us the day of, Nafees's communication was great. Picked us up from our Airbnb, took us to get food to take on the hike as we ate lunch at the top, was a wealth of interesting information about the history of the area, which made the drive to and from Vancouver fly by, and on the hike itself he gave great tips on how to best approach the various stages of the hike as well as tips on taking amazing pictures. I can't say enough about how gorgeous and impressive the views were, and because of Nafees's detailed knowledge of this hike, he made sure that we didn't miss a singe amazing site or view, and took lots of pictures of us along the way. We are not inexperienced with hiking, but have found that having a guide for more challenging hikes almost always makes for an even better experience than doing it on our own. This time was no exception and we were happy to have booked with him. We all very much enjoyed everything about the day, and if we return, will absolutely schedule another hike with Nafees.

Great guide, great views. Totally worth it!

Published on Aug, 2024

We aren’t regular hikers and this hike is definitely a challenging one (if not, the most challenging we’ve ever done). If it wasn’t for Nafees, we would’ve definitely turned around so many times. He was so calm, reassuring, and patient with us. He showed us many hiking tips and tricks and entertained us with lots of Vancouver facts and photo tips. The best part of any hike is usually the view at the top and this one was totally worth it! But there were also many great views just on the way to the top. Nafees was an excellent guide and extremely accommodating with our pick up/drop off locations (saved us an extra Uber ride). This was a very memorable part of our Vancouver trip.

The Chief through an iPhone.

Published on Aug, 2024

*** Highly recommend *** I'm a local who wanted to learn more about iPhone photography while adventuring and this did not disappoint. Nafees was clear about the expectations of the hike, provided tips on how to navigate different terrain, and made lots of stops to ensure we were comfortable & hydrated. The photography tips along the way were great - lighting, depth, angles, portrait, wide lens, contrast and tricks specifically for iPhones. He took pictures of the group and allowed us to practice on each other.

We hiked the Chief!

Published on Jul, 2024

Outstanding day…stunning vistas and a very strenuous and somewhat technical hike. Rafees was truly excellent and very experienced. My son and I really enjoyed the entire day.
