In Search of Whoopers

“We have had a wonderful time in Saskatoon & thank you for all the planning! Gabriel has been a super guide & we loved his enthusiasm for what he does!” 
 
 
"Excellent.Very knowledgeable guide and stimulating group to be with."
 


"[Gabriel Foley was] knowledge of how and where to find birds was outstanding. Also, we were able to see other local wildlife (muskrat,coyote, deer (mule and white-tailed) and elk). I felt that he listened well and was interested in each of the participants. Was very adept at making everyone feel comfortable and created a relaxed group atmosphere.
 
 

"As a new birder, I learned a tremendous amount."

Gros Morne, Newfoundland with Wendy O’Brien

 
"History, geography and people - tour was a learning experience in all areas."



"Tour very well organized and very good leadership - local staffing also excellent."


"They possess a wealth of knowledge and skill and are personable, energetic guides."


"The trip was lived fully and experiential."
