Orca Tour

Russ and Anita, Golden, Colorado

We really enjoyed our Sea Kayak Day Tour, Quadra Explorer. Our guide, Jesse, was uncommonly knowledgeable of the area and wildlife, perhaps due to the fact he was born and raised in the area. We were also impressed with the quality of the equipment. It and the tasty lunch and snacks added to the days enjoyment. We hoped for a day that would be memorable for years to come and highlight our Canadian vacation. This tour exceeded our expectations in all aspects.

Last Saturday, we experienced an introduction to sea kayaking. We had heard of an open house held by Grey Wolf Expeditions at Saratoga Beach.

This was the start of a new business enterprise initiated and run by Jesse Haslehurst and Sandra Zgela.

From their summer base at Saratoga Beach, they will provide many kinds of tours and expeditions in kayaking, hiking and wilderness camping.

What made our visit with them so wonderful was the warm and genuine welcome by Sandra and Jesse.
In the orientation to our small group, before we took to the water in new kayaks, they generously shared their knowledge and expertise in kayaking, exploring and nature lore.

Their enthusiasm and passion for kayaking along this part of Vancouver Island made for an introduction in which we, even as novices, could feel safe and competent, with their guidance and support of course, to explore and learn about a most beautiful part of the world.

Thank you Sandra and Jesse! The opportunity you provide and how you provide it is a gift to us all.
