My mom and I came in to Victoria, BC in late June with the intent of exploring Port Renfrew (“Renny” to the locals). Day Trip Drea was booked to be our host on a number of guided hikes. She was not only a fantastic guide who knew some truly breathtaking places to hike, she was a charming and friendly person who helped direct us to our best possible experience in Canada. We both had a lot of fun and really recommend her trip to Sombrio Beach, Avatar, and other local beauties. She brought a wonderful homemade lunch (no white bread with cold cuts to be found here, folks!) to our adventures and went at our own pace. We loved our trip to BC and it’s all due to Drea! If you love animals, be sure to ask her to bring her two lovely dogs, Sage and Nootka, along for your hike!

Thanks u for the great time at Sombrio Beach the view where breathtaking and the history was. My fiancé and I had a blast. We will definitely booked another trip with you next year. And thanks u for the recommendation to try wild mountain the food was fantastic and delicious and the view was beautiful
My friend and I had such an amazing two day-trips with Drea, seeing century-old cedars, rivers, Sombreo beach, and a remote waterfall in a cave. Her precious dog, Sage, accompanied us. Drea is delightful, thoughtful, considerate, fun and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her as a hiking guide. She tailored our trips to fit our needs and preferences, and immediately felt like an easy friend! On a score of 1 to 10, 10 being best, I give her a 15! So skilled and pleasant, she made each day trip the most fun adventure!!
Oh, Drea…What a wonderful two days of hiking and exploring with you and your loyal dog Sage. The first day at Sombrio Beach was amazing. Who would know one could be on a typical Vancouver Island beach, then follow a streamlet from the beach up to a stunning waterfall. The second day to the Avatar, to hike down through a “primeval” forest, where nothing seemed to be touched, and God’s perfect creation was left to be in its pristine state…just breathtaking. We loved talking with you and also hearing the wonderful tidbits of knowledge that only a local resident could possibly know. You were a delight, and we also loved your sweet “bear” Sage. If we are fortunate enough to get to come here again, we shall look forward to hiking with you again!
Drea, Ryan and I want to say thank you so much for taking us out on the day hike. The scenery was breathtaking, you made us feel like we were hiking with a friend and the lunch was fantastic! We defiantly recommend people to come see you on their honeymoon as it is a day we will never forget!We hope to come see you again for our 1 year anniversary!

What an adventure! I felt like a kid again as we crouched under centuries old trees while exploring the seemingly forgotten trailS in the back country. It was no wonder why our small group kept referencing movie sets when it came to the scenery and terain. It was such a good trip and you are the perfect host/guide. Thank you for your professionalism and enthusiasm. It really helped set the tone and atmosphere for which we all were able to feed off of. I will be back next year!!
Drea took 4 middle age folks on a big tree tour last week. We really wanted to see the largest Douglas firs and cedars.She totally listened to us and took us on a fantastic day trip. We were so grateful for her competence in managing the logging roads in her 4 wheel drive vehicle. She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her tour company. We will absolutely go out with her again the next time we are in Pt Renfrew! 5 star experience!
Drea was a real pleasure to spend the day with for my wife Karen and I. We took the East Sooke tour with Drea and Otis. She is a great guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. Had a great time and conversations.
Drea took us to Port Renfrew ao see the awesome trees, and the results of so much logging. What else can we say about Drea’s day trip other than agree with the others who have given such positive feedback? She was an inspirational guide, knowledgeable and thoughtful. We had our daughter and 2 grandchildren with us and she is great with children as well. We learnt so much and although she didn’t push her values and life choices, these shone through: a woman who lives what she believes is right. We loved her sustainable approach to the environment and her unassuming way; her gentle and intelligent dog Odie and her beautiful old Dodge Ram with its pristine blue interior and such comfortable chairs: especially welcome when navigating potholed tracks. As Drea said, it is so important to get the most from the things we own. Mend and adapt rather than throw them away. As others have said, things you throw away doesn’t just magically disappear. They go to landfill, an incinerator or litter the land or ocean.
Not to forget the importance of doing all we can to preserve the relatively few ancient forests we still have and to stop those who would destroy them for short term profit!
Thank you, Drea. Keep up your great work!
