Paul is an excellent guide who provided such a fantastic experience with this adventure. He was extremely friendly, humorous, and considerate. We had a 4-year-old boy in our group, and he made the trip a blast for him. It was heartwarming to see how accommodating he was and how he could connect with everyone in our group. I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone visiting Vancouver and local!

Really great walk with amazing views. Paul is a very pleasant and funny person and an excellent guide!

Super Snowy- Great Guide

Colin_P, Dec 2025

Paul is the best tour guide for this activity! The weather was super windy & snowy however he was awesome at keeping everything running smoothly and fun. Due to the weather, my partner started to get super cold. Paul gladly offered his windbreaker to get her out of the cold to get warm quicker. He was so prepared with multiple warmer packs, hot chocolate & granola bars. As well he was super considerate to all skill levels out on the trail. Would 100% recommend!

Gorgeous scenery and...

Gorgeous scenery and great people! Paul worked with me to make a tour happen while I was here in Vancouver. Arman did an awesome job guiding our small group (2 people). Great conversation, good pacing and even a little exploring.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thanks for joining us on a winter snowshoe adventure Brenna! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! Regards, Paul

Rally great experience....

Paul_P, Feb 2025

Rally great experience. Arman was an excellent guide, very helpful and informative. We had a lot of fresh crisp snow and saw a Steller’s jay.

Great activity in a magical setting

Gilles_D, Jan 2025

The hike is a pleasant 4 miles in a magical setting with amazing views. Regardless of your physical abilities, you'll be made comfortable and allowed to hike at your own pace

Great for solo travel

Nancy_B, Jan 2025

Arman was an excellent guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable & fun leading to a really lovely & snowy hike up Cypress. I would highly recommend this for solo travelers or couples.

Tony_B, Jan 2025

Loved the walk and the hot chocolate. Beautiful sites when the sun came out. Must do again when there is fresh snow! Thanks Armand!

Arman was a great guide...

Ashlee_H, Jan 2025

Arman was a great guide through this experience. Unfortunately the snow wasn’t right for snowshoes but the hike using the microspikes was just as good. Great views at the top of the hike.

Amazing!! Coming from a Louisianan/Texan!

Crystal_S, Jan 2025

Loved it!! Tour guide very nice and helpful and assuring. I fell behind in the trail and he stayed behind to help me. Assuring me to keep at it —at my own pace. Also had a nice group I went with and had enjoyable conversations even though I was solo. The hot chocolate provided by tour guide was delicious and the views were very Beautiful and scenic. It was a new experience for me and I would very much do it again!!

An incredible morning spent snowshoeing!

Tom_P, Jan 2025

A great experience being guided along peaceful trails and through stunning scenery. Paul’s knowledge of the area and its natural history added so much depth to the adventure. It was a great way to connect with nature while learning something new. This was the highlight of our trip to Vancouver!

Experience of a lifetime

Kathryn_W, Dec 2024

What an amazing day! Surpassed our expectations. We went with our two boys (8 and 10) and they loved every minute. We had great conditions!! So much snow! As the conditions were great and the group was keen, we went off the beaten track - a true adventure! Not at any point did we feel unsafe in Paul’s very knowledgeable company! Our sons are used to hiking but I think most active 8-10year olds would love this experience!! 100pc recommend!

Super fun and flexible tour!

Lauren_P, Dec 2024

My mom and I had an incredibly fun time trying out snowshoeing, hiking through Lynn Park, and just getting driven around without having to worry about travel 😆 We originally booked the snowshoeing adventure tour, but since snowpack was unusually low this winter, we took the offered alternative tour with only a little snowshoeing in the morning and some other activities afterwards. I super appreciated the flexibility in our schedule and how it was up to group consensus whether we wanted to stay at an activity longer or go to the next one. In particular, my mom (who was the oldest in the group by at least a couple decades) felt very supported by our tour guide Arman. Arman helped ensure everyone felt safe and that no one was left behind. When my mom was worried she would slow the entire group down, he assured her that there was no rush and that “we either all stay together or we don’t go at all”. Arman also taught us so many new things about snow safety, the history of the parks, and ecology! Thanks for making our first trip in Canada so fun!

Amazing tour!

Leah_F, Dec 2024

This was an incredible experience. Well organized, fun, with kind staff in a great place. I had never snowshoed before and I was quick to learn with their help! I'm a solo lady traveler and I felt safe and comfortable!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thanks for joining us on the tour Hailey! We appreciate the kind words and for you to take the time to share your experience! I hope we meet again and enjoy your future travel plans to Europe. Thanks, Paul

Incredible snowshoeing experience!!

MariaJose_Q, Dec 2024

Paul was an amazing guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The hike was breathtaking, with stunning views and a serene atmosphere. We were treated to delicious hot chocolate, which was perfect for keeping us warm. Interacting with the birds was a unique and magical touch, and it was wonderful to connect with great people. A tip for future adventurers: make sure to bring proper footwear to fully enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable outdoor adventure!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you for the kind words Jacky! It was great to meet you and the family. I don't know what you are feeding that little 4 year old man with his boundless energy but keep it up! I have no doubt that he will be summitting big mountain peaks in the years to come! Thanks again, Paul

A faire absolument!

Alexandra_G, Mar 2025

Très agréable randonnée dans des sentiers enneigés. Le guide, Arman, nous donnait des informations pertinentes et intéressantes sur la nature et aussi sur la route pour se rendre. Les lieux étaient magnifiques.
