The equipment I rented worked out great. The sleeping bag and sleeping pad were both light weight and compact but at the same time exactly what I needed. The tent was perfect too. Just the right size for the two of us and easy to set up and down. Going north to south was great too. Getting that long drive over with at the beginning and also a couple of the longer days right at the start was good. The meals were excellent. Thanks for your hard..

I just returned from the 7-day West Coast Trail hike with BCA Tours. Wow - epic trip along 75 km of pristine Vancouver Island coastline. Danny and Len guided our 8 person crew with skill and professionalism. Talia prepared delicious, nutritious and lightweight food for the trek. The BCA team made this easy and fun for our group of hikers that had relatively little experience with such long and remote hikes. They thought of every contingency w..

I recently travelled with Irie on the West Coast trail and can not say enough good things about my experience. The food was great and the guides were incredibly knowledgeable and helped me make it through the 75km hike with a smile on my face. I still felt independent carrying my own tent and gear, but it helped to have the guides carry the pots, stove and our garbage for us throughout the trek. I will never forget this experience and highly ..

Thank you so much!! The tour was really good, and it really took a load off to know that all the prep work was done and that we had people leading us who knew the trail like the back of their hand (or the cat's meow, hehe!). My only concern was that I didn’t feel there was enough protein, especially at supper time. The snacks were awesome, especially the protein bars, but as a larger woman, I found that I was still hungry, even with my own sn..

Just recently came back home from the WCT with Irie Adventure Tours and it was a phenomenal experience that everyone should try out. The WCT has been something I've been wanting to do for quite some time and Danny and the rest of the Irie guides were absolutely solid. Irie Adventure Tours handles all the annoying logistic items (i.e., park passes, permits, transportation, meals, etc) therefore allowing you to remain in your element, and hike ..

The Westcoast Trail, with all its mystery, challenges and dangers has always an adventure we wanted to do. When we signed on with Irie Adventure Tours to undertake this challenge we didn’t know what to expect, being that we typically plan and hike without guides. From the minute they picked us up in Victoria at our Hotel as strangers, to the final heart felt goodbyes as Friends, we felt safe with Irie Adventure Tours. The knowledge and p..

Danny and Jessica, thank you for such a wonderful life altering experience. I have no idea how I would have done this journey without your support and guidance! There is a lot of thought and preparation that goes into the hike and I truly appreciate all that you have done. The bonus is that I did not have to fire up the stove to cook after a long days hike or figure out the tide cycles! It was truly a benefit that you knew the ins and outs of..

Irie Adventure Tours offers the perfect mix of small business personality and big enterprise professionalism.

The Irie West Coast Trail experience lets you take advantage of Iri..

I submitted a review to Trip Advisor as well. Not being an avid hiker or camper I likely would not have planned the WCT without IRIE. The experience down to the smallest detail both on and off the trail really made the completing the WCT possible for me. Like many people of there ( I know at least 20) we read about, hear about and dream about hiking the WCT. Many people are simply overwhelmed, and Danny and IRIE removed that fear and complica..

We've just come back from the WCT and it was truly a great experience! Danny and the Irie team looked after us so well with great help and advice before and during the hike! The food was great, the pace was perfect and the choice of spots to set up camp simply perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending a tour with Irie Tours to anybody! A great way to experience the great outdoors with people who really love what they do!..

The WCT for most people is a once in a lifetime experience. Therefore it is very important to remember this journey with joyful memories of a safe cruise through the challenging and inspirational trails of this path. This is a great opportunity to learn how to respect nature and visit first nations' territory through the trail. Danny and his team not only guided the group safely through challenging trails but also treated all of the grou..

It was truly an amazing experience! Danny, Ryan and Julian were all very professional and knowledgeable and I appreciated their sense of humor. I always felt safe and secure even when challenging myself. This was a very physical and mentally challenging experience that I was able to complete successfully with their assistance. I would also like to thank Talia for the food (those granola bars were “da bomb”) and for all of the work she di..
