I've had the pleasure of working with Andrew at Kingfisher Wilderness Adventures since 2005. Together we have developed new expeditionary sea kayaking trips to the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii. Having guided since 1996 and worked for many of the sea kayaking companies on the coast, I can say with certainty that Andrew runs one of the most professional operations on the coast. In all areas - risk management, client care, employee training, and environmental /cultural stewardship, Andrew strives to the highest standard possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Andrew in any situation, be it as a provider of a first class wilderness experience, as a employer, or as a business contact.
