Business
Hello Adam,
I am sorry that I did not meet you when we were up at Desolation Sound. I wanted to thank you and your staff for their help and courtesy. We were able to park in your area for a very reasonable fee and partake of your information. We also had the opportunity to cross paths with one of your groups by Otter Island and witness their diligence to the customer as they rushed to claim the hidden camping site.  Fortunately for us we were camped elsewhere. It appears that many know of your business and all spoke very highly of it. Looking at some of your competitors equipment it appears that you are far in front. We will certainly pass the work on about your business. Thank you again and best wishes.

Hi Adam
Just wanted to thank you for the great advice on campsites and back eddies. The campsite made the trip, great location and setup. Your advice on using the back eddies made the trip up the channel not only easy but fun and challenging as well.
Thanks again,
- Chris Nightingale.
Adam,
Gord and I rented boats and gear from you for the week of Sept 24-27 and we just wanted to say what a fantastic time we had. You were all locked up when we departed on the 27th so we were not able to properly say goodbye. We hope that the boats and all gear were safely found where we left them outside the storage shed. I don't know if the weather is usually so good at that time of year, but we had gorgeous temperatures and near glass like water the whole time. Only one afternoon of any kind of wind! We stayed two nights in Galley Bay at the campsite on the island. The one day we paddled to Tenedous Bay and it was lovely. I had no idea how much fun it would be just to poke along the shoreline and look at the jellyfish, starfish, and crabs. We also had many elusive seals spying on us! There was hardly anyone else around - we saw a few sailboats and probably 7 or so other kayakers but that was it! We couldn't believe our good fortune, especially since we have spent so many weekends getting snowed on in the mountains this year.
Also wanted to let you know that we loved the kayaks and were impressed with
the quality and condition of all the rental gear. You guys have a great
set-up there.
Good luck with your renovations for winter.
Sincerely,
Jenny Earle and Gord Gilbertson

Multi-Day Tours
We were on the 4 day Desolation Sound Tour last week and want to say that it was great!
Stephane and Rhonda are excellent guides - they shared their knowledge and made us feel comfortable and safe, while challenging us.
Not to mention the food. Lots of kayak operators say their food is gourmet, but that usually means just that the ingredients are fresh (as opposed to dried or canned). That's fine. But Stephane's meals were over the top. We have eaten in many restaurants that can't compare. The guy can cook!
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Hi Adam,
I just wanted to let you know we had an incredible trip - even if the rain
poured on us on Wednesday, July 12th.
Rhonda and Angus were great guides - knowledgeable, interesting, friendly and
very skilled at kayaking. Rhonda is an excellent cook - the food she turned
out was quite impressive.
A highlight for us was the evening paddle to see the bioluminescence - it
was quite spectacular - especially because it was raining and each rain drop
produced a sparkle.
Thanks.
Diane and Brian
To the crew at PRSK:
Many thanks to you all for a wonderful trip in Desolation August 2-5.
To Elke - for taking good care of my car and for being so helpful and kind.
And Stephane the man for spoiling me with good care and exceptional meals.
Adam, you are fortunate to have such good people working for you.
You have a 1st class company and I won't hesitate to recommend you.
Best wishes,
Lani.

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the photos, they are great. We have some good ones that hopefully I will have on disc by the end of the week and will send you a copy.
Thanks again to you and Stephan for such a fabulous trip. As always you provided us with not only with a wonderfully outdoor experience, but the opportunity to let our hair down and really have lots of fun and laughs. (Something we have a hard time doing!, as you can imagine).
Tell Stephan that he definitely made the grade and Arianna is lucky to have him. The meals were delicious.
Looking forward to next years adventure.
Cheers
Anne
Hi Carl,
Thanks again for a wonderful four days. We can't stop talking about how much fun we had. You were a great guide and a wonderful cook. I just wrote Ginny and suggested that she and I become guides too, our jobs are "for the birds" (an England expression you might not understand). All that wonderful fresh air, the peace and quiet, good sleeps, exercise and no phones ringing, no kids to taxi around -- it was truly a great holiday. We hope you have a great summer and thanks again for providing such a beautiful experience.
Wishing you all the best,
- Patty and Kirby Holkestad

Just a note to say thanks again for the great trip. We especially enjoyed your post tour companionship/commentary, it was also quite enjoyable.

Hi Adam...here are some photos of our time with PRSK...We seem to have lost Karl's email address...so could you forward them on to him too...Thanks! We loved our time with PRSK and Desolation sound!

"Never being on a kayak tour much less a multi-day tour, I was not sure what to expect. The first five minutes at the Powell River Sea Kayak base put my mind at ease;  their reputation as experienced, seasoned, and safe professionals is well earned. You will find the owner, Adam Vallance, is very friendly and knowledgeable of not only kayaking, but of the area's history as well. The guides were very experienced, safe, professional, and humorous. I am still trying to decide what the most memorable part of the tour was, the mouth-watering food cooked by the guides, Christine and Johnny, or being so close to incredible scenery. If you are looking for a very memorable adventure, I would highly recommend booking a tour with Powell River Sea Kayak. "

Hello Adam!
Back home in Berlin again,we would like to say you that we have had a great time on our kayak trip to Desolation Sound. But we are not quiet sure if we had booked a fantastic scenic tour or a four star gourmet trip. And our guides Christine and Carl are they really "wilderness guides" or chefs de cuisine in holiday? Nevertheless it was simply great and we are looking forward to make our next trip with you next year. Please give our best regards to Christine and Carl.
