Voyager Quest was recommended to me by another company to complete my Duke of Edinburgh’s Adventurous Journey for my Gold Award. Huge thanks to Noah! Noah was a fantastic guide for the week, really funny and cool guy! He made sure the trip was fun and enjoyable, educating the group about new things along the way. He motivated everyone on portages, and made the more challenging and arduous aspects of the trip entertaining through his stories and facts.
Thanks to Emily and Lee for the AMAZING meals both at the Outfitter and out on trip, there was never a shortage of food!! Saw some moose out on trip (see photos) which was pretty cool! I would highly recommend Voyager Quest to anyone who loves the outdoors, or anyone visiting Canada and wants to experience what Canada is all about! Thank you for the amazing experience!! Natasha
Our boys (9 of them) returned today from their Gold Duke of Edinburgh adventure journey – they can’t stop talking about the incredible time they had. Thank you so much, Blake, for making this trip a life long memory for them. It has been such a tremendous experience for them. They have learnt so much – for some of them it was the first time canoeing and portaging.
They enjoyed the food, the outdoors, camping and all the new things you taught them Blake – thank you for your patience and giving them such an amazing time – they said you made the trip for them!Many thanks to Evan for a truly excellent trip, for his professionalism, expertise and endless good humour, and to Voyageur for making such a memorable and happy trip possible.
