Our Happy Visitors
I have booked Northwest Adventure Tours for numerous activities from their mountain biking, hiking to paddle boarding for all groups, kids, older adults, teenagers from complete beginners to advanced cyclists etc. They were able to adjust all their activities to suit what ever group I sent to them. No matter what the group or activity each group had the same positive feedback, they really enjoyed the activities and rated the guides 10 out of 10. They made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed and got even the most experienced/fearful group members involved.
I will be continuing to link with Northwest Adventure Tours in the future
