Murray, BC

"Thank you for such warm hospitality. I’ve never had a vacation where every detail was attended to."
Lisa, Ontario

"We have never seen a boat so well cared for and restored. A true pleasure. We have never been guided so competently and patiently through verdant virginal terrain. We have never parked next to a fog bank at the seeming edge of the universe and had the glassy sea burst forth with the cacophony of porpoise pods on the hunt for breakfast! We have only been honoured once before by the majesty of the Orca and the Humpbacks. We will treasure all the seals, sea-lions, eagles, birdlife and they will renew our resolve for the caring for the planet.
We have never had such nourishing lunches, dinners ad breakfasts, Surely we have never had a scone fashioned by Farlyn burst forth with flavour. Lastly, a true pleasure to be with you as a family being nourished, educated, pampered in such a companionable way.
For all of this and much more we are grateful and in awe with affection and respect."
Bob and Verna, Maryland

It was the BEST yet. Can only use superlatives in describing this wonderful experience, and it’s all been said before. You four are the BEST! Thank-you."
Pat, Pender Island. 2007, 2008, 2009

Anne and Doug, BC

"Truly an amazing adventure! Each day brought a new wonder: orcas, bears, dolphins, tidal creatures. Fern’s gourmet kitchen is unequaled by any land lubber’s bistro. But of all the many gems, the best was the warm welcome into your talented family of adventurous souls. May the wind always rise to fill your sails."
Stephen and Sandy, Chicago

"Spectacular,
Rugged,
Uncrowded,
Untouched,
Untapped,
Unforgettable.
Words used to describe the magnificent Great Bear Rainforest. Some could also be applied to the beautiful mothership and her caring, competent, professional stewards and crew. You four made this a truly unforgettable experience for us all. It truly was a trip pf a lifetime. From the grizzlies to the humpbacks, the Spirit Bear to the hot springs, paddling in the rain to that spectacular star show last night. Your music, your enthusiasm, your knowledge, your skill, your wit - all enhanced our enjoyment of these ten days and allowed us to step out of that "real" world into this almost dream world. It’s been a trip! Thank-you. Our warmest wishes for continued success on the Columbia III."

-Broughton Archipelago / Johnstone Strait Kayak Tour-

"I will arise and go now
And go to the Mothership.
With a wee cozy cabin
With bed and porthole there.
With crew skilled and ardent too and live with them
On the ocean blue.
And I shall have some peace there.
For peace comes soaring down,
soaring on the wings of the eagles
To where proud islands stand.
There days are all a glimmer
With food and sights galore.
And evening
Fresh fish to catch tonight.
I will arise and go now,
for always night and day
I found there laughter, kinship
midst dolphins off the bow
And as kayaks floated
Past sea stars, whales, plum rose.
I hear it
In my deep heart's core."
Andy and Linda Ontario (with apologies to "The Lake Isle of Innistree")

"A week that was so full it expanded to a month. Remarkable sharing of friendship, music, laughter, nature and more laughter."
Bob and Karen, Ontario

"Thank you all for such an amazing journey! Your hospitality, humour, knowledge and kindness made this trip an amazing adventure to remember. I will never forget the amazing humpback and dolphin 'shows', the beach walks and, of course, fabulous meals! Let me know when the Columbia III cook book comes out. Hope to see you all again in the Great Bear Rainforest."
Janet, BC

"Thank-you Ross and crew! This has been a great experience for me. This is my first organized trip. I can say that from the boat right through the food, crew and kayaks, you are "1st Class!" I will be recommending your services to friends. Thanks."
Keith, Montana

"An amazing trip with wonderful wildlife and scenery. Thank you so much for your knowledge, patience, great sense of humour, even Ross's puns!! Hope to see you next year in the Great Bear Rainforest."
Niamh, Ireland. 2008 and rebooked for 2009

"A journey to remember and cherish. We expected great paddling in spectacular scenery and perhaps a glimpse of orca ... little did we know! Humpbacks, orcas, bears ... Thank you for making this available! Safe sailings for the coming decades!"
Anna-Leena & Matti, Finland

"A magical trip of a lifetime!!! Thank-you for changing our lives."
Donna and James, BC

"Thank you so much to the Campbells and Hyatts. The Columbia III experience was beyond all expectations - the boat, the food, the scenery, the kayaking. All quite secondary to the opportunity to join your family for a few very special days on the high seas. Hope to see you again soon!!"
Brad, BC

-Great Bear Rainforest Kayak Tour-

"A surly skipper, an unhelpful crew, inedible food, and unfriendly fellow passengers! Thankfully this was far removed from the truth. Reality was a truly memorable and thoroughly enjoyable trip. Many thanks to Ross, Fern, Miray and Luke for the excellent hospitality to make this feel more like a visit to best friends rather than a first encounter with new people. Not to mention the fantastic scenery, unforgettable experiences, food to die for, and much, much more than we are able to write here. I suspect we will be keen to return."
Steve, Anne, Stephen, and Carey, England 2008 and rebooked for 2009

"Once again, thank-you very much for the nice time we have had. We enjoyed very much the hospitality, the healthy meals, the paddling, the nature and the wildlife. It was great!"
Heidrun and Bernd, Germany

"My first trip to the Great Bear was in 1998 as a graduate student, and I remember with vivid detail the encounter with my first "Great Bear".
This trip was different. I travelled in the company of friends, explored infrequently visited areas and was miraculously transported from inlet to inlet aboard the Columbia III.
Of course, seeing the bears was once more thrilling and magical. But the trip was truly made memorable by the crew of the Columbia III. Professional, hospitable, kind and fun, they helped us see this place during the day and entertained us at night.
I am eternally grateful for another amazing trip to the Great Bear - impossible without the Columbia III. Safe Sailing."
Sanjayan California. Head scientist, The Nature Conservancy

"To the crew of the Columbia III,
My profound thanks and gratitude for a second adventure into the Great Bear Rainforest. Equally as impressive as last year's!
Your enthusiasm, gracious care of us and seemingly endless knowledge make these ten days fly by. It is a bitter sweet day heading back to Bella Bella this morning, but the wonderful memories of shared good times will resonate in the months ahead.
Until we meet again . . ."
Pat, BC 2007, 2008 & 2009

"So . . . Columbia III and the family that is your crew - Thank-you for taking care of all the many aspects of the voyage so well that I was able to simply rush off without concern and experience completely the adventures of the Great Bear Rainforest.
This trip truly "strikes a cord" with my need to have adventures and challenge, and be spoiled rotten!! A very decadent, exciting, fun voyage on an historic ship that I'd love to do again."
Barb, Ontario

"We had a magical week, with great paddling matched with weather. The Rainforest is a place to love, cherish and preserve. Our four stewards we what made the trip even more special. Fern's meals were fit for paddling royalty. Ross's expertise guided us day and night in a calm, respectful manner. Our next generation is in good hands with Luke and Miray as guides, companions, just wonderful, knowledgeable people. We hope to join you again soon."
Paul & Grace, Washington

"In search of the Spirit Bear . . . Memories
Majestic fiords
Forest mists
Quiet inlets
Rushing streams
Eagles soaring
Salmon spawning
Whales breaching
Sea otters cavorting
Grizzlies prowling
Black bears falling of logs
The swish of paddles
Sun diamonds on water
Green sea anemones
Ross at the helm
Fern's kindness
Miray knitting
Luke's smile
Ross's stories
Luke's gumboots
Miray's wool hat
Fern's kitchen aromas
Camaraderie, laughter, and friendship
. . . and . . . THE WONDER OF THE SPIRIT BEAR!"
What an unforgettable experience made possible by the paddling and nature passion of the four of you. Thank-you for sharing this with me. The memories I take home are priceless."

Thank-you for what truly was an amazing and most enjoyable trip. I think I have become your best salesman because I can't stop telling people about what a great trip we had and what a fine bunch of people the Columbia III crew are. You are giving people a chance to see the best of one of the world's most beautiful spots in the very best way possible. Magic Stuff!

Thanks for everything and see you next year in the Great Bear Rainforest!

Thank-you for opening our eyes and sharing this beautiful land with us. Your enthusiasm radiates throughout the ship bringing excitement and curiosity around each corner. We feel so fortunate to have embarked on such a remarkable adventure. Thank-you and we hope to see you soon!"

"Having booked nearly a year in advance and coming for the second time my expectations were high and yet exceeded by all that was seen and experienced. Thanks."
Scott, Maryland 2006, 2007 and rebooked for 2008

"We're quiet and reserved - we're almost back to 'reality'. As I look around at the books and the couch and windows I wonder about all the people that have come on this boat before me. They thumbed through the pages of Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest, and sipped teas with their feet curled up under them on the couch. We come for a week and this boat becomes our home. But we all leave eventually (we were lucky enough to get 9 days of adventure). I find myself amazed by your generosity of spirit that you can continue to open your home (your baby, Ross) and give us all experiences of a lifetime. I thank you for what you've given me, and because I'm neither the first nor the last, you have my respect and admiration. Thanks for putting up with 'us' all. Love and hugs,"
Katie, Ontario Canada 2006, 2007

we thrilled to scenes of memorable delight.

our group was guided by the four Campbell crew.
Up muddy beach and up overgrown trail,
our historian leader did prevail!
Thanks to Ross, Fern, Miray, Farlyn and Jeanette."

(A) Special time for me was in the evening when the oil lamps were burning (with) quiet moments of conversation and laughter. A most pleasant way to make my first sea kayak adventure.
K.S. - Calgary, AB

The scenery... was magnificent – the "Columbia" was wonderful... it allowed us to cover so much territory and was so comfortable. It eliminated concern about the weather.
J.B. - Heriot Bay, BC

The "Columbia" has to be the most beautiful boat on the coast. Coming back to it after a day of paddling has been a definite joy, everytime. I've enjoyed the hardwood, the brass, the experience and your low key, but all encompassing hospitality.

A memorable week for sure on the venerable Columbia III with its genial captain and crew and all the delicious meals either on board or picnic style on the beaches.

Ann and Knick - Harley, Oxford UK

I came here with high expectations and you did not let me down. Everything including orcas, bears, humpbacks, weather, food, accommodations, guides, paddling etc. was perfect. When the fog lifted, the sun came up, and the orcas appeared on the last day, I came to believe that you had it all beautifully staged.
Thomas - Toronto Ont.

We shall never forget our week onboard Columbia III, exploring some of the planet's most beautiful terrain and viewing its fine inhabitants. Words do little to convey our appreciation of the wonderful hospitality and fellowship of the talented and dedicated Campbell family. We hope that we may return one day.

Thanks for an amazing week! The food, the wildlife, the guiding, the boat, the family - all as good as it gets!

We've just had the most memorable trip of our lifetime and appreciate being able to travel with your entire family. It was a wonderful way to be able to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary a year in advance. The best whale watching!
Bill and Sandy - Oakville Ont.

A wonderful experience exploring, with exhilerating moments ofhaving a pod of orcas pass through our group of kayaks, sighting bald eagles, a black bear checking rocks of a snack, river otters, sea lions intermingled with much laughter, quick quips, storytelling, balanced with tranquil moments kayaking along the shores through mist, rain and sunshine plus fabulous food! Incredible!!
G.S. - Wenatchee, WA

It was wonderful being here with my family... having a picnic on the beach – siting on an ancient midden and throwing crab shells over my shoulder, like the natives would have done 8,000 years ago!

We are sad to see the week come to an end; it was such a restful, fun, and memorable week.

It was truly a success because of each and every one of their efforts and enthusiasm. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Kathy and Mitch - Kelowna B.C.
