Overview
Family Friendly Tour (children under 3 are free)
This tour is suitable for all ages and ability levels.
Nature lovers will have fun making memories with their family during this guided walk in the lush forests of Whistler, BC. Everyone is encouraged to discover their unique friendship with Nature. Your Guide will help you slow down in order to notice the forest's atmosphere with all your senses through educational, playful and meditative experiences. Observe a banana slug the size of your hand, learn why bears need skunk cabbage and zoom in on a tree trunk full of lichen through a hand held microscope. Forage from Nature's edible garden for our tea ceremony. Remove the stresses of life and enjoy being yourself while the sounds of birds and glacier fed streams move relaxing frequencies through the mountain fresh air.
