"Just Birding's Just Great"

"I went birding with George Bradd while I was on holiday in Tofino. I was
amazed at the quality of birding and George's experience. My dream came true
when I saw such a great variety of new and unexpected birds with George's
help. I saw Western Sandpipers, Least Sandpipers, Lesser Yellow Legs,
Marbled Murrlet, Black Oystercatchers, Common Murs, Pacific Loon, Surf
Scoter,Sandling, Pigeon Guillemot, Brown creeper, Wilson's warbler, Orange
crown warbler and Western Tanager, not to mention a Bald Eagle and many many more all in just two days last September."

"We very much enjoyed the tour, thank you for putting it together. What a great birthday present for me, 15 new birds for my life list and even my namesake gull.  I was very happy to meet Sabine's gull and everybody else for that matter.  Bill and I had a great time and recommend pelagic tours with Just Birding.  What a great way to see sea birds etc."

• Bill and Sabine, Vancouver BC

"Just Birding's canoe trip on the Kennedy River brought us an experience that was unique among the tours offered in Tofino. Our trip included sightings of bald eagles, cedar waxwings, seals, jumping salmon, and a black bear fishing. And we saw only one other boat on the entire day-long trip. George provides lively insights into the lake's wildlife and history. If you want to see more than birds, in a peaceful, beautiful setting, this is the best."

• .Eileen Kessler & Joan Caivano, Washington DC

"Tufted Puffins!, Rhinoceros Auklets!, Black Oystercatchers!, The Seabird Voyage is a two hour tour boat tour that birdwatchers will love!".

• Bob and Joanne Maddox, Laredo, Texas

"Tufted Puffins diving for food, Rhinoceros Auklets feeding with the gulls, Marbled Murrulets waving their butts, a Sooty Shearwater flying by ... the Seabird Voyage met all expectations. With an amiable and expert ornithologist as a guide and an experienced and capable captain, we had an excellent birding experience that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.".

• Mike Yip, Nanoose Bay

"Canoeing in Just Birding's wide based canoe is a perfect way to get close to birds (and creatures) and to see more of the beautiful area. Floating down stream, listening to bird calls and paddling closer - a relaxing and peaceful way to do your bird watching. George is an enthusiastic encyclopaedia of bird knowledge. He not only identified but enthused about everything we saw.".

• Caroline Brown, England

"We would like to tell you that our stay in Tofino was excellent with your assistance and guide service that gave us the chances to see so many kinds of birds. Your tour was the highlight of our stay and we enjoyed it very much. When we paddled in the canoe, the surface of the river was silent like mirror, otter swam and warblers came. Thank you George, we will be back again."
