First Nature did a fantastic job planning and executing our trip to Oregon! Carolee helped us plan a two day itinerary which included a day of wine touring, private chef dinner, crabbing excursion, and coast tour. Her communication and attention to detail were exceptional. Our tour guide Phil was also incredible, often going above and beyond to ensure our group was having a great experience. With a full agenda Phil did a good job of managing our time so we could see everything we wanted to. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone planning a trip to Oregon in the future.

Highly recommend for corporate team building in Portland, especially if you have out-of-town colleagues. We did a custom city food tour and our guide Paulina was very knowledgeable about the city and a pleasure to have as company! It was a nice sunny day with fleet ships in town so she choice rooftop dining experiences for us to enjoy. Very thoughtful!

We absolutely loved our experience with Kieron and feel fortunate to have explored a little of Washington with such an amazing person. He took the time to get to know us personally, something we really love with any guide, but especially when the excursion day is as long as the one we did. A long drive down from Seattle to Mt Rainier could be boring, but with Kieron it was anything but. He's clever, funny, personable, easygoing - just everything we were looking for. It's also awesome to see LGBTQ+ representation in the guiding industry as it just made it a safe environment and eased a lot of potential stress, even if it isn't a defining part of the tour. Once we got to the park, he knew exactly where to go for the season that would fit what we were looking for, tailored it to our interests and our needs (one member of our group was with an injury), and gave us so much amazing information about the trails, trees and the rich ecosystems that make up the incredible Mt Rainier National Park. Wherever you are in the PNW, take the time to go on some kind of trip with this organisation, because it will absolutely be the highlight of your vacation! 5 stars all around, for everything! Thank you, Kieron!

Our food and city tour was a fantastic way to experience Portland from the history, food, shops and architecture. Our guide was so kind and knowledgeable about Portland, plus she gave us tips for the rest of our trip here.
