Reviews

Thanks to all our guests for their wonderful reviews who took the time to write – some even paragraphs! The 1,162 reviews on AirBnB Experiences, TripAdvisor, Viator, Google, Facebook and Couchsurfing all warrant sharing. This also showcases what a wonderful place we live in, that locals often take for granted. One of the reasons I continue to lead hikes even after more than a decade is sharing our wonderful outdoors with as many people as possible, and their warm feedback is the best gratitude I can receive. Feel free to leave a review on Google if you’ve attended one of our tours. Thanks!

As the summer travel season approaches, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for Nafees, an incredibly kind soul and exceptional tour guide. During my solo trip, I had the absolute pleasure of embarking on multiple treks with him, and he delivered on every element. Nafees goes above and beyond for his guests, ensuring that each experience is truly special. His communication and follow-up are exceptional, providing peace of mind and confidence throughout the journey. He is incredibly easy to talk to and relatable, making every interaction enjoyable and memorable. Nafees also goes the extra mile to build comradery in the small group setting. What stands out the most about Nafees is his infectious passion for the outdoors. His enthusiasm and love for nature inspired many of my future adventures. He genuinely cares about his guests and is dedicated to making each trek unique and memorable. Nafees is a great motivator, always encouraging and supporting his guests. As a local, he knows the best places to visit to avoid large crowds and the exact times when the lighting is ideal for photos. His attention to detail is truly remarkable and shows how much he cares about creating perfect moments for his guests. Having Nafees as a guide is worth every penny. If you’re considering booking with him, don’t hesitate for a moment. I cannot recommend him enough. I would give him 6 out of 5 stars if I could. He is, without a doubt, the best guide I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, and I am deeply grateful for the experiences and memories he helped create.

One of my best ever tours! Nash picked me up at promptly at 10AM and took me to an old growth forrest with huge trees, beautiful waterfall, a still water pool, flowers & fauna, Lynn Valley suspension bridge, Stanley Park, Granville Island, Gastown/Steam clock, Prospect Point and the Capilano River Regional Park for the great view of the Lions Peak. He included photo ops at colorful mailboxes and with the Canada Post vehicle once he knew I’d been a Postmaster in the US. I was the only one on his tour today. He gave lots of time, tips & instructions on how to take better photos with my iPhone15 Pro Max and editing tips too! He never hurried me but went at my pace and let me fully explore each of the stops. Nash was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and fun-He even let me take a couple of pictures of him:) I would recommend this tour to everyone😁 Thanks Nash!!!

Nafees took really good care of us. We were comfortably picked up at our Airbnb. On the way up to the park he gave us a lot of information about what else to do in Vancouver, places to eat and so on. The tour through the park was great. Nafees knows a lot about the history and nature and took us to some hidden gems as well 🙂 The hike was easy and in good maintenance (even when it’s raining a bit). We would totally recommend the whole trip.

This experience was fantastic! Nafees was an excellent guide and he answered all of my questions about Vancouver and about life here. He also gave me tons of tips on how to take good nature photos. I highly recommend this experience if you’re coming to visit Vancouver and are interested in nature or photography!

Had an amazing photo hike together with Nafees, who was super friendly and warm to chat with. Despite the rain, it was a great time walking through Lynn Canyon and seeing the lush vegetation and old trees everywhere, with some great photo opportunities of leaves, moss, and water streams to take advantage of. I managed to take a great handheld long exposure of the waterfall from the suspension bridge as well, which turned out to be my personal favorite shot. Nafees also helped to take some really great photos of me to commemorate the hike, so cheers for that!

Nafees is the perfect guide to one of Vancouver’s best-kept secrets. He picked me up from my accommodation and brought me to Lynn Canyon. He is very knowledgeable about the area and photography. His photography skills came in handy as he picked ideal spots at Lynn Canyon for pictures, which he took with my camera. He even dropped me off near Stanley Park, which is where I wanted to go after the trip. Lynn Canyon is a great alternative to Capilano Suspension Bridge (and better IMO). I highly recommend going with Nafees. He was considerate, helpful, and friendly! Thanks Nafees!

What a great experience! Nafees’ company is really nice, he is kind, talkative, patient and a great photographer. I’ve had some prior experiences with hiking before, but he managed to give me some valuable tips during our hike, along with some valuable info about Stawamus Chief. Also, his photos were really good! As for the planning, he even suggested a switch in the day, to get the best of the weather: and it couldn’t be better: clear skies and an amazing view. After our hike, he even helped me with some great tips for me to get the best out of my short time in Vancouver! Highly recommended!

Without a doubt, this was one of my favorite Airbnb experiences to date. Nafees is such a great teacher, and he really took the time to make sure my boyfriend and I understood the reasons for the things we were doing. Gastown at night is absolutely beautiful, and I would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to take better pictures!

I had an amazing day on Bowen Island. In perfect weather, Nafee told me a lot about the island and nature, answered questions and always pointed out beautiful motifs. And even though I’m not a very good photographer, Nafee showed me a few little tricks on how to take special photos. In addition, I received a lot of tips for my other travel destinations in Canada. All in all a successful tour that I would like to recommend to everyone.

Such a rewarding personal experience — and one you won’t want to miss! Loved learning about night photography and the various less-traditional ways to approach photo taking. The resulting photos from this night will be keepsakes for years to come and I will fondly remember the experience always.

Well worth it! We were in Vancouver for just a day prior to our Alaska cruise. Nafees picked us up and took us to the canyon and dam. He even accommodated my request to stop by for a souvenir and pass through downtown so we have an idea where we will be taking the cruise from. He is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Engaging and well executed – Nafees knows his town of Vancouver well. He adapted to the weather to ensure we had the best possible time out hiking and taking photos. He had the route well planned. He provided very constructive feedback on improving my photography. I was very pleased with the whole experience!

Thanks to Nash, it was a wonderful trip. Even though I can’t speak English, he provided me with a lot of topics, and I enjoyed it very much. His knowledge and experience are great. Thank you very much!

Our guide Nafees was delightful. He shared a wealth of information about photography and his obvious love of the park was inspiring.

Nafees, our tour guide was great. He showed us around and helped us take great pictures. The area was great at this time of year and our family had a lot of fun.

Great hike, thank you so much!

Had a great time hiking quarry rock. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a picturesque hike without putting in too much physical effort. The view from the top is amazing.

Nafees’ passion and expertise made the tour both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their photography skills while discovering Gastown’s charm.

Nafees, our tour guide, was great. He showed us around and helped us take great pictures.

The area was great at this time of year and our family had a lot of fun.

Everything was perfect, I recommend it 100%!!

An absolute MUST if you’re visiting Vancouver! I cannot speak highly enough of this tour!! Nafees was the real deal–the perfect guide, historian, and photography guru. It was SUCH a joy learning about Vancouver and the surrounding regions while driving through the most picturesque landscapes. Both a local and photographer himself, he knew of all the prime stops–and those lesser known–for the best photos. Even though I was a novice, and traveling with only an iPhone and Android, Nafees was incredibly patient and shared a ton of tips on how to get the most out of my camera apps. The trip itself is breathtaking and perfectly timed to allow for sight-seeing, photoshoots, and even a lovely lunch break at Whistler Village! I absolutely loved hearing about the history of the region, including the people, the land, and the wildlife. Hands down my favorite tour/day of the trip!! 100% worth it. 🙂

Nafees was knowledgeable, professional and kind. I learned things about both my new iphone (Live and Long Exposure! WOW) and how to maximize my DSLR. Examining Gastown lights with an artistic lens, both literally and figuratively, was the perfect way to appreciate this historic classic area of Vancouver.

We loved walking around Gastown with Nafees – he showed us how to use our iPhones to enhance our nighttime photography and we got so many shots of my mom and I together, which never happens when we are traveling just the two of us. Nafees was so funny and patient and knew exactly how to make us comfortable with the camera without making it feel like a photo shoot, he catered to our interests, we were able to enjoy the surroundings and get a great value tour. Definitely recommend.

Nafees was a great guide for a tour of the Whistler area. This tour starts in Vancouver but since I was staying in Whistler, Nafees picked me up at my hotel with 2 other lovely young tourists that he had shown me the Squamish area. We snowshoed quite a distance to the beautiful Nairn Falls and he was incredibly patient with my fear of heights, kindly helping me when I struggled in spots. We also stopped at some other beautiful sites near Pemberton. Nafees navigated my desire for artistic photography sites with the other’s desires for Instagram/selfie photos quite adeptly and made the tour enjoyable for all.

Nafees is a super experienced host! I’ve learned so much in our short sessions and continue to practice all the photo tips that I’ve received. Nafees was also super accommodating and went out of his way for our arranged meetup and drop-off. Don’t miss out on this awesome experience.

Nafees is very knowledgeable and passionate about photography. He spent a lot of time explaining to our daughter how to use her digital SLR and he showed us some great tips for using the camera on an iPhone. We got some great shots and had fun along the way.

Great conversations and knowledge on the area. Would recommend it to anyone wanting great pictures and a great experience.

From the time we were picked up from our hotel, Nafees was great! Not too much walking and saw some beautiful scenery and learnt a few things about our Nikon and iPhone cameras.

So friendly explanation and he showed me another attractive place voluntarily. it was amazing trip. Thank you!

What a fun and informative hour we had with Nafees! Definitely recommend.

Just book it!! This was amazing! Nafees was extremely knowledgeable and knew where all the spots to go and what time to go to beat the crowds. Which was awesome! I was a solo traveler and felt completely safe. Book the day!! 🙂

Such a great day. Nafees brought Lynn Canyon to life for us and really helped us to see it from different perspectives and taught us a few great photography techniques in the process!

A great day out, with Nafees taking the time to walk through Lynn Canyon and explain how to take great photography shots. Thoroughly enjoyed the day – thank you very much!

It was a great day out, and Nafees took the time to show me around all the great photo locations in and around Squamish and Whistler. Loved it! Thank you very much!

I definitely got my money’s worth and then some. Warm and friendly host in a gorgeous location! I learned so much and I feel empowered to step up my photography skills. Thank you Nafees! See you on another tour 👏🏾

A lovely hike that was just the right mix in between a fresh walk and a little challenge. Nafees made it a nice experience with good conversation and offering to take some keepsake photos. A morning well spent!

Nafees is a wonderful guide, host and teacher. Right away he connected with both myself and my son and made us feel welcome and comfortable. We laughed, smiled and learned along the way. His positivity and warmth made for an unforgettable experience.

I can’t thank Nafees enough… this was such a fantastic day, which he made so easy to enjoy. He was courteous, professional, patient, friendly and knowledgeable. This was absolutely the best money we spent while in Canada. Don’t think twice… book this guy!!!

Nash was great! Appreciate that he spent Christmas Day with us. Lynn canyon was beautiful. Said I wanted to see snow and he made a separate stop at Cypress mountain. Really felt like we were visiting a friend who took us around. Learned how to do long exposure on our phone. Just a great excursion.

It was a brilliant experience with Nafees. He made the entire experience very comfortable and was enthusiastic to make it a magical experience for us!

We had a wonderful day with Nafees! He showed us some of the most magical places within driving distance of Vancouver – 10/10 would recommend the tour 🙂

Best experience ever! This was a must do while we were in Vancouver definitely worth the money the experience was unimaginable and the tour guide was lovely and knowledgeable, wouldn’t second guess doing this!!

Excellent experience. We brought three different cell phones and Nafees knew the different camera features of each. My photography will be much better after this!

I had an amazing experience with Nafees during his Gastown Night Photography session. Nafees is not just a fantastic photographer, but also an excellent teacher who made learning about photography both fun and informative. Throughout the session, Nafees provided hands-on guidance on the fundamentals of photography, explaining how shutter speed, f-stop, and ISO impact the outcome of a picture. His ability to break down complex concepts and guide me through practical exercises at various photo spots around Gastown was incredibly valuable. I left the session with a deeper understanding of how to decide the individual values of these settings based on different use cases. What stood out to me was Nafees’ exceptional talent in sharing insights on street photography composition. He demonstrated how a good composition can transform a simple street photo into a captivating visual story. Nafees’s keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the principles of composition in an easy-to-understand manner greatly enriched the learning experience. Beyond the photography lessons, Nafees shared interesting historical tidbits about Gastown and some funny stories from his previous photography sessions. This not only made the experience educational but also highly enjoyable. Nafees created a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, allowing me to ask questions and experiment with my newfound knowledge. I highly recommend his night photography experience for anyone looking to enhance their photography skills while exploring the vibrant atmosphere of Gastown. Thank you, Nafees, for a memorable and enlightening evening.

This was the third (and longest) of three tours I did with Nafees during my time in Vancouver. He is a multi-hyphenate, a photographer, hiker, explorer, and comedian, all of which coalesced to make this tour (and, frankly, all of the tours I did with him) really, really enjoyable. Having already done two tours with Nafees before this one, I knew that it was going to be fun, and I was not disappointed. The fun group and beautiful Cypress setting (green Olympic rings, a touch of snow for snowshoeing, and some amazing views) made this tour the one I most enjoyed of the three I did with Nafees. Saying that time flew by would not be an understatement. If I ever return to Vancouver, I’d absolutely do another tour with Nafees. Join his tours, so you too can see why…

This was the second (and shortest) of three tours I did with Nafees during my time in Vancouver. He is a multi-hyphenate, a photographer, hiker, explorer, and comedian, all of which coalesced to make this tour (and, frankly, all of the tours I did with him) really, really enjoyable. Having already done one tour with Nafees before this one, I knew that it was going to be fun, and I was not disappointed. The location in Gastown was also really cool, since in a relatively small area we were able to get some great photos. You’ll be walking (but not far) to different vantage points, so dress appropriately. I highly recommend all of the tours I did with Nafees.

This was the first of three tours I did with Nafees during my time in Vancouver. He is a multi-hyphenate, a photographer, hiker, explorer, and comedian, all of which coalesced to make this tour (and, frankly, all of the tours I did with him) really, really enjoyable. While from the tour’s description I had expected it to be very static/structured, I was pleasantly surprised when Nafees organically tailored the tour to my interests, resulting in improvements to my photo-taking skills (on an iPhone, no less) and him acting as photographer for yours truly, a solo traveler averse to the questionable quality of selfies. You’ll be traveling by car to various locales during the tour, so dress in layers so that you’re adequately prepared. I highly recommend all of the tours I did with Nafees.

This tour is perfect if you want to see different sights of North Vancouver. The tour included locations that I would not have known about if I went by myself. Nafees is an exceptional guide and is accommodating to everyone. My mum came on the tour as well and Nafees walked with her during the hike and made sure she was safe. I highly recommend this tour as I always book Nafees’s tours when I visit Vancouver. It’s always lots of fun doing these tours with Nafees.

Well worth your time – This tour was structured so as to optimize both lighting and location for truly scenic landscapes. There were also more opportunities for great wildlife photography than I was expecting. It pays to be flexible on the dates of this particular trip as the experience is so weather dependent. Nafees shared very helpful tips on both smartphone and DSLR camera settings and there were many opportunities to use them. As a solo female traveler I had no concerns whatsoever about my safety and security and he knows the area well. The hiking is not too demanding for someone in reasonable shape, but wearing comfortable, broken-in shoes with traction, layers and keeping the camera equipment light and compact will make the trip more enjoyable. Bring snacks to Lake Louise/Morraine and bring a cloth to wipe your camera lens or smartphone screen in case of unexpected rain.

Nafees is such an amazing host!!! The experience is amazing, he designed it very thoroughly from beginning to end: from the pick up to the ride back to my place; and the hiking on snow it’s delightful. Nafees is also great on fostering friendship and community, we even had a snowball fight! I had an amazing time and I’m looking forward to live more experiences hosted by him. Highly recommended!

Epic Road Trip with Nash – Seriously, WOW! If you’re up for an unforgettable road trip that’s part photo op, part epic exploration, Nash is your guide. Seriously, five stars don’t do it justice – it’s a must-do for anyone wanting to soak in the beauty of Squamish and Whistler! Big thanks to Nash for making it so darn awesome!

Nafees was wonderful and took me on a solo tour of Vancouver nature hikes. I would consider myself an intermediate photographer, but he helped me to explore long exposures and macro photography more. I would love to post more photos, but the site isn’t accepting the photos I took on my camera, just the ones on my phone. Sorry, they were great though!

The tour’s well-paced itinerary and knowledgeable guide Nash made it an unforgettable journey through Vancouver’s natural and cultural gems. Highly recommended for those seeking a diverse and captivating exploration. Nash’s exceptional photography skills and insightful picture-taking tips added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. Not only did Nash expertly capture memorable moments, but his guidance also enhanced our own photography skills, ensuring we left with stunning snapshots.

Nafees was an awesome and friendly guide. He always made sure everybody was comfortable and safe. The tour was lots of fun and the views were beautiful. My mum came on the tour with me, and he made sure she was safe and was very accommodating. I highly recommend this tour.

Awesome tour! It was a great way to see and explore Bowen Island with Nafees! I enjoyed the hike and seeing different places. Nafees is an excellent guide who ensures everybody feels comfortable and safe. There is always a positive vibe during Nafees’s tours.

Great experience, everything was perfect. Without a doubt it is a great choice to do this activity, great landscapes and unbeatable attention.

My friend and I really enjoyed our experience with Nafees. He was professional, on time, and super friendly! We had a fun group of travelers, and took advantage of the wonderful nature in Lynn Canyon.

This was an awesome experience! Nafees showed us how to take great pictures with our phones; he knew how to use all new features. He led a great walking tour as well.

Although the bridge may not be as dramatic as what’s on offer at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, the price is right – free except for parking. There’s a lovely café on site, too, where you can get warm and dry and have a hot beverage and a Nanaimo bar.

We had a great time on this tour. It was a day packed full of cool sights around Vancouver. Would recommend to anyone having a day to tour while in Vancouver. At the end you will
end up with some great photos and some great memories!

Our tour guide Nafees was so wonderful! Not only did he give us a fantastic day of exploring BC, but he also gave us wonderful recommendations for the rest of the trip! Highly
Recommend!

I had a fantastic time snowshoeing and taking pictures alongside an excellent guide. We got lucky that there was a fresh dumping of snow and the sun was out.

Exploring the tropical forest-like forest in Avatar was really interesting and enjoyable. Nafees is a good guide who is passionate and knowledgeable.

Learned some cool tips and got an insider look around Gastown and Chinatown.

Amazing experience. Nafees knows the place very well.

My daughter and I did this on our recent trip to Vancouver. The guide was very friendly and personable. He took us on a short walking tour, provided us with some good tips for taking better photographs, and we got some good shots of my daughter and I together. I would definitely recommend this tour if you have an interest in photography.

This was an absolutely incredible experience to go through the park with a guide – find some great spots to take photos, and have photos of you taken. The guide knew some great spots to see things you might miss on your own. Highly recommend it.

Very recommended! Nafees is very knowledgeable and nice. He accompanied us telling us anecdotes and curiosities of the place. In addition, we now have very nice souvenir photos!!!

This was a great way to spend the 1 day we had in Vancouver. It showed us the many different aspects of this amazing city with some indigenous history thrown in.

What a great experience! Nafees was very knowledge about the parks we visited and very helpful with learning the basics of photography. 10/10 would recommend.

I learned a lot about some very useful Iphone photo features – and have already put them to good use! Gastown is also a great location for night photography.

A great tour and Nafees was very knowledgeable as the guide. We had a nice day. The scenery was spectacular.

Beautiful views in dramatically changing landscapes as you drive up to Whistler, where two short, yet wonderful hikes take place.

Nafees helped us with tips and tricks to use smartphone.

Nafees was a very knowledgeable & pleasant guide. He took us to many great places to photograph throughout the city. We enjoyed our day in Vancouver.

Had a wonderful experience to Bowen Island with Nafees. The route through the park was perfect and Nafees knew all the little spots to stop at for photos. The views from the island were also amazing and it was a very relaxing hike on a beautiful day.

Gastown by night was so interesting! We managed to take great pictures with the advice of Nafees.

We truly loved our nighttime Gastown tour. It has been drizzling rain, and this ended up being the perfect setup for some gorgeous shots. We had so much fun! Nafees was brilliant with his teachings, and as a beginner I learned so much in this brief time. My husband is a novice camera user, and really enjoyed this tour as well. Highly recommend it! When we are in Vancouver next we will definitely jump on one of Nafees other photography tours he hosts in another location. Can’t wait!

Nafees is personable, knowledgeable, and very attentive to individual needs. I had a great time and so will you. Highly recommended.

Nafees is just great! We visited Bowen Island for a photo, hiking tour. Beautiful views, lots of nature, delicious lunch. Despite the fact that I had booked alone, the tour took place, just great! Happy again…. 🙂

Thoughtfully planned itinerary with experienced guide who is always watching out for you and sharing useful tips and advice.

Bowen is so beautiful and peaceful! It’s small and looks like a hallmark card, Nash was really nice and so authentic. All the experience felt like we were among friends. I 100% recommended this experience. Now I can’t wait for the pictures that Nash took about us.

Nafees was an amazing guide. His communication was top notch; was very informative throughout the entire experience. This hike was magical in itself, but Nafees made the experience even better; we learned some inside knowledge that foreigners would never be able to learn without someone who is used to the area. Overall the experience was 5 stars and I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone visiting Vancouver who isn’t renting a car or someone who is interested in having an amazing tour guide! Thank you so much for having us, Nafees!

Nafees was a very experienced guide who looked out for us the entire way and gave very useful tips and advice. The tour was thoughtfully planned from start to finish, down to the drive back with the beautiful sunset. It was a good itinerary and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire day. Highly recommended esp if you are new to the area and don’t want to hike solo like myself!

I chose to spend my 40th birthday on a tour from Nafees. It was incredible! We saw so many beautiful natural areas on the North Shore of Vancouver that we would have never known to check out on our own. He was pleasant and really fun to spend the day with, highly knowledgeable about the area. He helped us learn to take better pictures and took really special pictures of us to help remember the day. I could not recommend spending the day with him more highly!

We had a good experience with Nafees. Also very convenient having him provide transportation for the trip.

I highly recommend taking this tour! I got to know places I never imagined visiting.

AMAZING!!!!! Such an amazing guide. Had THE best day. So friendly and knowledgeable. Highly highly recommended, would book again in a heartbeat.

Pleasant getaway and hidden gem with personalized input from Nash who was very hospitable. Highly recommended.

Nafees is an exceptional guide and one who clearly takes pride in his offerings and shares his passion for hiking, climbing and the natural beauty of the region. He led my family of 7 on a very customized day of touring multiple sites with diversified levels of challenge. He was thoughtful, paid careful attention to safety, and took us to many places that were off the beaten path to avoid crowds. He also knew the best spots to park without a hassle which was a godsend in itself. I highly recommend this experience as well as any others that Nafees leads!!! He is a true enthusiast with a wealth of knowledge!!!

An experience to do without hesitation – A park that is definitely worth seeing and the hike with Nafees was very enjoyable. He is very friendly and he gave me great tips to improve my photos. The photos he took with my iPhone are exceptional. I will have great memories of this morning and will not hesitate to do other hikes with Nafees if I come back to Vancouver.

Breathtaking and unforgettable. The most picture perfect hike I have ever done! Nafees curated such an unforgettable experience, hand on heart, I would immediately do it again and again. The hike was enjoyable and effort easily rewarded with unreal views. Definitely the highlight of my BC trip – do not miss it. Aimee from Australia.

Absolutely beautiful and memorable day! Due to there not being enough signed up for the Stawamus Chief Hike on the day I had booked, Nafees accepted me on the Joffre Lakes Tour.
The scenery was beautiful, the hike was challenging and the group was a lovely mix of travellers. Nafees knowledge of Vancouver and the hikes was outstanding and he was very accomodating and an experienced guide and photographer. I would recommend booking with Nafees if you have the opportunity. Highlight of my trip!

I had a great experience visiting Lynn Canyon for a photography tour with Nafees! I used both my Canon and iPhone and he had many tips for both – I learned a lot even as someone who thought she had quite a bit of photography knowledge. He knew lots about the area and provided many other recommendations for what else I might enjoy doing on the remainder of my trip. It was great having a local’s perspective and guidance, and especially as a solo traveler I enjoyed the company of hiking and taking photos with someone! I’d recommend booking an Airbnb experience with Nafees, for sure!

The best and most convenient way to experience Joffre Lakes! Nafees was an incredible guide who hiked with us through all three lakes. He knows the trails, the rangers, and the best spots for photos and views that the other tourists don’t know about. The convenience of him picking us up at our hotel combined with his park pass for our access to Joffre was unmatched. We wouldn’t have been able to do this trip without him and would recommend this experience to any of our friends. Joffre itself is a moderate level hike that requires a few water breaks due to some of the steepness. However, it was one of the most beautiful hikes we’ve ever been on that was well worth a full day of our vacation. Plus, you get to swim at the upper lake which was most definitely a highlight of our trip!

Wonderful experience for me and my Mom to get some great photos of us on our trip to Vancouver. Nafees is full of information and facts on the area, and he knew the right spots to go during less crowded times and when the lighting was perfect. He taught me some new things about my iPhone and even taught my Mom who is in her 70s how to take nice photos. I booked this experience to celebrate an anniversary of mine and happy with a handful of photos from it. Mom was pleasantly suprised and also very happy with her photos. Nafees catered the experience and is flexible and responsive. I am blind and he was descriptive and accommodating. Would recommend!

I went on a solo work trip & had some time to kill in Vancouver so I decided to book this hike! Nafees the guide is extremely kind and made the hike a wonderful experience, from great conversation and sharing his knowledge of Vancouver and being a naturalist along the drive and hike was an absolute joy! The hike was moderate and steep in some areas but with gorgeous stops along the way. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a beautiful hike, nice photos, and a good time with good people!

The tour was great. Nafees thinks of everything including bug spray, sunscreen and tips on hiking technique so you don’t hurt yourself and proactively thinks of your knees. He allows everyone to hike at their own pace and gives points where the group comes back together. He is super patient whether it is about the hike itself, photos or anything else. A few of us (including me) also jumped into the lake. It’s very cold but I would still recommend it to anyone, at least when the sun is shining. Also worth the drive to the starting point (sth 1.5h each way), you see what all the time the sea and the mountains. Thanks Nafee for the great day.

This is our first hike and we had a great time. The hike itself was tiring but the view at the lake was really worth it. Nafees was really helpful in giving us advice on what to do and what not. He also took great photos of us and gave us tips on how to take better photos. Thank you Nafees!

A magical location in which to learn and practice techniques and tips for better photos – both on the DSLR and the iphone. Re the photography, it was good to relate the various tips to specific types of desired image/effect; I used to know a lot more than I can remember now (ain’t that just the case!!) and it was good to recall and re-learn with someone who was keen to help me ‘process’ and retain. Now I just need to practice. Re Nafees as a host, he was charming, interested and interesting, patient beyond words; we really appreciated being picked up from our hotel, so we didn’t have to stress about the buses first thing, and Nafees went above and beyond by dropping us off at Stanley Park when we had completed our experience enabling us to make the most of our short time in this beautiful city. If you book this tour with Nafees you won’t be disappointed. (P.S. in case you are wondering, don’t be put off by the physical activity level required – it was little more than a gentle stroll for us 2 unfit 70yr olds!)

Absolutely amazing A beautiful hike all the way through that gets better and better. You have to work for those views but I promise you they are worth every step. Nafees was fantastic. We learned a lot of really meaningful and practical photography tips and photography creation. When I booked this your I was worried about two things: bears and being in a car for a few hours with someone I didn’t know. There are no bears, not on the trail, ever. And for being in the car or the whole day with someone I didn’t know, it couldn’t have been better. Nafees feels like that nice friend, discreet, not on your face, super knowledgeable, that answers all your question and makes you feel confident and safe. Great leader. Thank you Nafees! And I met my goal! Getting you on a selfie! 🙂

This was such a great experience and I highly recommend taking this tour. From the time we met, he took the time to show me how to use my new camera and the patience to answer all the questions I had with the camera and even demonstrating the different setting’s. He had me take pictures in different lighting and explained how to use the natural lines of the streets and buildings to make the pictures have more depth and color. Nafees even provided additional helpful tips on taking photos using the iPhone and the differences in what the iPhone can do vs my camera. This hour flew by and I had wished we could’ve kept going for another hour. This tour is great for learning the ropes of their cameras and I’m certain for the more experienced as well. I definitely recommend it. Nafees is personable, kind. Great fun!

Nafees was great company and a thoughtful host with lovely personality and respectful presence. He taught us about taking great photos on both iPhone and digital camera. He also taught about important photography concepts and functions so we walked away with a deeper understanding of it. Bowen island was a lovely and simple hike, good little day trip on a short ferry ride. As out of towners we were grateful to have him navigate the whole transportation experience. I highly recommend this sweet day trip with Nafees!

Nafees is a great guide who made sure this hike was an unforgettable experience! He is very friendly, experienced and always takes care of all the members of the group. The hike itself is challenging mostly because of the time it gets to reach the lake but it is definitely worth it. The views are amazing.

Nafees was friendly and picked me up from my place outside of downtown Vancouver. He also let me borrow his old DSLR to refresh my basic knowledge on photography. Overall a really nice trip to enjoy nature, learn something, meet other travelers, and of course get some nice photos as memories.

The hike was a bit challenging because it’s very steep and has several stairs at the beginning of the hike but it’s not a long hike so it is very doable. The last part has chains and ladders which are really fun! I would however suggest you have a good pair of hiking boots for the trail since its all rock and you want to have a good grip. Nafees is an awesome guide. We did 2 different hikes with him and he always made sure we had a great time. He is fun, friendly and experienced. I will definitely book more hikes with him when I’m back in Vancouver.

Coming from zero experience in hiking to taking on a challenging hike like the chief Nafees made it seem easier by taking breaks and showing us tips on taking photos. Nafees showed us lots of safety tips and proper techniques on how to use chains up the rock which made me love the experience even more. The views were amazing and I would definitely do this hike again.

Since I was a beginner hiker, they changed the hike to the Garibaldi Lake hike. The Garibaldi hike is long but not technical, and if you are physically fit, you can complete it without any problems. The view I encountered after all my hard work was like a dream. The guide was funny and appropriate, and the members we went with were great. It was a great experience for a beginner hiker to be able to experience this. Thanks to the guide and everyone.

This was an amazing experience. I learned a great deal about how to use my IPhone to take better pictures. The places we visited were outstanding with a lot of variety. Natee is a great host sharing wonderful information about Vancouver. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat.

The highlight of my trip in Vancouver. Absolutely gorgeous day at Joffre. Met some amazing people all over the world, and Nafees is an incredible guide. He’s very informative, gave a lot of useful advice and made the tour a very pleasant experience. Couldn’t recommend this enough.

This was the most incredible experience. Nafees was so kind and patient. We loved traveling with a local and being able to avoid the crowds. The views were breathtaking and we learned so many photography tips. 5 stars is a vast underrating of this experience. Thanks Nafees!!

What a fun day with the bonus of seeing diverse parts of Vancouver! Loved the mix of city and nature, and hearing some history. Nafees was relaxed and attentive. We loved the city and found everyone to be kind and friendly.

Lynn Canyon is surely a great place to learn how to better use of one’s camera. Nafees explains very well and showed us the differences between our phone cameras and the digital cameras we had along. Personalized explanations, we were only 2 attendees, which was great! Now I know when to use which camera. Thank you Nafees.

I’m an inexperienced hiker who decided to do the Chief with Nafees. He’s an awesome experienced host who made sure the pace was very comfortable and safe for everyone, and we had a great time + got a lot of great photos from him. It was a steep hike as advertised, but I felt great conquering it and never felt unsafe at any point!

The views are unmatched! I loved everything. Luxury photographs. The hike is for beginners or intermediates. There are many breaks where you can rest along the way. It’s worth it!!!

Pick-up & drop-off and a guided tour, all led by the extremely kind Nafees! I love getting outside, and that’s a big part of why I routed my trip the way that I did. Stawamish/Squamish Chief is a gorgeous hike, and was the perfect way to conclude my PNW trip. Thanks so much!

If you’re looking for something to do that will allow you to see Gastown through the lense of your phone (or camera), book this tour with Nafees. Not only does he have a natural eye for photography, but he has a lot of knowledge about the history of Gastown. Hands down one of my favorite experiences during my recent visit to Vancouver BC.

Magical location. Just hope it’s a sunny day. Recommend going there between June – October. Nafees was an excellent guide, very experienced and knowledgeable about this Hiking trail. Will customize the hike according to your skills and hiking experience.

Amazing!! Nafees was excellent at guiding us through all the lakes and showing us tips and tricks with our cameras and cells. We were able to fully enjoy the beauty of these lakes and hike. Nafees has a great personality, great photographer, we love all the pictures he took. Great memories, great pictures, great experience. Highly recommended. Thank you Nafees!

Did a short trip to Vancouver whilst working in Canada and was keen to hit some Vancouver hikes. Nafees came recommended and was definitely not disappointed. Nafees is very knowledgeable in the history around the hikes and his photography skills. He’s also a great guy to chat with and made the hike much more enjoyable.

Joffre Lakes was one of the highlights of my trip and I couldn’t ask for a better guide than Nafees. Great information on all questions and great photo tips!

Nafees provided many helpful tips for taking pictures. He was knowledgeable about Lynn Canyon and Vancouver which has so many green spaces. The pick-up and drop off was super easy.

Nafees is an amazing guide and goes out of his way to make sure you have an awesome experience. I got to see and explore some of the ‘well kept secret’ spots in Lynn Canyon park and also some great photos and useful tips on photography!

Really nice tour. The hike is short but a bit challenging, good shoes are required though not necessarily hiking boots. Our guide was really nice and we made a few stops on our way. Beautiful lakes and stunning views on the way!

Excellent guide who was knowledgeable and fun! And the locations were stunning! If you are debating, just go with Nafees. You won’t regret it.

Amazing hike: The views were stunning! If you are a rookie this is definitely something new you should try. Nafees is a great leader as well! Totally worth the experience.

Real Canadian adventure – Incredible experience and learnt so much, had the best day ever! Nafees was a brilliant guide and could not have been anymore helpful.

Amazing hike – The views was stunning! If you are a rookie this is definitely something new you should try. Nafees is a great leader as well! Totally worth the experience.

OMG Yes!! Don’t miss this chance to see Vancouver’s hidden gem!! Nafees was kind, professional and informative. The hike was enjoyable and the views were epic!

The guide Nafee was very knowledgeable and gave many photography tips and we can immediately used. We enjoyed the guide very much and would recommend.

Nash was a great guide who planned our excursion for our needs. The hike was great and the tips for taking pictures was greatly appreciated. Don’t miss out on this tour. The best of Vancouver in one day!!!

The experience was amazing, Nafees at all times gave us the necessary information and gave us tips and help in the activity. I would definitely repeat this experience, both the Journey, transport and place was the best.

Nafees was extremely charismatic, knowledgeable, and accomodating. Scenery and stories alike were fantastic. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Vancouver!

Awesome day trip: We were a group of 3 locals, but had never been to Bowen Island prior to this trip. Nafees offered the transportation between DT Vancouver and Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal, so no need to drive our own cars. We walked one of the trails with Nafees and took photos together. Nafees gave us small tips to take better photos with smart phones. Lunch at the Snug Cafe was tasty. We had a great day with Nafees!

Nafees was amazing to deal with. He picked me up within walking distance from my place, gave us advice on photography, importance of stretching before and after hiking along with hydration/nutrition advice. We enjoyed stops at all 3 lakes, upper, middle and lower plus other hidden beauty’s he knew about. He took photos for us and filmed me jumping in middle lake. Worth every cent doing the tour with Nafees. 👌🏼

This was a wonderful tour to see the highlights of Vancouver and explore the beautiful parks and scenic landscapes.

This suspension bridge was less crowded and the view still very beautiful. Nafees showed tips on how to capture nature and certain settings. This was a very easy hike with barely any stairs.

A great hike up chief to first peak. Was quite challenging but Nafees was great at giving tips. He also takes amazing photos of you on the hike! Definitely recommend.

Nafees is one of the best tour guides in Vancouver. He is knowledgeable and flexible which tailor to our interests. Learn so much on photography too.

Thanks for your guidance around Whistler. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour which was backed up by your extensive knowledge of the area.

What a wonderful tour with a friendly tour guide – Nafees! He’s also a great photographer, as well. This private tour will give you the Lynn Canyon experience from the perspective of a local.

This was my last day in Vancouver and I hadn’t had many good photo ops. I booked this tour and have come home with a good selection of photos of both natural areas and city views that will remind me of my time in Vancouver. Thanks Nafees for a great full day of photography.

I really enjoyed the trip with Nafees. He made sure everyone were comfortable during the trip.

A beautiful, fun and easy hike. Nafees took extra care to show us the best spots and ways to take the best shots. Excellent!

Nash knows his stuff! He took us to several hidden gems around Vancouver. He also showed us a few features of our iPhone to enhance our pictures. We truly enjoyed his company and critique of our photos.

Really enjoyed this. I not only got to check out Gastown and a bit of Chinatown, but I also learned a few tricks to help me be a better photographer.

The hike was beautiful, you can go at your own pace and Nafees, our guide, made it a great day out from Vancouver!

Nafees was an awesome guide to lead us up the mountain to the stunning lake. He knew the best secret spots and created a great experience for me and my friend.

You betta get on this Hike!😊 It was a loooonnnnng and grueling day but definitely worth it. Nafees was a real gem and a fantastic guide. Definitely whenever I’m in the Vancouver area he be my go for tours.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and was very helpful and informative throughout the entire hike. He allowed us to choose our own pace which is great if you are with group.

Nash took us to several hidden gems around Vancouver. He also showed us a few features of our iPhone to enhance our pictures. We truly enjoyed his company and critique of our photos.

5/5 stars. Would definitley recommend. The views were well worth the hike and Nafees was very helpful and informative.

Don’t miss this chance to see Vancouver’s hidden gem!! Nafees was kind, professional and informative. The hike was enjoyable and the views were epic!

Loved this. Did this tour with my husband and we had a great experience. If you have even the slightest interest in photography this is a must-do activity. That night time photography of Gastown with all the lights is so unique, especially under the guidance of a knowledgeable guide. Our photo tour guide, Nafees, was very pleasant, very knowledgeable and very patient. Not only did he give us great tips and show us different ways of using our cameras, but he also gave us a lot of historical and other interesting information about the area. That made the walk so much more interesting and enjoyable. He showed us some great locations to capture great photos and I was able to use some of the techniques I learned from him. We also had some photo shoots. We covered so much without feeling rushed or tired. For me, I couldn’t ask for a better tour guide. He was in contact with us before and after the tour to make sure we had all information we needed and that everything was okay. I would happily do this again and I highly recommend this tour.

What a wonderful way to start our first day in town. Nafees picked us up right on time at our AirBnB & was thoughtful to offer us alternate options & bring ponchos in case of inclement weather. Lynn canyon itself was gorgeous & lush in the drizzle & the outing was well paced with stops for restroom or snack as needed. The park does not have a lot of signage so it was great to have a guide. Photos are beautiful and he did teach us new options on our phone cameras. Answered questions about the area & overall easy to hang with & generous w time & knowledge. Dropped us off at our next destination downtown at the end.

I am on a solo 4 day trip to Vancouver and when I came across this tour on Airbnb I was 100% sure to do it. And it was WORTH it all at the end. Got so much to learn about the place history and he even taught me about some amazing things about iPhone photography and i got many stunning portrait and other shots of mine with nature by him. The park is beautiful and offers a lot to see and with him it was way easy for me to discover every single spot. Much recommended 👍🏼

I couldn’t have hiked up the Chief without Nafees! He is a seasoned hiker who shares all his knowledge with you and it is incredibly helpful. As a Toronto girl who isn’t used to BC hikes, he was incredibly patient with me and gave me great tips and encouragement. He also gave us great photography tips along the way and showed us his secret picture spot on the trail. He got some great “action” shots of my fiancé and I on the trail too. Not to mention, great guy to spend an afternoon with! I would 100% do another hike with Nafees the next time I’m in Vancouver.

Nafees was great company and a fantastic and knowledgeable guide both walking around and helping me with my photography. The hiking was at my pace, and we stopped to take photos whenever we saw something we wanted to photograph (which was a lot!). I was able to experiment with different settings on my camera to get the best shots, and the forest and harbour were beautiful. In all it was a really enjoyable day. If you love nature and photography it is a perfect trip.

Couldn’t recommend this experience more!! If you are looking for an adventure close to the Vancouver area without the hassle of renting a car and setting out on your own, this is for you. Although the hike is by no means “easy,” Nafees went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable with the pace and terrain. We thoroughly enjoyed his company throughout the day and agreed this was hands down the highlight of our time spent in B.C. Don’t hesitate to book this adventure!

Amazing experience. I did both this and the more well known (touristy) Capilano Bridge and preferred this (Lynn) by far given that it was quieter, more scenic and more varied. We even made a few pit stops along the way that I would not have discovered on my own, especially without a car. I learned things about how to use both my camera and iPhone that I will use for my travels going forward. Loved it so much I booked another experience!

Great tour & experience! I was shown hidden gems and was able to capture great photos with the help of one-on-one instruction (all photos I’ve attached have been taken on my phone and are NOT edited)! The location was not too crowded this time of year. Something to note: the hike is easy-moderate with ups and down to multiple flights of stairs. Overall experience took about 2-3 hours and my tour guide gave me recommendations on other “must-dos” in Vancouver. Would definitely recommend!

The experience was great, really recommended. I enjoyed the hike very much and I learnt a lot from this day. The guide was really professional and caring, giving advices on how to better hike, and sharing his experience and knowledge on how to make the most of the adventure – and in general to learn about Canadian nature – and provided interesting talks. I felt very safe all the time. The pickup/drop off also made the day very easy. Amazing day!

Had a great time on the Gastown and Lynn Canyon photo tours with Nafees – he knew both areas really well and had the best spots for photos. I learned a lot about how to adjust a couple camera settings to get the right shot for the time of day and area. Nafees was a real pleasure to spend time with and I highly recommend these tours. You’ll also walk away with some awesome photos of yourself in unique places! Thanks again!

Absolutely brilliant trip, out of the way of tourists and definitely learnt a few more things both on camera and iPhone, guide is knowledgeable on the area and photography as well so well worth the money. For a relatively short trip it offers a good range of photo opportunities macro, long exposure, landscape Good comms with regards pickup and advice on what to bring.

As a solo traveler, I always get a little nervous about excursions like this , however, I had such a great time. We explored tourist locations and spots that were off the beaten path. Nafees was super knowledgeable and made the experience very fun. Oh and he will take the best pictures of you and encourage you to take them even if you aren’t super photogenic like myself. Would definitely recommend this to any and everyone!

Nafees is an amazing guide. He is very knowledgeable about every single information on Cypress as well as any questions that we had about Canada. My friend and I had lots of fun during this trip. We definitely recommend anyone who is visiting Canada to join this tour because it is an eye opening experience and of course, you will never go wrong with Nafees being your guide!!!

We had such a truly memorable sightseeing experience with Nafees that we booked a second tour with him for a full day from Vancouver to Whistler. This was our first trip to Vancouver during a record-breaking snowstorm. He was careful to check weather conditions, and choose the safest day to travel. The Sea-to-Sky Hwy boasts stunningly beautiful views. Nafees was quick to point out golden hour opportunities for breathtaking sunrise photos. He tailored our trip to meet our needs and was beyond accommodating. So many unforgettable stops along the scenic drive. One of the highlights for me was an opportunity to photograph Bald Eagles in Brackendale. This was an incredible experience and one that I will always cherish. As if this wasn’t enough, we went snowshoeing in Whistler for a unique experience. All the photos from his tours are exquisite! I highly recommend the Sea-to-Sky trip to Whistler with Nafees! He is an experienced, knowledgeable guide who is an excellent communicator and strives to provide a first-class sightseeing experience.

My third and final experience with Nafees on my last day in the city. I’m happy that I ended my visit on a high. This experience was amazing and the Cypress mountain was magical. Nafees briefed about snowshoeing and ensured everyone in the group was comfortable. Despite the incessant drizzle, everyone had an excellent time snowshoeing. Thanks to Nafees for setting a pace that was suitable to everyone, he didn’t rush at any point. As always we got to know about cool photography tips as well as amazing pictures of us. Nafees has quite decoded the needs of a traveler and that is the reason all his experiences are top notch. He takes care of the travel, takes you to great locations and finally ensures you get great pictures of yourself. What else do you need as a traveler. If you’re in Vancouver, just trust Nafees with your travel plans and you’ll not be let down. Another highly recommended experience.

With Nafees as your tour guide, not only are you getting a highly engaging and informative sightseeing experience around Vancouver, but you get the eye of a skilled photographer. He was generous with his time and knowledge. The quality of our photos is unparalleled. He showed us how and when to use the long exposure setting on the iPhone along with many other tips. I will always use his suggestions. We took so many memorable high quality photos on this tour that we would not have otherwise had the opportunity to take. I am so grateful for these beautiful family photos and pristine nature shots. Taking this tour was the highlight of our weeklong stay in Vancouver.

Fantastic tour! I actually had booked two tours with Nafees, and he had the presence of mind to check in with me to see if we could do both back to back so as to wrap it up with a fantastic sunset view up Cypress Mtn and also due to other weather warnings. He gave me lot of info about the city and culture and gave me tons of tips on what to do in Vancouver. The tour itself was great, hike up the mountain was fantastic. Nafees def made sure everything was safe to do and also checked in several times throughout the hike. The highlight was the sunset, it really was breathtaking. Recommend this activity be done in the afternoon if weather permits.

This was my second experience with Nafees during my time in Vancouver. I totally loved this experience, I was the only person in the experience. Nafees picked me up from my accommodation, showed me around the highlights of Stanley park, took amazing pictures of me and also explained interesting facts about the place. Once again it was relaxed and the photography tips were good. We also spent a good time at English bay beach. As always got amazing pictures of myself. Nafees was also quite courteous to drop me in Granville island and explained about the place and gave recommendations there. Overall I had a great time and I highly recommend this experience.

Undoubtedly Gastown and China town are 2 of the most colorful neighborhoods at night in downtown Vancouver. Who wouldn’t fancy taking beautiful pictures of themselves as well as the neighborhood? This is exactly the job Nafees makes easier for us. He not only teaches us how to take great photos but he also takes great pictures of us. He also throws interesting facts about the neighborhoods. This experience is highly relaxed and fun. I absolutely recommend this experience with Nafees.

Great day trip from Vancouver. Only 20-30 mins from downtown but it felt like a different world. Great scenery and everything needed was provided. Nafees brought extra ponchos as it was snowing quite hard and had extra dry gloves when our could no longer cope. Nafees was a knowledgeable guide who didn’t rush us and facilitated making snow angels and a snow ball fight. Lots of fun. Highly recommended.

Great intro to snowshoeing, amazing views, useful photography insights and skills for DSLR and Smartphone users and if you’re lucky, birds will eat out of the palm of your hand! Nafees was super friendly, accommodating and went out of his way to make sure everyone had a good time. Highly recommend!

Nafees was an absolutely amazing tour guide! He was very considerate of us and the other guest and gave us a wonderful tour of Lynn canyon! Thank you again for a wonderful experience 🙂

Nafees was a great guide! Super knowledgeable and gave some great camera tips too. Scenery was stunning and took some great photos. Would highly recommend!

Very beautiful experience, the place is magical, I would do it again!!! Nafees was very friendly, took great photos and happened to pick us up from our accommodation.

Excellent walk and the host very friendly and patient. The very clear explanation from the introduction to the explanation on the tour, a wonder.

We had a lovely time! Highly recommend this trip and Nafees. Very knowledgeable and easy going.

Nafees was our wonderful guide for the day. We appreciate so much of him. He’s professional, great with communications and patient. He knows all the best spots in Vancouver. Definitely a huge plus that he’s a great photographer. We (including my two young children and senior parents) all enjoyed the great Vancouver sightseeing/experience!

Our guide Nafees was just great! Thanks to him we had a wonderful day on Bowen Island. We learned a lot of interesting facts from him and can definitely recommend this excursion without reservation! One of the best guides we’ve ever had! Many thanks to Nafees!

I can’t begin to explain how awesome this experience was for me! I’m a novice at photography and Nafees was so patient with me! I learned sooo much that I will definitely put into practice. The location was magical! Couldn’t have planned my day better! Thank you Nafees!

We had a spectacular day with Nash. He was very accommodating and patient with seniors in our group. He took us to uncrowded places which we appreciated. He helped us with our photography and was more than willing to take photos of our group. We did a lot of walking and thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of Vancouver.

Nash is extremely accommodating and knowledgeable. Due to a family emergency, I thought we would have to cancel the experience, but Nash kindly rescheduled to accommodate us. If you book this experience you will not only get photography tips but you will learn so much about this beautiful city. Thank you, Nash.

The views were amazing. Nafees was a great tour guide. He considers how we feel and what will make our tour memorable. He’s such a great photographer too. He even taught us tricks on how to capture better photos using our iPhones. I highly recommend him.

This was wonderful. Nafees offered to pick me up at my location for convenience versus taking a bus or taxi. I got several photographs of Stanley Park, English Bay, and myself. I also learned helpful tips on my Lumix camera. Highly suggest!

This tour is great for exploring Gastown and Chinatown and also for getting excellent instruction on nighttime photography composition, setting up and shooting. Highly recommended even for novice photographers!

Great way explore Whistler and Squamish. Nafees is a very friendly and amazing guide. Knows a lot about the place. Great photos are added bonus. Must try!!!

Nafees provided a great tour of Gastown as he taught us night photo basics for both DSLR and iPhone shots. He was a natural teacher with a wealth of info to share and I think each of us (2 adults and a 14 year old) came away with some beautiful shots and improved photography skills.

Such an amazing adventure.. Beautiful scenery and Nafees ensured that we had some great pictures to take home from our adventure. Definitely recommend this tour.

Nash was wonderful, he shared a lot of his acknowledge about Squamish and Whistler, I couldn’t ask for better experience. If you come to Vancouver you have to know the real Vancouver, not just the city, but the nature.

Nafees is super enthusiastic about sharing his love of the natural areas around Vancouver. He also gave us great tips and lessons for taking better images and how to use our camera phones to edit and enhance the pictures.

We did a lovely photography tour in Gastown with Nafees. We have two young kids. Nafees was able to adapt the tour to those needs, showed immense patience in teaching them tips and tricks. Highly recommend.

Nafees was really knowledgeable about the area and how to photograph it. We got in his car and drove all around Stanley Park and the beach area with stops along the way for great picture taking.

Wonderful tour with Nafees. Nafees took his time and tailored things to my interests. Lynn Canyon was stunning and it was easily my favorite thing I’ve been able to do when visiting Vancouver.

Nafees is an excellent guide, a very willing photographer, and knows all the best spots to stop along the route. We also got to hike Lynn Canyon, which was a great bonus. Highly recommend!

It was a nice activity. We used my phone to take pictures it helped me understand more how photography on iPhone work and learned a few tricks. I have 3-4 photos that I can post on my social media.

This was an amazing trip. We saw many spots and even had a simple hike for Train Wreck. We got amazing pictures and photography tips that turned out great. The falls were in all their glory.

I had a fabulous time snowshoeing at Cypress Mountain. Nafees was a very kind, accommodating and friendly guide who always checked on us and made sure that we were comfortable and not falling behind. Everything (e.g. entry tickets and snow shoes) were already organised beforehand so as soon as we arrived, we were able to set off. Nafees also shared some handy tips about Vancouver and showed us some great view points. Thanks Nafees for a wonderful time

Great experience in Lynn Canyon with Nafees! The place is absolutely beautiful (even in rainy weather) and Nafees a very good guide. Always ready to answer questions, attentive and passionate about his region and photography. Highly recommended!

This was such a great day trip, my best hiking trip to date. Nafees was the perfect guide! so knowledge about the area, the trails, not to mention his excellent photography tips. This was so stress free, we got picked up from our hotel, had multiple stops along the way to stretch our legs and get any additional snacks. Our group was perfect, not too big so we all got to know each other and we had such a good time. My friends can’t get over my photos from this hike. My husband and I really enjoyed seeing these breathtaking lakes and mountain views. The air, the scenery, pictures don’t do it justice compared to the in person immersive experience we had. Highly recommend this excursion and when I come back to Vancouver again, will definitely see if Nafees is doing any other hiking trips 🙂

Thank you so much Nafees for a wonderful hike! My partner and I joined Nafees and three others on the Garibaldi Lake hike and had a great time. Nafees ensures your safety and comfort throughout the hike and his tour runs like a well-oiled machine with plenty of advice and tips along the way (e.g. he gives you the option of carrying lots of water or relying on a top up from a waterfall along the way)! Nafees also has a great sense of humour and will be sure to relax you. I believe we took about 7.5 hours to complete the hike (11:30amish – 7pmish), with about 2 hours spent up at the lake as it was a beautiful sunny day. We also enjoyed learning some photography skills – we now know some hidden iPhone photography settings. Thanks Nafees!

This was a truly spectacular experience. Nafees was the PERFECT tour guide. He took us on an unforgettable journey, complete with stunning views and incredible insight into just about anything we wanted to know about Bowen Island or Vancouver in general. Nafees is an absolute professional and an incredible guide. Highly recommend this experience.

It was best hike ever in my life. It took almost 6-7 hours but it’s definitely worth it. This has to be the prettiest place I have ever seen. The hike can feel long as going to the middle lake is a lot of uphill walking and the hike to the upper lake and campground are more challenging as you are climbing through many Boulder gardens however you will be rewarded with the most speculative views. You may question the photos you see if they are real and I am telling you, the lakes are as blue and as gorgeous as you see in all the photos. We went earlier which was worth it as we did not encounter many crowds until our decent.

This trip with Nafees was superb. Particularly recommended for those who enjoy photography, hiking, nature, or fitness but anybody could enjoy the trip. The Joffre Lakes experience is visually stunning and just physically challenging enough to make the views feel well earned. Time flies by and you will find yourself wishing for extra hours in the day to stare at the landscapes! Nafees’ wealth of experience and charisma makes the tour feel more like an outing with friends. To any fellow introverts reading, give it a go.

Great experience with Nafees! He did a wonderful job guiding my friends and I on our hike up the Chief first peak. He took into account our amateur hiking experience and ensured we took a lot of breaks along the way. Nafees also gave us lots of good hiking and photography tips. Having him as our guide was very reassuring (I don’t think we would’ve made it to the top without him). Thank you Nafees!

The guided tour was amazing! Nafees was a wonderful guide and gave us many tips along the way. The Chief hike was challenging but he encouraged us to go at our own pace and made sure we were hiking in the safest way possible. The views were absolutely beautiful! and Nafees showed us all the good photo spots. Overall amazing experience and would highly recommend it!

Just book it already! Nafees tour was absolutely sensational. The view is incredible and the hike was a wonderful experience. Having an experienced hiker made this destination so much better and it was great getting to know Nafees. I learned more about other hikes across Canada and places to visit. I will definitely be back and will book a tour with Nafees on his other tours. It was a 10 out of 10!

A beautiful hike, well worth the effort to hike all three lakes. Astounding scenery! Our guide, Nafees, knew the terrain & provided so much knowledge about the area & great advice to capture what we saw to images we can enjoy for years to come.

It is the second time that I book an adventure with Nafees (Nature Photo Hikes), and I am happy to say that I really enjoy it. He takes care of everything during the hike, asking me how do I feel along the way to see if we can try harder paths or easier ones. He knows a lot about the hike trails and he adjusts to your walking pace. He just shared the photos he took during the hiking and I really like them! Overall, it is a nice experience, with great views, quiet places and overall a true nature photo hike! Looking forward to my next adventure with them!

I scheduled with Nafees last minute and he was able to accompany me for one hour. I appreciated that so much. During the tour, I got to learn so much about photography using my smartphone. All the tips and tricks that Nafees has taught me will be put in good use. Gastown was amazing. I feel safe walking around at night because Nafees is pretty much a native and he told me which neighborhood I should stay away especially at night. Overall, you will have a big bang for one’s bucks.

Phenomenal experience! Nafees was knowledgeable, well-prepared, and above all, fun! He did a great job catering to everyone’s skill sets and ensuring each person had a great experience. His knowledge of both the trail and traffic patterns allowed us to see areas we otherwise would have missed while avoiding the busiest times of the day – particularly at the second lake. I cannot recommend this experience enough!

The guide provided excellent tips on optimizing photo taking with my smart phone even though I didn’t have a camera. In addition to photo tips, the guide provided a mini-tour of Stanley Park — highlighting points of interest supported with interesting stories behind the points of interest.

I went to this experience mostly for the hiking in a beautiful location part, and being in a small group of people and it did not disappoint in that. This is a relatively long hike, but a good portion of it has such beautiful scenery and that alone motivates you to keep on going. Learned a ton of interesting facts about the region. Going with a group of people made it very fun as well.

A wonderful adventure! Even though we had to pivot our plans because of the flooding in Lake Garibaldi, I’m so happy we were still able to hike this beautiful region. We didn’t end up making it to the top of Panorama Ridge, but the 18 mile hike was more than worth it for the breathtaking scenery. Nafees is an extraordinary host. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced guide that is also super attentive and goes above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking more experiences with Nafees in the future.

I would highly recommend this activity with Nafees. He knows his way around a DSLR and teaches you tricks with your cell camera as well. He also knows the area very well and showed us several unique things we otherwise wouldn’t have noticed. He’s quick to switch cameras with you, so you get a photo or two of you and your people as well. My son and I really enjoyed this unique experience. And we’ve got the photos to prove how cool it was!

I’m so happy that took this experience. Thank you Nafees!! He is a great tour guide and wonderful person 🙏 he showed me many places around and even after our tour finished he took care of me and showed more ❤️ also I like the rhythm of the tour – you face time for everything but we also not wasting time. Just wonderful ❤️

The Garibaldi Lake hike was an amazing and unforgettable experience. The views were stunning. I can highly recommend this hike, and I will definitely book one of the others hikes that “Nature Photo Hikes” offers on my next visit to Vancouver. Nafees was very professional, friendly and informative. It was a pleasure to meet him. I wish him all the best.

A great experience! Thankful to have had someone to guide us along the way and give us lots of pointers and fun facts, as well as recommendations for other things to do in Vancouver. It was easier to pace ourselves on the hike and I was grateful Nafees brought extra hiking poles! He really thought of everything.

Nafees was great company, engaging and knowledgeable. Great communication prior to meeting up. There was no need to take the car, as we walked from ferry quay, straight onto nature trial. Excellent lunch in Snug cafe, although the wasps were a problem. They obviously found the food good as well! Highly recommended.

This was an amazing experience! I was not able to join the original Chief hike due to lower numbers the day of, but I was given an excellent substitute. Nash took us up to Joffre lakes and it was stunning. He took the time to get to know each of us. He also made sure to point out difficult parts during the hike and how we could easily do them. He took us to spots where there were less tourists. This was definitely an experience I will remember for a long time!

What an awesome tour. While most guides focus on man’s creations, Nafees emphasized the things that make Vancouver unique – in particular it’s beautiful natural setting. By the end of our day, I came away with a true appreciation for Vancouver, it’s people, and it’s beautiful location. If you can take only one tour of Vancouver, this should be the one!

Nafees took me to an island that most locals only have on their bucket list. There, he showed me the islands hidden gems — you will not believe the lightning tree! — and help you get the most out of whatever camera you are using. This was my fourth experience with Nafees, and I only regret that my trip does not allow me to take all of them!

Nafees was a great guide. We had a great day hiking and he made sure to make sure you got great photos and were safe along the way. He’s super friendly and enthusiastic and gave lots of interesting insights and stories about hiking and Vancouver in general. Overall, an awesome and unique experience!

Nafees is an absolutely wonderful guide. He brought us on a challenging hike where the views were so worth it. He encourages all to go at their own pace and gives tips along the way!

Nafees saved the day with my last minute Halloween photoshoot booking 🙂 The photos came out great, and Nafees was very accommodating to individal needs as well, highly recommend!

Our best day in Canada! Nafees took us to amazing spot after spot. His expertise in photography will improve my photo taking forever. He’s a great teacher! I highly recommend this tour or any tour with this guide. It was a wonderful day exploring Canada’s beauty.

Magical hikes with Nafees! The views on the hike absolutely breathtaking – Nafees knows all the good spots for amazing vistas – We learned so much from Nafees about hiking and the outdoors. He is knowledgeable, articulate, and tells amazing stories. – Our safety was prioritized. The group vibes were awesome!

Where is the 6-star button? Nafees was delightful, took me to a magical place, showed me tricks on my phone that I never would’ve found myself. He took me over, under, around and behind to find the greatest angles. Plus, he took some of the best photos of me and anyone had taken in years. It was an exceptional experience. That is why I have booked all of this host’s other experiences!

Nafees was an excellent communicator and knew some of the best spots to take nighttime images. He was considerate and cared for my safety and well being.. I have managed to produce some excellent images thanks to his tuition. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone wanting to produce great night shots of Vancouver.

The landscapes in this one are breathtaking, especially the “secret spots” Nafees takes you to. He also took great pics of us with his professional camera and sent them to us after the trip with no charge. Additionally, Nafees is an experienced tour guide who you will learn from a lot of technical tips how to hike uphill and downhill by avoiding injuries.

Such a wonderful experience – really recommend especially if you are travelling alone and dont want to hike by yourself (or have anyone to take pictures of you in these amazing locations!)

The tour with Nafees was super nice! The pick up super comfortable and the ride relaxed. The goal was beautiful and to do the hike well.

Wow, super nice day. My most beautiful hike so far. You can’t come to Vancouver and miss out on this activity with Nafees. I recommend him to all.

Another great experience with Nafees! I have noticed that all of my photos have gotten better since I have started going on his adventures. Thank you, Nafees!

Nafees is the perfect tour guide, he was not too chatty nor too quiet. He was great with the family and even took my 11 year old son to some places where others didn’t want to go. He loves nature and is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Our tour guide Nafees was wonderful, so friendly and informative. We went all over the place and he showed us so much of Vancouver. One part of the tour was quite strenuous, but he walked in the back and allowed us to pick our pace. Never once rushing us, always making sure we took rests and had plenty to drink. I would highly recommend this tour, as we both really enjoyed Nafees and seeing all the beauty that Vancouver had to offer.

The tour was absolutely phenomenal! Nafees was courteous, friendly, and professional. He was very accommodating and moved around his schedule on short notice to help us book the tour. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us so many photography tips both for DSLR and iPhone. We had great conversations and he even gave us input and tips on our plans for the last few days of our trip. We can’t wait to come back and hope to do a few more tours with Nafees.

Nafees was a fantastic hiking guide; there were three of us in the group and he explained all the steps, made sure we could traverse all the parts of the trail safely, and allowed everyone to go at their pace. The hike itself is quite challenging: 2.5 hours straight up (including some ladders, chains, and scrambling in places), then the same route down. The views were fantastic all the way through, and the panorama at the top is well worth the trek!

Nafees is an amazing tour guide and definitely an experienced hiker. I really appreciated his helpful and safe hiking technique tips, words of encouragement, and patience in keeping up with my pace on the Stawamus Chief Hike. The stairs section at the beginning of the hike was definitely the hardest part for me, but the views were gorgeous. Wouldn’t have gotten up those steps without Nafees’ encouragement and expertise!

Very nice experience walking through the forest and admiring the landscapes. Our guide was excellent. Very informative, took the photographs, very friendly and attentive with personalized treatment. Highly recommended!

Dressing up in layers decibel helps as you may be cold before you feel warm and parts of the way you may get wet so dress accordingly. Prepare to have the best view during lunchtime. It helps to bring lunch and some water. For inexperienced hikers, it will feel difficult to hike the last part but worth it once you reach the 3rd Lake!! Bug spray is a must!! Waterproof shoes helps and long socks a must to prevent bug bites. Above all don’t forget to have fun and take in the spectacular view!!!

Fun and easy going for everyone as Nafees teaches picture taking tips, even for those who usually shy away from the camera. We learned more about the features and techniques using our mobile phone cameras while enjoying the history and ambience of the places we visited. Moreover, we now have lots of amazing pictures to enjoy and share!

The hike to Joffre Lake was amazing from start to finish. Nafees planned the day with great understanding of what we would need to make it fun and memorable. He shared stories of his experiences hiking the area and adapted to our pace and interests for photos, swims, and the necessary walk on the log. We will happily hike with him again.

Nafees is very knowledgeable and accommodating. We had an awesome time, we highly recommend this excursion for anyone visiting Vancouver! Lynn Canyon is amazing! This experience was much more enhanced with Nafees as our guide.

Great experience. Nafees was very knowledgeable and very thoughtful with everyone in our group. Nafees provided great instructions for photography specific to everyone’s camera, skill and ability. He chose wonderful spots for photography. We enjoyed the tour and now have great night photos from Vancouver as well as tips and tricks for our future photos.

Really great experience, Joffrey lake is magical ! Nafees gave really good photography tips. Everything was well organised. One of the most beautiful hike I have ever done.

I loved the experience with Nafees. He shows you places you would not normally see as a tourist. I really enjoyed his company and he tells interesting stories. I can only recommend you this tour (and every other tour with him).

The Chief Hike at Squamish is a top hiking experience with an awesome 360 view of the beautiful lake! Thanks to Nafees for teaching me how to hike well! It was a really nice day trip!

Totally in awe with the natural beauty of the Joffre Lakes! It is a must go to place when visiting BC! Great to have an awesome guide like Nafees – as he gave very good tips on hiking and photography!

I booked this experience last minute and was surprised to learn that I was the only participant the day-off. Nafees was great at explaining some of the sites in Stanley Park and provided tips for capturing amazing photography using my smartphone. The 2 hours flew by in a jif and Nafees also dropped me off back at my hotel!

This hiking experience was amazing! Nafees made sure everybody was comfortable and safe. The views were spectacular and you will get a chance to swim or have a dip in the lake! You should definitely book this tour for an unforgettable experience!

An unforgettable experience, from the attention of the host as well as that magical place that we visited, a very safe activity that is worth living, we had a great time.

What an awesome experience! Nafees was a kind and fantastic guide. He was very accommodating to everyone’s needs and abilities. We didn’t hike to Garibaldi Lake because it was closed due to floods but did the hike to Panorama Ridge instead. The hike was still lots of fun and the views were spectacular! You should definitely book this tour for an awesome experience!

Having hiked Garibaldi and Joffrey with Nafees, I knew I was in good hands for this snowshoeing outing and he did not disappoint. Smooth and enjoyable as always. Highly recommend!

Due to weather I wasn’t able to do Ghiribaldi lake but Nafees was nice enough to let me join his tour to Joffre Lakes! It was a lot of fun, amazing views, and we took a lot of great pictures! Definitely recommend!

Nafees’ main priority is making sure you get the most out of this experience. He is flexible and very informative. He catered for everyone’s needs and it was a trip I won’t forget!

Nafees was an amazing guide. His knowledge of the area and of photography were amazing and he provided an incredible experience that we won’t forget. Definitely a worthwhile way to spend a day in Vancouver!!

It was such a great experience! I’m a beginner biker and was able to keep up no issue. Nafees was a great guide who showed us cool spots along the way. Highly recommend!

Nafees is a great guide! I’ve really enjoyed the hiking experience with him. He picked me up from where I’ve stayed and sent me back after the tour. I’ve booked two tours with him, a real expert of hiking in Vancouver.

We had a great time! a more challenging hike for sure, the views were amazing and Nafees was awesome as always.

A fabulous day for snowshoeing! We met some lovely people and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Cypress Mountain is a must when visiting Vancouver!

This was a great way to get outside of the city and see some of the lakes up north without having a car. If you are looking at doing this hike I’d recommend getting proper hiking boots and bring your rain jacket! The weather changes quickly.

Nafees was an excellent guide on the Bowen island tour. He was very instructive of the area and assisted me in some transit ideas for other trips. Should be a definite item on anyones list, who appreciates experiencing a different tour away from the main city area.

Nafees is a very nice gentleman. He tells you all the attractions you can do in Vancouver, where you can go and where it’s not recommended to go. During our trip, Nafees took all the photos and memories you want. I highly recommend this experience.

Magical hike & amazing guide. If you’ve done challenging hikes before, you will be fine. It is steep and there are some “technical” parts (ladders & chains). With the useful tips that Nafees gives you they are totally doable. Thanks for a great day.

Although we didn’t get the views we wanted from Cypress Mountain as it we had heavy fog it was still a great tour the hike was great and he took us to some other great sites .. nehee was very informative very helpful on the tour would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Vancouver.

Nafees is such a genuinely nice and knowledgable person and this trip is definitely worth it! He even took us up to Cypress Mountain to get a birds eye view of the city. Highly, highly recommend!

I had a great hike with Nafees. He knows the area well, made great conversation, and showed me a few new photography tricks along the way. Would definitely recommend taking one of his hikes.

This was a great experience. Our group had a mix of more and less experienced photographers and Nafees was able to cater to both and offer good suggestions and lots of practice time. Highly recommend.

Nafees was super accommodating, knowledgeable, and experienced. I’m not an experienced hiker so it was reassuring to have his guidance on navigating the tricky areas. Definitely wear grippy shoes and go slow.

Great experience! This was my second photography session with Nafees; I look forward to future events. Nafees points out the best angles and approaches to photographing subject matter. Highly recommend!

Nice park to walk, have a dip in the natural pool (very cold, but beautiful). Easy acces by bus and free entrance.

Nafees is an awesome guide, and this hike was absolutely amazing! It is a moderately challenging hike, but totally worth it for the stunning views.

100% would recommend Nafees and this experience! We had such a wonderful time and learned a lot. Exceeded our expectations.

Nafees was incredibly accommodating and friendly. We really enjoyed this tour and his enthusiasm in photography and nature. Thank you!!

Such a fun trip and Nafees is really knowledgeable about the area and ensures everyone is well prepared for the trip. Would absolutely book with Nafees again.

This tour was my favorite in Vancouver. Stanley Park is so beautiful, and learning about how to capture the gorgeous images is something I will use for the rest of my life. Highly recommend!

Beautiful place, excellent experience. I recommend it to anyone who goes to Vancouver and likes trails. Nafees knows the place well and knows the right moments to stop and provide a quiet trail.

Nafees was a great guide. It almost felt like our long lost cousin was showing us around in Victoria. We really enjoyed some amazing views with awesome storytelling.

Really enjoyed my time! This is for everyone who wants a special tour with secret spots and great storytelling! It‘s a very unique experience!

Excellent day. Really feel like I have a nice sense of Vancouver after today. Great locations for pics. Very nice and respectful. Thank you!

I thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. The trail was beautiful with view of a waterfalls. Nafees will ensure that you have a great time and you will leave with amazing pictures of the day.

I have joined this tour together with my friend. It was a quite interesting activity to do. Nafees is very friendly and have great personalities! We really enjoyed the whole tour! Thank you so much!

Fantastic day out! Nafees was a great guide through the beautiful and peaceful forests of Bowen Island. Also, lunch was absolutely delicious. Thanks Nafees! And I can wholeheartedly
recommend these tours to other travelers 🙂

Great guide, very friendly, knowledgeable, and ensures everybody is accounted for and happy! Great travel stories too!!

The tour was wonderful, the place is incredible, a spectacular nature. Nafees is an excellent guide, attentive, friendly. All excellent.

The snowshoeing was fun, the location beautiful, the host delightful. We had an excellent time and would recommend this trip to anyone.

Great fun day and Nash is a wonderful tour guide. Get off the crowded tourist path and appreciate all Vancouver has to offer.

Nafees was an incredible host! The hike was beautiful and I learned so much about photography and Vancouver. Highly recommend for solo travelers.

For anyone unsure about going on a tour alone: do it! Nafees is an excellent guide and gave me some great photography tips. I would 100% do another tour with him.

Nafees is experienced, professional, knowledgeable and kind. Had a great time, got fantastic pictures. We can’t wait to go snowshoeing again!

Amazing trip, great guide and fantastic views! Would highly recommend! The ascent was fun, steep but not too challenging.

Fantastic day and a wonderful guide. I would highly recommend. Beautiful scenery, great exercise, fab day all round.

I really enjoyed seeing the suspension bridge and all the greenery. It was a beautiful and serene experience I recommend.

The hike through the forest and the associated falls and rapids. Guide was excellent with pointers on taking photos.

Great time, awesome tour and guide. I’m happy we were able to visit local hidden spots. Would highly recommend. 5/5

Nash was great. It was a full day of fun. His knowledge of Vancouver is amazing. Especially Bowen Island.

Great experience! Brilliant tour guide! I was on my own (female 25) and it was great and I gained a lot of knowledge.

This was a great experience and made me feel like a little kid again. Definitely recommend!

Nafees was great. Very informative and helpful taking photos for us.

Wonderful experience! Nash was a great host, he’s knows a lot about places and history? He’s very kind.

Excellent experience I highly recommend it. Worth the trip.

If you’re in Vancouver visiting I 100% recommend.

Great Advice, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Nafees offered a great experience!

The tour was informative, fun and the sites were amazing. The guide is a photographer and took beautiful photos of us. We highly recommend this tour.

This was a great experience! I would definitely recommend if you would like to explore the Stanley Park area! Very friendly host 🙂

Straight forward hiking experience. Good guidance and good company. Friendly and thoughtful interactions. Great views.

Nafees is the man to see in Vancouver! He made our first trip to the city so special and was the highlight of our day. We can’t get over the pictures!

Wow it’s a magical place. I loved it. Thank you very much for everything, super delighted to know 5% of what Vancouver is.

Nafees was an excellent guide very thoughtful friendly and knowledgeable!!!!

It’s my second time with Nafees, and he is amazing, he really knows about the place and you can take awesome pics.

Everything really. The three extraordinary lakes, the waterfall, our wonderful guide. Totally worth it!

Nafees is a knowledgeable, helpful, awesome guide and a photographer. We recommend this hike to anyone.

Definitely something that should be seen while in Vancouver. Pretty low key spot for a quick day trip.

I had a great day with cool people and some amazing pictures for my photo album.

This was a great way to see Bowen Island. Although the weather was a bit damp and cloudy, the views were stunning. There were many opportunities for photos and I also had a tasty lunch.

Great escape from downtown. Full immersion into nature. Very much recommend!

Nafees took me places I’d walked by a dozen times before and showed me how beautiful they were and taught me secrets for capturing that beauty.

This is the most beautyful place that I have ever been in my life. It’s a dificult hiking but the landscapes are amazing.

Nafees is very knowledgeable and easy to learn from.

Great experience- highly recommend Nafees.

Long hike but worth the effort! Nafees kept us going!

Lovely way to start our stay in Vancouver!

Highly recommended.

Super experience.

Excellent experience.

10/10 recommend attending this experience, we learned so much about not only DSLR cameras but how to take a well composed photo on any platform.. my fiance is very good with cameras and I am admittedly a smartphone point and shoot kind of gal..Nafees somehow made it an enjoyable experience for both of us. it was also extremely appreciated that he did not just stop talking and walk away from us at 9:00 p.m., he truly wanted us to get the shot and you could tell he was willing to stay and teach us until we did. highly recommended!!!

I decided to book this tour since I had one extra day in Vancouver & friends had to leave. I was a solo female traveller & was completely comfortable. Nafees was super kind, helpful and showed me so many cool spots to take photos. I also learned so many tips & tricks for making my photos better. I used my iPhone and DSLR camera. We had a guest who had a disability and Nafees was so sweet and made sure he was comfortable ❤️ He made sure to build in lunch on the Whistler patio, washroom breaks and rest when needed. It’s not a super intense hike but he met us at our level. I am so happy I went on this tour & would highly recommend. It truly was a perfect bucket list day!!! He is also a rockstar driver on windy roads!!! If I return to Vancouver I would definitely book another tour.

We had a lovely time with our guide. We saw many of the most classic sights of Vancouver without having to rent a car and figure out the itinerary, but mostly, we were guided to the best spots. We also learnt some stuff regarding photography, despite the fact that we’re not complete beginners. This was a great bonus. Some in our group were not fast walker, but the guide made sure we didn’t miss anything despite this issue. Overall, a very positive experience.

If you are in Vancouver you can not miss this magical place. The views from the bridge are wonderful and the subsequent visit inside the park with its trees and forest is lovely. The height of the forest is impressive. Perfect lighting.

This experience was awesome. Nafees was both a guide and to some extent a tutor as I’ve never done any night time photography before. I had a great time and I’ll be going home with some great memories and photos too!

Absolutely amazing views even in a rainy day. The hike was a bit challenging, but Nafees was super friendly, happy to help and experienced instructor. I definately recommend it for an exciting escape from the city.

Wow- what an incredible day! My friend and I were in town a day early for a conference and decided to enjoy our time with this tour. Nafees was so incredible, friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure we were all comfortable and the pace was perfect for our group. Learned some awesome photography tricks as well. Lynn canyon is absolutely gorgeous!

What a fantastic adventure for my daughter and I. It was our first time snowshoeing and was a great educational opportunity for my daughter (DSLR) and both of us (IPhones.) Nafees is so knowledgeable and friendly and the scenery was amazing. Definitely a highlight of our Pacific Northwest trip!

Nafees took us on a magical hike to see some breathtaking sceneries. He is thoughtful, experienced, and very passionate about exploring nature and photography. I definitely recommend his tours and will certainly go on other adventures with him in the future myself.

Worth it, every minute – I loved this tour. Nafees is the perfect combination of professional and friendly. I felt like I was spending the day with a close friend, but at the same time with a knowledgeable guide to make the experience safe and secure.

Absolutely fantastic photo tour! I learned a lot about Gastown, Chinatown & my own camera! Nafees is brilliant and I’d definitely do another photo tour. As a solo traveller, I also appreciated having the balance between getting to take photos and also having my photo taken. Thank you Nafees 🙂

Nafees is a great guide, he is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, friendly and he adjusts easily to the level of the participant(s). I learned a lot about evening photography from this really nice man!

It was the most amazing hiking experience. Nafees is super knowledgeable about everything and a very easy going guide. I definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a special customized experience with a local guide.

Super fun tour and Nafees was super knowledgeable.

Purchased the experience for a friend- she had such an incredible day! Nafees was super knowledgeable and easy to communicate with! She had an unforgettable and unique experience.

We have had a great time. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience snow in the mountains. Nafees is a great story telling, great person, very kind.

I have done two of the picture tours with Naf, over the past few weeks. Originally they were purchased last October as a gift experience. He was incredible with working around my schedule, as life got in the way initially. Naf was fabulous at explaining the basics, using my camera to show, then having me take the photos. The explanations were clear with the “why it works’, and ‘how to get it to work better’. He expanded with deeper knowledge as my understanding expanded. The sights used were great and very enjoyable to walk through and take photos of. He explained and showed how picture composition is as important as how to take the photo. I’ll be taking more picture learning hikes/ tours. He has a number of different tours with the corresponding camera/photo lessons. I learned what I had been doing wrong for years, but more over I now know how to fix those ‘oops’ moments for the future. Back to the airshow!! for better photos, all angles and lighting. He showed how to take four-ish good photos not just ten or twelve and hope for the best. Thanks Naf, looking forward to the next picture adventure & lesson(s)!!

Nafees was seriously the best tour guide ever. He picked us up right from our AirBnB location and drove us up to Cypress Mountain for our snow. He was extremely accommodating! He booked the tour privately for us and kept the secret that I’d be proposing! We messaged on the side and picked out a beautiful secluded location for engagement photos! He took wonderful photos, brought bird seeds to feed the birds, and was super nice and funny! We will definitely be back in Vancouver, and we will definitely be booking a future tour with Nafees when we do! Thank you soooo much!!! :))))

SUCH a wonderful experience! Nafees is a great guide and instructor, and generally a lovely person to spend the hike with. He was mindful of our interest and physical capabilities throughout the day. We learned great tips for both phone and DSLR cameras and ended up with a beautiful gallery of shots. Definitely worth the cost, especially with the group rate.

Lovely snow mountain hike tour with Nafees! Not too challenging but still fun and a good workout:) Amazing views at the mountain top perfect for some photo time. Looking forward to be back again and do another hiking with Nafees.

My partner and I joined Nafees on a night photography tour through Gastown, Vancouver. My partner is a hobby photographer who brought his DSLR camera and I participated with my Smartphone. Although we are at different levels in our understanding of photography, we both really benefited from the experience. Nafees will teach you how to handle your cameras and improve on what you already know. He was super helpful and proactive with everyone in our group and explained to us the principals and composition to help frame a better photograph. As well as helping us in learning to take professional quality photographs, Nafees offered to take a few beautiful pictures of my partner and I for our memories of our fantastic evening. On a side note: he was very cautious about COVID-19 safety measures, too. We really enjoyed our time and definitely recommend a tour with Nafees.

Nafees was super welcoming and friendly! My partner and I had a fun time with him and felt really comfortable to take as many pictures as we wanted and play in the snow. He also picked us up at our Airbnb, which was very convenient. Nafees also told us a lot about Vancouver and recommended a great restaurant (The flying pig). I recommend this tour to everyone who’s up to an adventure with a super nice guide and ready to be amazed by beautiful landscapes. Be prepared to walk a lot and have lots of fun! Thank you for the great time, Nafees!

My husband and I had the most AMAZING time with Nafees. He was not just such a knowledgeable guide and great conversationalist, he went the extra mile to make the experience a special one for my husband who celebrated his birthday this weekend. The hike itself was easy (a little scary for me going downhill with small rocks, but still pretty manageable), the views were fantastic, and we even got to hand feed birds at the top, like we were in a Disney movie, haha. Nafees also did a really good job of pointing out cool photo spots for us. All in all, I would highly recommend this experience. It was hard to think about how to make it better.

Nafees went beyond what was expected—from the email exchanges, coordinating a date that worked for me, and keeping me informed. Nafees picked me up at the hotel at the exact time he said he would. He is a great driver, and I felt safe. The other guest from Germany and I had different cameras, and Nafees was very knowledgeable in both our brands and gave us precise instructions and customized to both our levels of understanding of photography. As for the hiking, he always made certain we were safe and took us beyond the regular tourist places. Nafees is natural, open-minded, flexible, friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you, Nafees, and Domenic for making this an amazing and memorable moment of my birthday week celebration.

We had so much fun on our nature walk and photography tour! Nafees took us to Lynn Canyon Provincial Park and we learned so much about photography on both a mirrorless camera and an iPhone. He is super knowledgeable about photography, Vancouver, and is in general really easy to talk to. This was one of the highlights of our trip and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a half-day hiking and educational adventure! He tailors the hike for the group (fitness levels and hiking experience) and took us to some amazing viewpoints.

This was by far the highlight of our trip to British Columbia. Nafees is clearly an experienced hiker. He was engaging and very attentive to the group’s needs and provided many insightful feedbacks during the hike. Everything went smoothly: the weather was perfect, barely no traffic, the view from the mountain was breathtaking and the other group members were friendly and charming. We were in good hands after all! Thank you Nafees for this memorable, wonderful experience! 🙂

Absolutely stunning! What an incredible hike to do. Tough going in places but so worth it! From the fabulous glacial lakes to the roar of waterfalls you just cannot get better. Advice would be to start early as the trail gets busier during the day. Bring a light towel as there is nothing like standing in glacial water to revive the feet! But be warned it’s freezing!!!

This airbnb experience with Nafees exceeded my expectations. We did two hikes which had spectacular ocean views and beautiful forest landscape. Nafees was easy to talk to and catered the experience to my personal physical level. And he took some pretty amazing photos. Im already looking forward to booking with Nafees on my next trip to Vancouver!

Wonderful experience on Bowen Island. Nafee is a great host with a lot of knowledge about the area and photography. He made sure we enjoyed ourselfs and considered the different skills and interests. We had great conversations while exploring the island. The tour itself was an easy hike, suitable for all levels. Thanks for the fun times!

Nafees is a wonderful host, he is gracious and accommodating. We appreciated his willingness to share one of his cameras, give us a personal tour of Stanley Park, and even picked us up and dropped us back to our hotel. We left much more knowledgeable about photography, Vancouver and life in general, not to mention a bundle of amazing photos!

Fabulous experience! So much more than I expected. Nafees is a great teacher, able to meet everyone at their skill level. He was willing to take time both with hiking and photography. A relaxing way to spend the day. Fun way to meet like-minded people. Absolutely delightful! Highly recommend.

Great way to see Joffre Lakes! You will definitely see more than going on your own! Paced really well to enjoy enough time over the different viewpoints & avoid crowds. Nafees is friendly & very patient, while keeping the day structured enough that you get to see a lot. Easy pick up/ drop off. Thanks so much!

Nafees was a great guide, told really interesting stories, and had a ton of hiking knowledge on our experience! Joffre lakes was so beautiful, and he was able to take us to other parts of the trail that we would not have found otherwise which had spectacular views. Would highly recommend!

Nafees was very knowledgeable about photography and taught us some really cool tricks on our phones that made the pictures looked way more elevated and professional. My husband and I had a great time. And now my husband can easily take some amazing pictures of me, thank you!

Nafees was a congenial and thoughtful guide on a charming tour of Bowen Island. He showed care in our safety and that we were enjoying ourselves and having a great ferry and island experience. He has a great sense of humor and I got the impression he enjoys what he does.

Book this experience! Specially if you don’t have a lot of time and you want a good idea of the city plus the knowledge of Nash in photography was really helpful. I can’t wait to put it in practice. Thank you Nash for such an amazing time, your kindness and caring service.

Our guide Nafees was great. We are avid hikers and wanted to improve our camera skills and this tour was perfect. Nafees is very knowledgeable about cameras and the area. I would definitely do another tour with him. We came home with some beautiful photos.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience. He was super accommodating and helped us get the best out of the trail. He knew the spot super well. He allowed us to get some neat scenic video and photos. You have to book with him or else you risk missing out.

We really enjoyed this experience with Nafees! We learned various iPhone photography techniques to help us take better pictures and Nafees took some beautiful pictures of us as well! 10/10 would recommend.

This was a great tour for beginner photographers. Nafees is very knowledgeable and great at explaining his skill. Definitely learned a lot and was a great afternoon trying something new! thanks you!

Awesome experience – I had one day off in Vancouver and no rental car. Nafees picked me up from the hotel and led myself and one other guest on an awesome hike. thank you sir!

Nafees is an excellent guide! he explains everything very clearly and takes you to some great locations. I’m really happy with my pictures and very much recommend this tour.

Nafees’ Gastown and Chinatown experience was GREAT. Nafees is very personable and makes you feel at ease. He has a wealth of knowledge about photography and shared tips on composition, exposure, and techniques for getting the best shots. I felt very safe, as a solo traveler. He timed the walk to get the best light for some incredible night time photos. I’m so glad he has this tour, since I’m sure I wouldn’t have found all the photographic spots nor would I have attempted night time photography alone. I would not hesitate to book with Nafees again. Awesome experience!

Highly recommended if you are visiting BC and looking for an amazing hiking experience with a hiking expert tour guide 🙂 It was so much fun with Nafees and other travelers. Nafees is very knowledgeable about hiking and the city, and also an entertaining and funny storyteller, so u will definitely enjoy the time. He was also kind that he picked up and dropped off all the travelers at places where each of us was staying 🙂 It is a long hike, but when you get to the top, the view is really rewarding. Thank you for an amazing experience 🙂

I really loved the whole trip! It was an amazing experience starting when we met to take the bus to the ferry. He was really friendly but also professional, always giving golden nuggets along the way. He is really knowledgeable, both in photography and hiking, he always check if you are doing well, makes sure that you have enough water during the hike and takes you to some amazing spot for photos. I will definitely book more tours with him! Thank you very much for creating an amazing experience for me.

Simply amazing! This was my second hiking tour with Nafees and he set the bar high after our first. His knowledge of the trails and experience in hiking allowed us to all have such an unforgettable excursion. His care for all of us and our different levels of experience was much appreciated. As a bonus his photography skills allowed us all to capture this truly memorable experience. Can’t recommend this enough. And can’t wait to go back and book more tours with Nafees. Simply the best!!

Absolutely an incredible and intense experience hiking to Garibaldi Lake! Nafees made it so carefree, gave us a list of recommended items to bring, picked up and dropped off each guest at their accommodations and took care of park entry passes. He took amazing pictures of the cool and kind group of women on my hike. If you want to feel taken care of during your experience this is the experience for you!

What a great tour! We’ve lived in Vancouver for over 5 years now and Nafees made us fall in love with Gastown all over again! He’s super knowledgable and you can feel his passion for photography with every piece of advise and techniques he shows. Best date night activity, Nafees was very thoughtful, kind and we would highly recommend anyone new or old to the city to do it!

It was the best way to finish my trip to Vancouver. Nafees showed me the best views of Vancouver and we took incredible pics of the sunset and night. A good conversation during the way, hearing interesting stories about Vancouver and Nafees passion for photography. It was awesome learn a little bit with him! My photos will be so much better now! Thanks Nafees!

We had a great experience with Nafees! From the hotel pickup to the ferry ride to the amazing tour and photography tips! It was a fun way to learn something new, get some exercise in, and meet new people. Nafees was wonderful to learn from and had lots of amazing travel and photography stories to share. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Vancouver!

Nafees was an absolute rockstar of a guide. He was great at explaining where we were going on the way, adapting to the levels of hiking ability to everyone on the trip and supported with taking pictures and walking us through the day. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone looking to appreciate nature and gain some new friends. AMAZING TRIP AND GUIDE!

The hike to Garibaldi lake was one to remember. You get to see amazing views of the glaciers and turquoise water. Nafees’ guidance helped a lot in getting acquainted with the area and gave us useful tips. I joined the group as a solo traveler, and got to enjoy the hike feeling safe and carefree. I definitely recommend this experience!

The tour was better than I expected as a tourist to Vancouver with limited knowledge. Nafees explained areas of Stanley Park in detail, and took me around to show me the park in length. We also saw English Bay and the beach was beautifully explained by Nafees. Overall I learned a lot and had a wonderful time exploring this park!

This was my second hike with Nafees. I came solo and met 3 others in the hiking group. We were all very well taken care of. Weather was great, and we had a wonderful day hiking to and then relaxing at Garibaldi lake. Once again 5/5 stars. Highly recommend Nature Photo Hikes – Nafees is a warm and wonderful guide and photographer.

Had a fantastic time on hiking with Nafees and exploring the beautiful Joffre lakes. Knowledgable guide who knows the area well and had funny stories to share. He also brought hiking poles as I requested them, was mindful of the pace, and took great photos to capture the day. Enjoyed the experience so much that I booked another hike.

Nafees is great as always. This was my second hike with him. He is very knowledgeable about Vancouver and will give great advice for your trip. When I’m back in Vancouver, I will definitely do another hike with him – perhaps something a bit more challenging 🙂

Incredible day! Exceeded expectations!! Nafees was amazing! Expert hiking guide and amazing photographer. Took us to amazing sites most tourists would skip. Also timed our trek perfectly to get the best lighting for photos and to avoid the tourist lines. So much knowledge and care for his guests. Highly recommend!

This was such an amazing, challenging, and rewarding experience!! I would definitely recommend it, I have never seen anything like Garibaldi Lake before – this is probably the most beautiful place I’ve been so far. Nafees was a great host, super friendly and very knowledgeable of the hike itself. Thank you 🙂

Absolutely love the hike and the scenery were absolutely breathtaking!! Nafees was very knowledgeable providing not just photography tips but hiking as well. He is also a very great storyteller. Thank you Nafees for this experience!

This tour was amazing! I have no words to explain the views we got to witness – the group I was part of, we became really great friends! Nafees also took several breaks with me as I found the hike challenging, and was incredible with showing how to capture the views and taking pictures!

First time snowshoeing and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Nafees was super knowledgeable and provided us with helpful tips along the way. the trail and views were incredible as well!

Nafees did a phenomenal job of guiding us around the city! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, but he knew the best photo spots and how to take excellent photos as well! A great night out!

I purchased this experience as a gift for a friend who had recently gotten a camera and didn’t know how to use it to its maximum potential. She was very happy about the session and learnt a lot. I recommend this experience!

I had a great time! I would recommend this to anyone – solo or not.

Meet cool local dude to do normal local things together. How can you go wrong?

The tour guide was great and I learned a lot of photo capturing with my iPhone. He was also flexible. Recommend him.

Excellent Nafees from attention, great experience.

It was fun we learned something magical about photography from the moment we met. I would definitely recommended this to anyone to take it you’ll really have a nice time that’s assured with great locations and recommendations.

I & my friend had a blast with Nafees doing the Garibaldi hike. Very well organized. I literally just had to leave my hotel at the right time in the morning and everything else was taken care of after that. The hike itself was great and went really well. Love BC.

Such an amazing experience!!! My partner surprised me with this tour for my birthday, and I can safely say that this has been the best birthday yet! We met Nafees in an easily accessible location and then took transit to the ferry. All throughout the tour he was friendly, informative, and shared stories of his many travels. He took amazing photos of us and of the island landscape – absolutely beautiful! The tour itself wasn’t rushed in anyway; Nafees allowed us to take as much time whenever and wherever we wanted to. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who loves to be outdoors. It was truly amazing and I can’t wait to go back!

The tour was really great!! Nash was a good tour guide and he had a good knowledge of Bowen island as well as Vancouver area. We shared lot of stories and he showed me lot of beautiful parks. Moreover, I discovered a nice restaurant in the village and the food was excellent especially the soup and bread. Moreover, he took good pictures of me and the quality is excellent! I can literally say it was much better than I was expecting and I wish to have Nash as a tour guide again. It’s thanks to him if I really enjoyed my visit on Bowen Island!!

It was a pleasure to have Nafees for guide. He’s been mindful customizing the experience to my interests and pace, sharing his knowledge not only of Bowen Island but of quite a few useful facets of Vancouver and surroundings. Thank you for a wonderful day in Nature.

I highly recommend this hike to anyone wanting to learn a little bit more about photography. The host was fantastic, super friendly and easy to get along with and the views were gorgeous!! I will definitely be booking again for further trips!

It was a great experience to learn basics of photography in the coolest neighborhood of Vancouver. Nafees is a fun host and I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to get a head start with their photography. Cheers!

We enjoyed everything about this experience. Nafees was knowledgeable about Bowan Island and photography. He was respectful of all Covid protocols and certainly would return to go on other tours with him.

Loved booking the experience with Nafees, he did an excellent job in teaching us basic photography. He was very patient and made everything look easy and fun. Would highly recommend!

Nafees is a very good host and also a brilliant teacher! I would highly recommend this experience!

Nafees was an excellent guide, teacher and all round great guy. He showed us some really cool spots, while teaching us a lot about photography. He gives great tips about the camera settings and some techniques to get the best out of night time photography. He also took some great photos of us on his camera and sent them to us within 24hrs. Would highly recommend to anyone new to Vancouver, or to someone looking to learn more about night time photography.

Great experience in Gastown! Nafees is a dedicated and kind teacher who definitely loves photography! We were 2 for the event and he made sure to personalize our experience! We highly recommend 🙂

Wonderful excursion! We loved all. Most of all we loved to learn how to use our cameras and taking pictures. The guide and his passion for nature allowed us to get to see wonderful spots! We loved this activity ❤

Amazing, definitely recommend it.

Nafees is a very knowledgeable person and was very generous in his explanations. I really enjoyed my tour and would recommend it to any one who wishes to improve their photographer skills.

I had an absolute great experience. The hike was beautiful. I quite enjoyed the stories Nafees told throughout the tour.

Nice half day tour, beautiful scenery and a good hike to the peak. Nafees was excellent. Very enjoyable.

Awesome experience, highly recommend.

This was THE BEST hike experience I’ve ever done. Nafees is an expert and he really cares for your well being along the way. Constantly check ups to ensure everyone is doing well and gave us some amazing tips for photography. Nafees really went above and beyond for our hike! I would 100% recommend. I could have never done this on my own. Thanks Nafees!

I had such a great time on a hike at Lighthouse Park with Nafees. He has a very friendly spirit and has a beautiful passion for the outdoors and photography. It was so great to learn photography tricks from him, and I was pleasantly surprised and appreciative for the bonus of him taking some beautiful photos of me and my friend. Would highly recommend!

I loved taking this tour with Nafees, he went beyond what I expected. I loved the hike, pictures and insight about those places and Vancouver in general. He made everything very comfortable from picking me up to the hike, stories, conversation and drop off. I will definitely book again with him in my next trip to Vancouver.

Nafees was a great host for this experience. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and a great teacher. I was a total novice and he taught me a lot of tips and tricks for night time photography with ease. He knows where to get really shots and will help you get the shots you want. I highly recommend this experience.

Beautiful Vancouver, nice place. Friendly and professional guide. He took us to all the “must see” Vancouver attractions.

Nafees is a hiking expert and he made us feel hiking an easy thing to do. At first I was hesitant to do hiking but with his encouragement I was able to do it. The hike was relaxing and comfortable. He communicates well and knows how to handle different situations. We had photoshoots as well. Thanks Nafees for your encouragement to do hiking and for taking us to a paradise park.

I had a wonderful time hiking Stawamus Chief! The scenery was beautiful and I made new friends on this experience. Nafees is an amazing host! I learned some useful hiking tips and cool new iPhone tricks from him. He also took lots of photos for us! I’d highly recommend this experience!

Nafees was so personable & was really attentive to us! He assessed our skill level & gave us a great experience. He seems to know so much about his craft. Genuinely nice tour guide. Would love to book with him again when we come back to Vancouver 🙂

Thank you so much for a fantastic once in a life time experience! We loved the hike and the views from Stawamus Chief. We would not have been able to do this alone or without all of the tips and guidance you provided along the way. I highly recommend Nafees for tours, very knowledgeable, phenomenal photographer and had so much insight about the world. Thank you very much, we can’t wait to return to Vancouver for more adventures!

Thank you so much Nafees! keep doing what your doing, it is so refreshing being on a tour with someone as passionate for photography as you! The pics of us were great too, a date night we won’t forget!

Trip was nice and interesting. Beautiful places and interesting insights from Nafees. Nafees also showed few helpful tricks and advises for picture taking – both color and composition. Overall was great!

Nafees knowledge of the trails in and around Vancouver is excellent. This is the second time my family has gone hiking with him and will definitely will go on another when I’m back in BC.

Nafees is a great host. He is genuinely caring and has a lot of knowledge of photography. He took beautiful pictures and shared many tips and tricks to take great shots. I look forward to another event with Nafees in the future.

Nafees is a great guide. This one is a good experience to learn new tricks in photography. I have zero knowledge in taking shoots and Nafees also help me to set up my camera to be more user friendly.

If you’re looking for a great first trip to Bowen Island, look no further. We had a lovely time wandering the trails, learning about the basics of photography, and exploring the town!

Nafees is a wonderful guide – incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us tips of his favourite spots on Bowen Island and was super accommodating about how we spent the day. Highly recommend!

I’d definitely recommend this experience! Nafees is really knowledgeable about the area and of great help to help u get that great shot. He’s super nice and fun to hike around with.

Nafees is a great guide and even better person. He gives a lot of helpful tips during the hike and knows all the good trails. I would join him again on a hike. Thanks Nafees.

I enjoyed every minute of the tour. From the car ride and the storytelling, to the hike and learning photography skills. Everything was great. Absolutely great experience!

Got to see lots, and learned some photo tips. Enjoyed the day, and recommend this for anyone, but good for those who like to take photos. Really good tips learned. Thank you.

It was a wonderful day 💛 thank you so much Nafees for the beautiful energy, all the pictures and advices that you gave all day. Definitely a good experience!

Nafees is a great tour guide/host. He took us to some amazing views and his lesson on taking photos helped me take some beautiful photos!

We enjoyed it a lot. The beauty of BC is just stunning. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Amazing time outdoors when hiking and taking pictures.

We really enjoy our tour. Learned new things and how to use our cell camera to the fullest. Thank you!

Great experience overall – gave decent pointers on photography and some must see areas to visit after the tour. For me, it was hiking trails that I wanted to hit.

Great experience! Nafees had some great insights and locations! Highly recommend! Got some amazing photos.

This was an all round great adventure. Nafees made sure we were equipped and ready to tackle the day. Was fortunate to meet some great travellers too.

Nafees is an excellent and thoughtful guide that offered good tips, had a well thought out itinerary.

Nafees was incredibly easy going and made me feel safe and comfortable during our walk through downtown Vancouver.

Amazing experience in BC! Great for if you’re unfamiliar with the area.

Excellent walking route and great photography tips along the way!

Wonderful experience. He is very genuine and flexible.

Amazing Tour Guide and Views!

Amazing activity!

Nafees was very thorough in his night photography class. He taught a lot about the basics on how to use the camera and he allowed us to get the most out of our shots. Super friendly host and would definitely recommend it to any people who loves photography or wants their pictures taken! Thank you Nafees 🙂

Wonderful little day trip. Beautiful scenery. Learned a couple of useful camera tricks. Nafees is very personable and makes you feel quite welcome. Looking forward to checking out his other guided tours in the future.

Had a great day with Nafees. Lots of tips on picture taking and he took lots of time with us to find a wide variety of photo subjects.

Nafees led a great hike! I learned so much about photography and the breaks made the climb a lot less daunting!

This hike was amazing with beautiful views and mini obstacles that made it challenging! Nafees was the best guide! Great communication before and throughout the trip, very knowledgeable, and took wonderful photos. I would definitely recommend this experience to any and all visitors who want to get out to Squamish for a day trip!

Nafees was incredible; he was really knowledgeable about photography and hiking. I would recommend it to everyone!

Nafees was fantastic on all levels. He was very prepared and insightful throughout the experience. His photography tips are unique, helpful and easy to understand. He made sure that we all felt comfortable and got the attention that we needed. He promotes a health group dynamic where it felt like we’ve know each other for years. I loved every minute of it. I can’t recommend him enough.

I highly recommend this experience. Nafees is a cool lad with a lot of knowledge on the outdoors in BC and surrounding areas. I also learned a lot about photo taking. Bowden island is a beaut! Cheers

It was definitely the best tour I’ve ever joined. The view was stunning, the group was nice and engaging, and I learned new photography skills! I’d like to join a different tour of his in the future for sure!

Nafees is very knowledgable. He taught photography and shared lots of info about the flora and fauna of the region. Had an awesome trip and the pics which he had taken were really good!

All hike was amazing! We enjoy a lot! Nafees is really perfect guide! I recommend for 100%! Also the weather was very good!!!

I’m a 50 year old woman and I had the pleasure of going on this photo/hiking adventure with Nash a week ago! I had an amazing time, saw some incredible sites, Nash gave me some really valuable tips around photo composition and also showed me how to properly use my SLR Nikon camera… I was a bit hesitant at first about going on my own with a stranger for a week but Nash was truly great! Very professional, I felt safe and he got me to hike some incredible trails!! The Parker Ridge trail, just out of Jasper was my favorite!! Thank you Nash!

Nafees is such an amazing person. He is very considerate and patient with his guests, most of all the best tour guide I’ve ever met. He’s very knowledgeable and passionate with travelling. He does not let a dull moment during the tour and also connected people. The itinerary was really great and flexible, lets you see the key places and breathtaking sceneries. Aside from that, he took really awesome photos and even taught us how to take photos better. It was indeed a fun, memorable and awesome trip. Kudos!

I had such a good time on this photography hike with Nafees! He is a very friendly, warm, and personable host with lots of good photography tips. The group felt at ease and I enjoyed meeting the new people on the tour. 10/10 a great intro to my stay on Bowen Island and I would absolutely do another of Nafees’ tours!

Great time and great pictures! It was amazing! I had a great time at the park. It is a beautiful place, easy hike, waterfalls, and the guide Nafees was really friendly and made the adventure even more interesting with his knowledge about the park and the wonderful pictures he took! I definitely recommend it.

Me and my boyfriend had such an amazing day out with Nafees, it was so much fun. Nafees was very easy to talk to and has incredible photography skills and taught us how to use both our camera and iPhones more effectively which we really appreciate! Highly recommend!

Nafees was an amazing host. He gave some neat tips on taking photos with cellphones that I never would have thought to find out about myself. He had very diverse knowledge set on the history of the Vancouver area and it made the experience that much better!

A fantastic experience! He really adapts to your level of expertise and knowledge. You get some great photos and a good little look at a part of Vancouver. It was the introduction to photography that I’ve been looking for for years.

I’ve been hiking with Nafees many times over the last 3-4 years. Each hike or trip is a wonderful experience full of special and fun moments. I’m following his page continuously, as I don’t want to miss the next event. 🙂

Excellent hike and guide. It was very easy to keep up with Nafees and he helped every step of the way. The view of the sound from the top is definitely worth seeing.

Nafees was very knowledgeable and thorough in explanation. It is worth to explore experience with Nafees. Thank you Nafees!

It’s a great tour through out the Stanley park.

This is my second time doing a guided hike tour with Nafees and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to spend the whole day with. This was the highlight of my stay in Vancouver. Once again he was very patient, kind, and a wonderful person overall with many interesting stories to share. He is so passionate about nature and photography; I’ve learned so many techniques about macrophotography in such a short period of time that I will take with me forever. It was only Nafees and I on this particular trip and it was like catching up with an old friend, I felt very comfortable. I will always do a guided hike with Nafees when I am in Vancouver!

Saw more this day than expected! Nafees picked us up and brought us to: Lynn Creek, North Vancouver, Stanley park, Sunset beach and Gastown. I am glad that I did this tour as I have now seen places of Vancouver that I otherwise wouldn’t have. I only stayed in Vancouver for a few days and this tour made these days valuable! Nafees is an interesting guy who can give you a lot of tips/tricks about photography and he is not shy to share his stories with you.

Nafees was great. He had so much information related to Stanley park, it’s history and the way it was designed. He provided me with lots of history and background information (which was amazing to know) about the First Nation and totem poles. Though it was raining and cold he was determined to do his job till the very last minute. I really enjoyed the 3 hours tour and I highly recommend it.

We enjoyed snowshoeing very much. We took pictures squirrels and birds at the top of mountain. And we had a photo session, he told us how to use the camera well and how to shoot interesting with the iPhone. We were able to take beautiful photos that we have never taken before. We laughted a lot with those photos.

The experience was great! The host is very kind, responsible and cheerful! In addition to the activity, the photos are stunning. The route may seem like an intermediate level but Nafees motivates you to overcome any obstacle. I felt very safe!

Was a wonderful trekking experience! Nafees knew the entire territory well, he cared deeply and did a fantastic job sharing lots of personal stories and experiences in Vancouver, all over Canada and the world as he’s also an avid traveller.

I’ve been to Vancouver a few times and this day has shown me new things in places I’ve been. Nafees was super attentive in making sure everyone was getting good pics of themselves or showing people how to use their camera. Thanks for the incredible day!

In spite of rain, Nafees taught me a lot about perspective and composition, and most interestingly using rain puddles to reflect aspects of your shot. A great experience!

Really enjoyed the sight-seeing experience, particularly the hike to the waterfall. Great way to see the key highlights of the city and get some good photos.

Great day out enjoying the stunning scenery and learning to snowshoe. Nafees was accommodating of my needs to finish promptly and helpful with supplying his own guest pictures of me in a google file (which my parents loved -thanks)

It was a great tour! We learned a few really useful photography tips, had a great walk around the forest of Bowen Island, the day was gorgeous and our tour guide very knowledgeable and fun! We really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommended!

Day was great! Beautiful place and definitely worth the hike up. Got a lot of great photos as well! Would totally do it again!

Thank you for your enthusiasm, let me fully experience Stanley Park, and also left a lot of wonderful photos and memories!

Great beginner/intermediate level hike with amazing views! A fun day trip from the city!

I’m very grateful to Nafees. I had the opportunity to attend Lynn Canyon Park, which was organized by him. What a wonderful experience. Nafees shared his wide-spread knowledge with us. I learned a lot: not only about Vancouver and surrounding – we went through so many topics – our life experiences & views, politics, economics, etc. Nafees contributed with many interesting facts. I really enjoyed to have such an enriching conversation! Also he was eager to share his skills in nature photography and he explained how to use the several cameras/smartphones in an optimal way for taking amazing pictures. A friendly, good-hearted and trustful person – this is my impression of Nafees. Again: I’m very grateful that I got the chance to meet him. Dear Nafees, it was a pleasure to meet you! THANK YOU so much for the wonderful time!

This was my first ever Airbnb experience and I was thrilled to experience it with my best friend and her infant son, as a surprise! Nafees was AMAZING and instantly friendly so we felt welcome and comfortable. He is an expert, knowing all the best spots and landmarks where we took the photos. We did mostly a photo shoot but I did learn more about how to take the perfect shot, although I’m very amateur at photography. You can’t beat the value with this experience!! I highly recommend and will definitely do it again when I’m in town. Thank you Nafees!!

I have done two hikes with this tour company and they were both so much fun, but the snow shoeing photography tour was my favorite by far. Nafees is one of the best tour guides I have ever had in Vancouver! The snow shoeing hike had the transportation, equipment included, photography lessons, lots of laughs, and so much fun! I can see why snow shoeing is becoming so popular in canada its a really unique experience. On the way down the mountain there are some small down hill parts of the trail that our tour guide let us sit down and slide down it was so much fun!

A beautiful place , enjoyed our guide helping us with our photography and knowledge of Lynn canyon. Relaxing atmosphere, hard on the legs though.

Snowshoeing with Nafees was the best and I can’t praise this experience enough! He really knew the trial well and a lot about snowshoeing as well as photography. He was passionate and taught us how to snowshoe while providing thoughtful suggestions on photography. He also took some great shots of us! He made us very comfortable and It felt like we were hanging out with a friend. You can’t go wrong with this experience.

Had the best time, was only a small group of 2 of us. But it meant we could ask as many questions as we wanted. Nafees was an awesome guide, and taught me some tricks with my iPhone. It’s a great way to see the best bits of Vancouver. Can’t thank Nafees enough!

One of the best experiences in town. Nafees has everything organized incredibly well and is a great guide. You learn a lot from him whilst enjoying the scenic mountains surrounding Vancouver. Highly recommend!

Great experience to explore Vancouver and surrounding areas especially if you are only in Vancouver for a limited time.

Nafees was a great host and photography instructor! I was very new with my DSLR and he gave me a quick lesson on the features of my camera and how to manipulate the light to make for better photos. I will no longer be taking pictures in auto mode! I really enjoyed the tour of Gastown and Chinatown and the great conversion and helpful instruction throughout my tour. It allowed me to take what I had learned and apply it to the rest of my trip (especially my photos of the Capilano suspension bridge!). I would highly recommend this tour with Nafees!

If you’re in Vancouver for a couple days and don’t know how to spend it, Nafees is your guy! The whole trip was a wonderful experience and without a heartbeat I highly recommend to anyone thinking about purchasing. Nafees is extremely friendly and by the end of the night will make you feel as if you’ve known him a lifetime. Getting around Vancouver might be a little tricky for tourist since they don’t have any ride sharing apps yet so having Nafees show us what Vancouver has to offer was super helpful and we are very glad to have experienced it!

The experience with Nafees was truly amazing. We were only in Vancouver for a couple of days and wasn’t to sure on what activities to do. There’s no ride sharing apps so going to places would have been a lil difficult and confusing to tourists such as our selves so having Nafees with us was truly helpful. He took us to many beautiful places in Vancouver that we couldn’t imagine to do by ourselves! If we ever come back to Vancouver we will def book something with Nafees again and recommend to anyone looking.

He was very kind, and he changed the time and place for me. I have dslr but I’m not good at handling. He kindly taught me. Thanks to him, today was the perfect day! I should have known him early. Then I would have booked more of his tour. If you come to Seoul, Korea, I want to show you around!

I had a great time with Nafees! Perfect guide, really beautiful hidden gem in Lynn Canyon, nice photography technique for beginners like me, and Nafees took lots of beautiful pictures of me there. Definitely worth it!

Nafees was a wonderful host, he was extremely communicative and friendly. He took great care of all of the participants and had some great photo tips/recommendations. The scenery was stunning. Fantastic day trip!

Perfect opportunity to escape the city rain to enjoy the mountain snow! The trail itself is easy to manage.

One of the best photo tours I have ever done. Nafees was very knowledgeable of the area. he knew exactly where to take you to get the best shots. I have been photographing for many years but I still had things to learn from him. Accounting us was a young lady who was a novice. He did a fantastic job of talking to her about composition, exposure and even how to post for a good photograph. He was ever willing to take your pictures. You’re extremely patient and did not rush you while you were trying to set up your tripod and get the image you wanted. He was also very good at photographing with the smartphones. He did teach us some tricks with the iPhone too. This is one trip I would highly recommend anyone who has a day in Vancouver and wants to make the most of it. Photography experience is really not needed. He can take you through the basics in no time.

Nafees is a great person to hangout with! Unfortunately we weren’t able to snowshoe due to low snowfall. However, Nafees was able to accommodate an alternative activity based on my interests. So we decided to go hiking at the Stawamus Chief instead! The hike was lots of fun and I had a really good time! Nafees was professional and very knowledge about the area we were hiking in! I will book Nafees’ experiences when I visit Vancouver again!

This should be an essential for any Vancouver trip. Spending a few hours hiking with Nafees turned out to be insightful, magical and above all rewarding. The adventure he takes you on is so beautiful and provides vivid memories that will not only remain on your camera but in your soul. Would gladly do it again!

This is super worthy! I couldn’t express enough how much I enjoy this trip. Supreme location selection, easy to meet up, and very useful tips for improving your photography skills. Feel super grateful for this wonderful day. highly recommended!

Amazing trip!! We had an impromptu change of plans due to a lack of snow and ended up visiting some beautiful waterfalls on the way to Whistler. No matter what activity you get to enjoy, Nafees will ensure you have the best possible experience.

This was our favorite experience of our week-long trip! Had never snow-shoed before, but Nafees expertly showed us how to use them and gave us advice along the way that helped us learn and become more confident. The hike itself was absolutely gorgeous, and we had the added benefit of falling snow that day. Great elevation change, not too strenuous, but felt challenged. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone traveling through Vancouver.

Nafees is such a great host. He is professional with photo shooting he taught my daughter lot of skills to take a nice photos. He will take very nice pictures during the trip after that you can get really nice photos. And he have big patient to understand every customers. so we have no problem to communicate. The place he recommended us to have a lunch it’s all tasty. We highly recommended to join his group.

We joined Nafees’ Bowen island tour few days ago we really like it. So this time we booked a full day private tour. He arranged very well. The trail he took us to hike, and many of nice photos shooting places, downtown of Vancouver, local foods, etc., we really enjoyed it. And we got lots of nice photos from Nafees. If you want to see Vancouver nice spots you should join Nafees’ group.

Was a nice hike, Nafees is really passionate about hiking, the nature and gave some insightful photography tips.

Great guide to take you snowshoeing on Seymour. And he shared his pictures after the hike – they were awesome!

A wonderful experience, Nafees is an excellent and knowledgeable host and the locations and scenery for our hikes were magical. I thoroughly recommend Nafees’ tours 🙂

This is a great experience to get immersed in nature and friendship. Nafees is very knowledgeable about photography and shows great hospitality.

I couldn’t find point of location, mainly my fault, we started late, but host was really good at finding me and was very patient, so I really appreciated that. This host is very much an expert with cameras and with taking good shots, I learned a few things from him in this respect.

I found Nature Photo Hikes using TA & google. We were on a Pacific NW cruise with a full day in Vancouver. I contacted the website about designing our day in port & had quick responses from Nafees who agreed to pick us up at the port & planned a full day with trips to Lynn Canyon & Quarry Rock. Our group was composed of just 3 of us as my husband was sick. Nafees picked us up at the port in rain. I asked Nafees if we passed a pharmacy, could we make a quick stop to pick up medicine for my husband. We were close by one & made the stop where I was able to buy what my husband needed & I appreciated Nafees accommodating my request. After a brief stop, it was on to Lynn Canyon. It was a very rainy & overcast day, but we made the most of it. We arrived at Lynn Canyon at a good time before hordes of people descended. We had a great walk over a suspension bridge & through majestic woods to a beautiful waterfall. The rain & overcast skies made for some interesting photos and Nafees was great about giving us tips on how to use our iPhones as well as my Nikon. I definitely learned a lot & picked up some very good tips. Following this part of our day, our jeans were soaked & we talked about going to a store to buy rain pants. Nafees took us to MEC where he patiently waited while we shopped & tried on clothes. We each found a pair of rain pants which I immediately changed into in the store, getting out of my wet jeans. With the rain, Nafees gave us an option of changing our tour, but it was decided we would go to Quarry Rock as initially planned. We arrived in Deep Cove and had a great lunch at a small place with awesome donuts. We walked around the lake & saw where they were actually filming a movie. Nafees said their area is known for filming many Hallmark movies. We made our way to the trail up to Quarry Rock. This hike has been described as easy, but for me (a flatlander living at the beach & at sea level), it was not easy in any way, but a challenge. Nafees was very supportive & let us go at our own pace – as fast or as slow as we desired. He was very patient & made the whole experience a pleasure. The rain had stopped enough that when we arrived at the big rock, there was no rain & we basically had it all to ourselves. It sounds like that never happens, so the inclement weather was a blessing in disguise. The view was spectacular & we enjoyed taking our time wandering around & taking photos. It was well worth the climb & we were all happy we had stuck with our original plan & were able to experience Quarry Rock. After a full day, Nafees returned us to the port to board our ship. Nafees was a pleasure to deal with in setting up this tour & also on the tour itself. He was personable & very accommodating. In planning, he offered to combine the 2 tours with a discount on the 2nd one which was very nice & it was incredibly wonderful for it to be just us in a small group. We cruise often & I always look for other options rather than the ship’s tours & I would highly recommend Nature Photo Hikes & Nafees to anyone looking for a day in Vancouver. Thanks Nafees!My husband and I did the photo walk through Stanley Park and English Bay with Nafees. It was just the two of us, and Nafees catered the experience to our (beginner photographer) abilities. He showed us simple tips on composition and light exposure that made our shots (just on our cell phones) look amazing!! He also sent us all the photos he took on the walk. Beyond the photography, Nafees was just a really nice and interesting guy, and we enjoyed our afternoon with him.

This experience was incredible. It really allowed me to get away from the hustle and bustle of Vancouver and enjoy the natural beauty of Canada. The landscapes were breathtaking. The hike itself is manageable even for an inexperienced hiker like myself. Nafees is also very familiar with the terrain and provided some really interesting insights. The pictures provided after the experience were beautiful as well. Would highly recommend.

This was a great experience for a beginner photographer like myself. Since it was just me with Nafees tonight doing the Gastown night photography I got great one-on-one tips and tricks with Nafees and got great shots. Also, I learned a lot of new things aboutmy camera that I never knew of before since Nafees showed them to me. Thanks so much for the great photos and even better memories!

This experience was AMAZING!!! Nafees is so friendly and accomdating. He really helped me get some good shots. He knew all of the best spots for photos and best times to access them. I really enjoyed learning how to take better photos with my smartphone (which I always have on hand). I would highly reccomend this experience when you are visiting Vancouver.

Best. Day. Ever. I can’t rave enough about our tour guide, Nafees! I’m a 33 year old female and I came to Canada on a solo travel trip. I felt very safe and looked out for! I didn’t know what to expect and didn’t want to hike alone up to Garibaldi Lake which is why I booked this. I’m an experienced hiker, but even if you aren’t sure you could complete this 18km round trip adventure- have faith that Nafees will help you with lots of patience and guidance! The views are worth the pain! He is a phenomenal photographer and helped me learn how to shoot my Nikon better. He took a lot of excellent pictures that I will cherish forever! No other guide I know would have done this; let alone have fun doing so! It’s easy to tell he enjoys his work. Thank you, Nafees! I will be back for another adventure!

Lynn Canyon is a MUST if your in Vancouver and Nafees is the expert to do this with. Nafees is knowledgeable, charismatic and patient. He gave us great tips on how to use our camera phones for the best pictures. He made sure we went at the perfect time when there would be less people. At times it almost felt like we had the park to ourselves. The park is magnificent and 100% less crowded than other parks. He shared his knowledge of photography, hiking, history and even recommended places to eat. We took public transportation there and back and felt completely safe and happy to be among the locals. Nafees was so kind as to take us all the way back to our place on public transit which helped us navigate the city the rest of the week. It was priceless. This experience was beyond my expectations. I highly recommend taking Nafees’ tour. It was my favorite tour on this trip.

Nafees was an excellent tour guide for this experience. I would never have been able to navigate and do this by myself for the first time. He brought so much insight into the basics of hiking as well as taking time to go over my camera settings to capture some very beautiful photography along the way. He was always looking out for us and our well-being It was great to have a group and everyone was smiling ear to ear even with the difficult elevation challenges. We saw waterfalls, various insects, beautiful rock walls and forest along with some very special chipmunk friends that were enjoying our lunch with us. I will certainly be joining Nafees the next time I return to Vancouver for another adventure. . The experience is amazing and it was medicine for my soul.

Nafees is a very experienced and knowledgeable hiker, and is very personable, patient and kind. He made sure everyone was comfortable and going at their own pace, while making sure we were all safe when it started to rain. He demonstrated how to do some things when it got to the difficult parts of the hike which I found super helpful. I also really liked Nafees telling us his personal stories of his hikes in Vancouver and Africa, you can tell he genuinely loves hiking, talking to people, and photography. Plus, he taught us MANY things about photography and took beautiful pictures of us! I wouldn’t have been able to complete this hike alone, thank you Nafees!

This tour was by the far the best money we spent in Vancouver. It was the highlight of our short trip to the city. Nash took us to all the main places to see in Vancouver, which was great since we didn’t want to rent a car, or spend our time navigating a city we weren’t familiar with. Plus, he not only taught us about our camera settings and the compositions of our photos, but he also took dozens and dozens of photos of me and my husband. It was like having our own private photo session! The day was organized well, with a great mixture of driving, walking, and sightseeing. I HIGHLY recommend this tour. Thanks Nash!

The Lynn Canyon Hike & Photography tour with Nafees was a great way to spend a day in Vancouver. We were lucky to be the only two people signed up for our tour, and got some really great pointers from Nafees – both about photography and about Vancouver in general. I would recommend this tour to any friend who plans to visit Vancouver in the future!

We had a brilliant day in Vancouver with Nafees! As a beginner, I learned a lot about my camera and my friend, way more skilled than I am, also learned a lot! The day went by so fast and we learned a lot about the city. Nafeez took us to a variety of places so we could capture Vancouver’s beautiful landscapes, city scapes, night time shots, forest, beach, the list goes on! An incredible day out, whatever the weather!!!

This was a fun day trip from Vancouver! The hike itself can be a bit tedious, but it is totally worth it when you see the beautiful views of Garibaldi Lake. I would even say it is more beautiful than the highly touristy destination lake louise in Banff. Nafees took many breaks and photos of us along the way, and taught some basic photography. Such a great day, and would highly recommend.

It was an awesome experience ! The spots Nafees chose were too good and it felt magical by looking at the shots captured. Nafees and another guest Puneet were very welcoming and friendly. Nafees explains you very nice and interesting photography techniques making your captured photos look like a professional photographer. He took loads of pictures in various types of shots. Nafees is very accommodating and I’m glad I did this tour! Would recommend everyone for this tour to get capture awesome moments of their visit in Vancouver!!

A wonderful experience to feel how Vancouver is. Hiking in the wood to see the beautiful view is really gorgeous! Thumb up for this . The city walk is also impressive, especially taken photos by only iPhone can make make pictures so nice. Throughout the tour, Nafee is nice and professional and his professional skill in hospitality and photo taking made us unforgettable. Will definitely recommend my friend to find him for tour. Value for money!

This tour was a great day from beginning to end. Nafees takes care of all aspects of the planning so all you have to do is enjoy. The snowshoe trail was beautiful, and accessible for a beginner. Getting the chance to take lots of photos and learning about techniques of photography was really fun too.

I had a wonderful time on this trip. Nafees is very experienced and took the time to share tiny details about the trail and its features. It was a truly amazing experience.

Nafees offered this hike as a replacement for the Quarry Hike. I went with my husband and adult daughter. A very different and beautiful hike. I would definitely recommend it.

I can’t give this experience a high enough review or recommend it enough!! Nafees made sure everyone was set and took lots of breaks while hiking to make this a super enjoyable experience for someone at any skill level. We stopped at a restaurant after the hike as well and the food there was to die for. He also provided me with a few other restaurants to check out later that night for supper and made this experience super memorable. Had an awesome time and I would definitely recommend Nafees as a guide for any hike you want to do in BC!

Nafees is a true professional and expert at his craft. We learned so much about photography and that beautiful park. He also took pictures of me proposing to my girlfriend and the set up and everything was perfect! He was an absolute pleasure to work with and go on a tour with. Highly recommend!!

In one word, Nafees is great! He knows the place very well and you will have so much fun talking with him during the trip. He has so many stories to tell and many tips to give if you plan to stick around some days more. He’s a great photographer and will lead you to his “secret” places so you can get the best pictures. Thank you Nafees!!! We all enjoyed the time spent with you.

This was my second hike with Nafees who knows his hood to the core. I enjoyed a pleasant forest hike and stunning views of Deep Cove. If you are not much of a photographer Nafees will gladly take the shot for you. I will gladly join on another hike anytime the opportunity arises.

Excellent tour of Lynn Canyon. Saw many amazing things and got some incredible photographs. I also learned a few good photo tips! I highly recommend Nafees, he’s very knowledgeable about the area. He knows just where to go and everything felt very easy – I couldn’t have done this hike on my own.

Nafees was very friendly and helpful host who has deep knowledge about the Gastown and downtown area. Also gave me a lot advises about my future tour. I got several nice photos with this experience and definitely recommend to anyone who wants to try this experience.

Nafees provided a very interesting combination of easy hiking, exploration and photography. I learnt simple but really useful tips to use my iPhone to take shots of moving water and still objects, as well as to enhance the colour layers of beautiful landscape. Tour is highly recommended!

This tour is something you should definitely not miss! I learnt so much about picture shooting and my pictures turned out excellent! I enjoyed Nafees’ knowledge of the photography. Definitely one of my highlights from my trip, totally recommend it.

During my time in Canada, the best hike was with Nafees. When we went to Garibaldi Lake, nice people and amazing day. I will never forget it. He is also a great photographer! Thanks so much!!

This is the third time I book a tour for me and my Friends with Nafees who has always been kind and an wonderful host. He not only shows you around but also gives you amazing tips to great pictures!

Nafees is a great guide in leading us on this hike. He showed us various photography techniques that enhanced the pictures we took throughout the hike. I found myself more interested in doing other hikes in the future. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this hike around North Vancouver! Nafees was very personable and always made sure to check up on us as we were hiking. He kept good pace, allowed us to take photos and I learned a lot of cool tricks. He eagerly took photos of us also and I enjoyed talking to him. I’d go on another tour of his soon!

Nafees is a great tour guide of the park and taught me very helpful tips for better landscape photography. He also gives a good overview of Vancouver and activity/restaurant recommendations. Highly recommend!

Very nice hike on Mt. Seymour. Scenic location. Nafees is a very patient and friendly person. I’d recommend it to anyone who is around Vancouver and interested in a hike.

Nafees is an excellent guide. He taught me several things about how can I take pictures. And how can I take better pictures with my cellphone. I recommend him.

My best tour in Vancouver! The tour definitely knows every viewpoint from Vancouver to Whistler. Not only finding the best angle to take a photograph but also give good tips on photography!

Great tour!! Nafees is very professional in providing hiking tips and photo taking technical skills. Super great scenery, a must do hike when you are in Vancouver.

Such a great tour with Nafees! I appreciated his flexibility and learned a great deal about the Gastown district as well as Photography. Highly recommend this tour 🙂

He spoke passionately about the areas of the city to get some of the best shots and he offered several tips throughout the tour on the settings to use on our camera!

Nafees has great knowledge and made our first foray into DSLR photography memorable. His great sense of humor brought laughter to all.

Absolutely amazing experience hiking in Joffre Lakes! Nafees was an expert who really was able to get the group to mingle and was very welcoming. The hike was incredible and Nafees knew of perfect locations to take us on this hike to give us a personalized experience! Definitely looking forward to more hikes with Nafees and would strongly recommend this experience to any keen hiker!

Nafees’ tour to Lynn Canyon was a great experience. We are very grateful that it was flexible and will support us to get to the site. During the tour he shared his experiences and we discovered incredible tricks with the camera. The place is unique, it allows you to be in touch with nature, visit a suspension bridge and beautiful waterfalls. Thank you Nafees for sharing your passion for Vancouver with us, much success.

Great hiking tour. It’s a nice trail with beautiful views. Somewhat challenging but very doable for beginners or intermediate hikers. Nafees was kind enough to check in with everybody multiple times to make sure the pace is right. He also shared great photo tips with the group and helped us take some nice memories. Thank you!

This is my first time to participate in the AirBNB experience, really great, Nafees is good, humorous, considerate, able to take care of everyone, taught me how to use the old IPhone which can shoot amazing pictures, and taught the hidden function in IPhone that helps me to shoot. The beauty here is so beautiful, I will participate in the event next time, thank you.

Nafees is a great teacher, and I learned a lot about the features of my camera on this tour. There were five of us and he took the time for each of us to explain everything so that you could really understand it. He chose a great location for these lessons. Apart from photography, the hike was great fun, and we were rewarded with a beautiful view. I thought the tour was so good that I booked the photo tour in Gastown for the next evening.

Nafees is really knowledgeable about the outdoors, nature, and photography, and was overall a great guide. He showed me tips on how to fully maximize my camera features on both my phone and my mirrorless camera. We went to beautiful locations in Lynn Canyon that I wouldn’t have known about if I just went by myself. He also took great photos and delivered them in a timely manner. Overall it was a great experience and foray into Northern Vancouver and Lynn Canyon!

Nafees is a superhost who will guide you through hiking if the trail is hidden. The tour was easy to walk and easy to understand about the camera. During the summer, he seems to have many other hiking tours, and if I had another chance, I would like to go again. Since it is a guide for beginners, it is recommended even for Japanese people.

Hike was really great, Nafees really knows how to get great pictures no matter what camera or phone you have and he knows areas that will get you away from the crowds to really enjoy nature. I wish I was around Vancouver for longer so I could go on more of his hikes.

I do really recommend the trip with Nafees. He gave me a lot of helpful instructions and ideas for camera settings and compositions, he was really interested and friendly. The Lynn Canyon is awesome , that makes it easy to take nice pictures or Just enjoy the landscape.

Nafees led us to the suspension bridge, and then on to several paths with gorgeous natural environments. Although I “only” had my iPhone, he showed me some new features that I now continue to use. Our group of 5 ranged in age from young adults to senior citizens and Nafees made sure that we all had a great time, according to our comfort level & physical ability. I shared a few photos with my daughter who is a film editor / photographer & she said “Wow, Mom, did YOU take these photos?” She was impressed by the lighting & composition & some of my newly learned iPhone photo features. Thank you, Nafees!

Nafees had great tips for photography, both on the camera phone and DSLR. I was actually amazed at how much the iphone camera could do. He brought us to great places for photos and we saw a lot in addition to being outdoors with great hiking and views for photos. Not a standard historical and sight seeing tour but really enjoyable and Nafees is a great host for Vancouver.

Nafees was kind enough to let me 3 year old tag along for our afternoon in Lynn Canyon. I have a reasonable handle on my DLSR but Nafees encouraged me to take total control and get off auto mode. We experimented with long exposures and he guided me to getting the perfect shot. Stunning location for an afternoon photography lesson!

Nafees is a great host and really knows his stuff. It’s an easy walk that is suitable for beginners. His off the beaten path trail helps you beat the crowds and into some spectacular scenery. A great intro walk if getting into hiking and for those more experienced, like myself, it’s a great way to meet new people and learn some new camera skills.

I enjoyed the walk through Lynn Canyon Park in the beautiful crisp Fall weather. Nafees is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. As an avid iPhone user, I was happy to learn new tips and tricks to take beautiful photos in nature. Also it is great to see Lynn Canyon from unique perspectives that was shared along the way.

This is a great experience and a must do in Vancouver for all hike lovers. We had a great experience and he took us to a secret pathway w a little more challenging route. It was very fun and definitely a beautiful view as a trophy when you get to the top.

This hike with Nafees was incredible! We had a great group of people and the hike was well worth the effort. Having Nafees to guide us and give more context to the area and history was invaluable and not something you could get on your own. A really great experience overall!

Wonderful experience, hiking through the secret paths made me enjoy the rain forest even more than expected, finishing on top of the mount to appreciate the beauty of the city, sea and surrounding mountains definitely a must-do for nature lovers.

Nafees is an excellent guide with worldwide experience in hiking. We only brought our smartphones and he still showed us some very cool tricks and gave us tips on how to take shots in the future.

Great experience fulfilled of knowledge. All my questions were properly answered and now I am looking forward to practice by myself!!! Thanks!!!

Had an amazing hike with Nafees, really was one of the most beautiful hikes I’ve been on, everyone on the day was so friendly and we got some amazing photos would highly recommend it

It was a rainy day so I worried but it was a better experience !! It was special to use public transportation that was hard to come by alone, and it was great to clear the spots and to explain the techniques and contents of photography in detail! It was a more enjoyable experience with caring for me. It is recommended!

I had booked this tour because I was already convinced of it at another event the day before. Although my English is not very good, and it had foreign vocabulary, he was able to convey it to me very well. I learned a lot about photography and also had fun on this tour.

It was a great hike with spectacular views and we got awesome looking photos. Nafees is a great hiking guide, taking care of everything, he knows the best spots and shared great stories with us. Highly recommended!

Great evening/night tour of Gastown and Chinatown. Nafees knows the area well and pointed out all the great spots for photos. Great tutorial as well on basics of photography and how to get the best out of whatever camera you bring – including iPhones!

Must to do in Vancouver. I booked the experience because all buses were fully booked and it was quite complicated to go to the lake. Nafees was very experienced and took care of all members. Strongly recommend!

The trip to Lynn Canyon was wonderful. The views were fantastic and Nafees is very knowledgeable with photography.

Nafees was a very caring guide and we felt the whole stay very very comfortable. The Island was a great experience for our first day. Even with a jet lag 😉

It was really cool. Would definitely go on another longer Tour with him. When returning to Canada I will make sure to look it up.

Awesome trip with a amazing fellow traveler.

It was a challenging hike but the scenery at the top was totally worth it. I was very glad that the trip was not cancelled even with few people signed up. Nafees was super knowledgeable with hiking and photography skills. In addition, he was really good at controlling the pace and encouraging us to make it to the top. So we had great conversation on the hike and shared good information. Highly recommend for a day trip to anyone who is visiting Vancouver! Thank you so much.

Definitely an experience I’ll cherish and remember forever. It’s challenging. Going all the way up to the top and then going down was definitely difficult, but with Nafees’ help I did it. He made sure everyone was comfortable at their own pace and helped in the sections that were more difficult, showing us exactly how to do it. If you’re up for a physical challenge and you’re not too afraid of heights, I recommend you do this experience. You’ll have memories for life.

Nafees is amazing. He is very friendly and also really funny. He has so much experience in hiking , he helps you out and gives you all the time you need. We went on 2 hiking activities with him and both were absolutely amazing. I recommend this to everyone. Bowen island was really beautiful and Nafees took a lot of beautiful pictures of us.

Nafees is a great guy, who will make sure you understand your camera and will help you take great photos. The walk in the park was excellent and he timed it perfectly so we had the bridge almost to ourselves, with barely anyone else there. Definitely recommended.

First time hiking tour with education on how to take photographs and use camera. This was a fantastic experience. As 1st timer, I greatly appreciate the time, effort and feed backs. This will definitely help in future hiking. The group was awesome, great sense and cohesive.

This experience was really a treat. Nafees was a thoughtful and adept instructor who has developed a great way to teach people about photography. The hike was beautiful and Nafees used that to show us the principles of different styles of photography.

Good chance to see beautiful views, very easy climb and close to Vancouver by bus….Nafees was a very friendly and helpful host. Thank you.

Squamish was really fun. Nafees is very friendly and also funny. He was patient and took a lot of beautiful pictures.

A well organised and fun day out ! Would definitely recommend Nafees as a guide and photographer.

I was on a solo trip to BC in mid-September, when I stumbled upon this photography tour of English Bay. I meant to go to English Bay and Stanley Park, but figured a tour might be better. Since it was raining, I ended up being the only person on the tour with my guide Nafees, so the experience was very personalized. Nafees was a fantastic host. He showed me the best places to see the views, told me a little about each stop, and still made time to show me awesome food options on Denman. Nafees even took (and shared with me) excellent photos which perfectly captured my experience. I would highly recommend this tour, its great exercise and Nafees will make the trip out, regardless of the size of your group, and weather conditions. Even for solo travellers like myself.

Nafees was a good hiking guide who was patient and knowledgeable about Giribaldi and the surrounding areas of Vancouver. I learned some photography tips from him and he was very nice about taking photos of us individually and as a group. I enjoyed the hike and the fact that I didn’t have to worry about transportation and hiking alone/getting lost! We came back into town a little and Nafees was kind enough to drop us all off at the places we were staying. Thank you Nafees!

This was a great hike. We met some really lovely people who shared the same passion for walking and adventure. It was a small group so it felt very personal. The views were amazing at the top. Nafees was knowledgeable, friendly and read the group dynamic well. I thoroughly recommend this hike.

Thank you Nafees for this tour. It was really a pleasure and we learned a lot about photography 😉

Really nice hike with a very special view at the top!

Nafees’ tour was a fantastic experience. Despite the park being very busy due to beautiful weather, Nafees quickly adapted his tour to take me to the less busy spots and we managed to avoid the crowds very well. He showed me a lot of unknown spots, which gave the tour a very unique feeling. When it came to photography Nafees took the time to show me all the different settings on my camera, I learned a lot. He brought a lot of patience, not only with explaining camera settings but also when it came to waiting at the bridge to get the perfect shot without tourists even on a fairly busy day such as ours. Afterwards Nafees stayed behind to help me get a good night sky shot even though it wasn’t part of the paid experience. I can definitely recommend this hike, beautiful nature, good photos and a nice tour guide.

I had a wonderful day with Nafees. I appreciated his confident guidance on the sections of the hike that were challenging for me. I certainly could not have done this hike on my own. I also appreciated his passion for the outdoors and his enthusiasm to share with people. I also learnt some new photography skills and it was wonderful that Nafees also took group and individual photos. It was a great day. Thank you Nafees.

I cannot recommend an experience with Nafees enough. He clearly has a love for the outdoors and photography, which he shared with me. Nafees is a very thoughtful guide – he took what I wanted to see and learn into consideration and curated the best experience for the setting. He also taught me some helpful photography skills that I am excited to use in the future.

If you love nature, hiking and would have always liked to take better pictures, this is your tour! Skip Capilano Bridge park and its hordes of tourists and join Nafees in a calmed, beautiful, easy hike. Grab your camera or mobile and put on your trekking shoes (sneakers also valid), and enjoy nature while learning. Nafees is a great guide, excellent at giving picture taking tips, and with a sensational sense of humor. You’ll have a great time, don’t hesitate!

I highly recommend this tour, was one of my top 3 best experiences in Vancouver, Nafees knows widely how to take advantage of the tools you have to take the best photos, and he makes you feel comfortable all the journey, a great experience!!

A fantastic trip with the most excellent guide, Nafees. Conquering The Chief with him is a must-do!!

Highly recommend this experience with Nafees. His ability to guide groups at all levels and keep a steady but comfortable pace was wonderful. I LOVED the fact that he was an expert photographer and made the experience extra unique by showing us his hidden gem spots and photographing us through the whole journey. His passion for the land was evident, and contagious! I appreciated when he shared stories that made me learn more about the region and landscape. The hike itself is medium effort – not for elderly or those who are not in good physical condition. However – if you’re pretty fit it will be a nice solid workout. My favorite part was getting to the chains and seeing the amazing view from the peak. Drinking water from the waterfalls was also a highlight of my experience! Epic day!

Nafees was great. He picked us up on time and was very friendly. We took the bus to Lynn Canyon which was great to see parts of the city I had not visited yet. It went very smoothly. The hike was amazing, and Nafees really knows the location well as he took us to the less visited sections and then finished in the most busy parts when most tourists had left. He taught us some cool tricks on how to use my phone for better pictures and went at our pace. Its clear he really enjoys what he does! I would really recommend to go one of his hikes.

Nafees was a really warm and engaging host! The experience, though introductory, had its unique challenges as well and Nafees was quick to share useful tips and trip throughout. He was also very patient and would keep to a pace which we were all comfortable with. Did I say he is also a remarkable photographer too? Overall, the trip was pleasant – would encourage everyone to explore one of Vancouver’s natural assets with Nafees!

The Squamish Hiking and Photography experience is wonderful. The description is absolutely true, it is not the easiest walk – or as the sign at the beginning of the trail says – it is not a stroll in the park. But it is so well worth it! The views were amazing. Everybody took good photos + Nafees took great shots with each participant with their own camera. He certainly knew the nest spots from where to take the photos. Also there was a really good vibe in the group 🙂

Nafees provided a wonderful experience in a way that we wouldn’t be able to replicate on our own. Not only did he give us tips and tricks to better use our equipment (I have an iPhone & my husband has a Fuji), he also showed us areas we wouldn’t know were accessible on our own, as well as took lots of pictures of us that we wouldn’t have gotten on our own. It was almost like we were on a wonderfully different engagement photo shoot (we are happily married)… we walked away with beautiful pictures from Nafees, broadened skills, and memories of a place that we wouldn’t have gotten if we were left to our own devices. So glad we booked this experience!

The experience was fantastic. The hike was very nice and Nafees ensured that the pace was suitable for everyone. There were lovely spots for photos and he made sure that everyone was happy with their cameras. Thanks a lot!

Nafees’ hike to Lake Garibaldi was nothing less than spectacular! His level of experience in guiding hikes like this was unparalleled. He was very informative when it came to flora and fauna of the area and provided us with some great pro tips for trying to capture some of the beauty via photography. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who may be contemplating a trip to Lake Garibaldi.

It was an amazing experience!! A hard hiking but really worth it. Garibaldi lake is wonderful, beautiful views, peace and silence. I enjoyed the company of Nafees. I recommend this experience to every people visiting Vancouver!

Great experience! Needed some work climbing up but the view was amazing. No one else signed up so it was just me and Nafees, the tour still happened. Nafees brought his camera and took a lot of pictures for me, which was awesome. Recommended!

This was an amazing experience, I was nervous about booking alone but the interactions with Nafees and with the other people on the trip were lovely. It was a gorgeous hike and a great day.

Nafees is a really responsible, kind and experienced tour guide. I had plenty of fun during our hiking. The view was spectacular and the experience is wonderful! Highly recommended.

It’s been an amazing afternoon and definitely a good value. Nafees is such an awesome guy and makes you feel very welcome right from the beginning.

Got some great pictures and learned a few tricks to take better shots with my iPhone. 5 out of 5 stars!

The experience was great! The spot was very cool and totally recommend it.

Nafees was awesome! Very personable and catered to the different interests of the group. He did a great job keeping the atmosphere light, but informative – the photography tips alone were worth the $$. The recommendations he made for the rest of our trip were right on the mark.

This was awesome! It is definitely labeled a difficult hike for a reason. But Nafees was very patient and understanding and we still made good time. The views on this hike are unforgettable. Just be prepared with comfortable shoes and lots of snacks and hearty lunch!

Great tour with a great guide! He was very knowledgeable about the rain-forest and photography…how to take better pictures. Been 8 years since I was in Lynn Valley and I enjoyed it very very much! It’s absolutely beautiful over there! I totally recommend this for anyone wanting to get out of the city.

Great time in Vancouver on this walking tour and photography workshop. Nafees is a pro and knows Vancouver inside and out. Whether you have a DSLR or smartphone cam he can provide great tips and u walk away with some great images.

Nafees was a fantastic guide! The hike was a great experience and Nafees ensured everyone in the group was happy and safe. A wonderful day- highly recommend!

This hike and Nafees was awesome, nice morning hike and lunch with a view. I absolutely loved it. Must stop for honey doughnuts after.

Really fun, fairly easy hike and lots of great photo tips!

This hike is well worth it! The views are gorgeous and Nafees is great!

Great experience with helpful tips to take nice pictures!

I booked this tour last minute while in Vancouver and was really glad I did. Nafees was a really great guide. The only camera I had with me was the one on my iPhone, but even with that, he showed me great ways to take better pictures. He knew the best spots to take interesting pictures. He was super personable and made it a fun experience.

I had a lovely time – our group was friendly and kind as well as Nafees! I really liked the time spent focusing on photography Nafees made sure to take time to show everyone their settings and tips and tricks. The hike itself was pretty challenging but in a good way and it is worth it!

The hike was fantastic and the views on top of the mountain were stunning. Nafees takes extra care to make sure the pace is sustainable for all hikers at all ability levels. He also customizes his photography tips/instruction to meet his guests knowledge & interest levels. Great experience.

This was a fantastic experience and provided a fabulous day out into a very unique part of the world! Nafees tailored the experience to match the group and provided insight to the area and showed us some cool and local spots! Would thoroughly recommend! Thanks Nafees!

This was a great way to get in a fun hike in our trip to Vancouver. Nafees was a great guide and had a lot of cool tips to share with us about using just our phones to take amazing pictures. Highly recommend booking this experience!

This was a great trip. Nafees was very friendly, knowledgeable and took good care of us. He took us to his secret beautiful spots with amazing view of the park where we could practice taking photos. His knowledge about photography was great and shared many tips with us. Overall a great experience!

The hiking is very nice, with a nice forest and wonderful views at the top, but what makes the difference is Nafees (guide and teacher of photography in this tour). We’ve learned a lot of tips from him. And the group is small.

Highly recommend!

Such an amazing experience. If you’re thinking about it at all just do it, you will not be disappointed. Nafees is very accommodating and knowledgeable.

We had a great hike in a beautiful place! Also the camera tips were so useful; found aspects of my camera phone that I never knew existed.

This review is long, long overdue but I wanted to take the time to highly recommended the Garibaldi Lake Hike, which I did last July with my girlfriend while visiting Vancouver. While no doubt a challenging hike, it was an incredible experience and definitely the highlight of my trip to Vancouver. Nash was just THE BEST guide for our hike. He could not have been a nicer, more knowledgeable, more experienced or more supportive guide for what was a fairly difficult hike for both me and my girlfriend (something we did not totally anticipate). There were certainly a few times during the hike where we were struggling or asking what we got ourselves into ; ) But Nash was there to cheer us on and help us get to the top where the lake is, and it was totally worth it. The views once you reach the lake are just breathtaking, totally spectacular. I have a collection of photos taken at Garibaldi Lake that I will treasure forever. Nash was also very helpful with taking some great shots of us on his camera and the camera we brought as well. It is also great that he was able to pick up and drop us off directly at the hotel we were staying at in Downtown Vancouver, which was pretty awesome after a long and exhausting hike. I cannot recommended a better experience if you are interested in hiking or exploring the outdoors of Vancouver. Overall, just an entirely fantastic and rewarding experience that I will never forget. I look forward to returning to Vancouver soon so I can join Nash on a new hike in beautiful Vancouver.

What a wonderful experience with Nafees – this is an opportunity not to be missed! The tour starts with a bus ride to Lynn Canyon which takes about 30-40 minutes. Once the hike began, Nafees guided us through this spectacular forest, taking us to places where we could try various settings on our cameras. At each stop Nafees helped us choose the right settings, taking individual time until we each got great shots. The hike is an easy trail, with lots of stairs and beautiful scenery. Nafees is highly knowledgeable and connects well with everyone. Nafees also took beautiful pictures of those of us in the group and sent them to us the day following the tour. I was in Vancouver for a conference and had a very limited amount of time to site see and I am SO pleased that I did this!!!

Totally recommend this photography tour with Nafees, 10/10! He was very knowledgeable about the area, he knew all the good spots to practice taking photos. Also very knowledgeable about photography whether you had a DSLR or camera phone. We definitely picked up photography tricks which we put to use during the rest of our trip! We also appreciate that he sent us and shared the photos he took of us after. The other guests in the group were also lovely, so we enjoyed this tour of Lynn Canyon. Thank you so much for the newfound photography tips and skills we learned from you, Nafees!

A terrific experience! Nafees is a genuine soul with a good sense of humor and he is knowledgeable about the area, trees and plants. I have been wanting to use my camera in manual mode for a couple of years and Nafees was able to keep the photography instruction casual and basic – he gave just enough instruction to make me feel comfortable taking photos in manual mode. He also talked about composition and light/shadows. Overall it was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our photography experience with Nafees. Lynn Canyon is a stunning place and not too busy. We had just bought a new camera for our trip to Canada so it was an excellent few hours spent getting to know our way around the camera. Nafees showed us some useful pointers on how to take great shots in different lighting and how to capture moving subjects. We’ve really enjoyed taking long exposure shots on our trip as we’ve visited a few waterfalls! Nafees also took the experience at our pace and we never felt rushed. A very enjoyable experience and comes highly recommended!

I spent an enjoyable time hiking, practicing photography with a knowledgeable, friendly instructor.Nafees took time to give individual help with each camera and skill level. I learned how to photograph waterfalls, forest scenes with various light, interesting compositions. We reviewed camera settings, ISO, white balance,F-stops,aperture. Overall a very positive experience which I recommend to anyone wishing to get out of the downtown area and experience nature and learn Photography skills as well.

I had a great hiking experience with Nafees to Garibaldi Lake. He made the experience very comfortable for all of us, stopping at a cafe if we needed anything, and was explicit that fast/slow hikers are all welcome (though we happened to all hike at the same pace :). The hike itself was beautiful and we lucked out on a great day weather wise. It’s uphill on switchbacks for the first 6km with lots of rewarding views after. Nafees was a friendly, easygoing guide with lots of stories. I would definitely look at his other hikes next time I’m back.

I had a great time on the hike and was very happy with the route and the spots Nafees has selected for us. As a photographer, I spent quite a bit of time in some spots, just trying to get the right shot and I didn’t feel rushed. I loved all the spots we got to see and what I learnt about the area. Very pleasant and insightful hike!

Nafees has a great ability to communicate his love for the natural wonders around his city. Through his lens, he let’s you fully appreciate the beautiful angles of Lynn Canyon. He is a sensible person, eager to share wit you his respect for the balance between nature and humankind. He can answer all questions: from technical matters related to photography to sociological aspects of his city, his country and the world. Great experience!

The tour was a bliss! We hiked in a small group and got to know each other a little. There were some challenging moments on a way as I’m afraid of the heights but Nafees was very reassuring and the breathtaking views were the best reward for me! We have also learnt a lot from Nafees about hiking in general, he made sure that we were using the right techniques throughout the day. It all made for a very relaxing day despite the steep hike!

Great hiking adventure to Squamish – incredible views! Nafees was a wonderful and expert guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend this hike and Nafees anytime!

Nafees is a great tour guide and we really enjoyed his company. Has a great presence and is calming and enjoyable to be around. Loved the tour because we felt like friends. Thanks again!

Nafees really knows the trail and has a great knowledge in general. I really recommend him if its your first time in Squamish!

I had an amazing experience and I’m so grateful to have found a local to show me the beauty of this hike!

Was a wonderful morning exploring, learning some great tips and got some beautiful photos of me and dad. I look forward to doing it again when more out of town guests visit. He showed some great viewpoints and ways of capturing it.

Nafees was great and helped me with basics of photography. He is an humble, polite and knowledgeable in this field. There is nothing like learning from him while sightseeing.

Nafees is a wonderful tour guide! He is caring and embodies hiking passion and expertise that really enriched the experience. This was the highlight of my trip to Vancouver!

Great experience! We had very little knowledge about photography and left feeling mildly adequate hahaha very friendly and a nice walk around Stanley Park.

A great way to discover parks around Vancouver and to learn photography. Its an easy hike and beautiful forest.

Great guide, very knowledgeable. We had a fun time and learned a lot!

Nafees was fantastic! Easy going, flexible, welcoming, and knowledgeable. He reintroduced me to photography basics that changed my photography game. We very much enjoyed our photo tour with him and would choose it again given the chance!

I’m so impressed by this experience! Wonderful place, Nafees was so friendly and nice, we took thousand of amazing pictures, I met amazing girls, how can it even be better? Thank you again for this great time, I recommend it for everyone who is exploring BC.

He is a really great talent. If you get lost, you should participate. I was able to shoot better with a single-lens reflex camera. Furthermore, I can not speak English very well, but he understood it because he spoke slowly and easily. Also, I would like to take part in his tour if I have a chance to go to Vancouver.

If you’re visiting Vancouver, booking an experience with Nafees is a must. This was my second time doing a tour and he was knowledgeable, passionate, and ensured we were safe on our hike. Will be back for the rest of them!

As advertised! Had a nice time, beautiful and picturesque area! Nafees was so nice and welcoming, and a great teacher! Learned some fun new tips for taking pics in my iPhone!

It was a great experience. It was a wonderful day at the Lynn Canyon Park because of you and all your knowledge. Thanks 🙂

We spent a few hours walking around the beautiful Lynn canyon and Nafees showed me lots of techniques to take good photos – very helpful and interesting.

Photographs came out very well. Enjoyed hike.

I was very lucky to be the only person on this trip with Nafees to Lynn Canyon and I cannot speak highly enough of Nafees and his great personal and photography skills. A very relaxed and friendly guy who taught me some useful skills and was very happy to offer helpful advice on my photography as well as my trip around the rest of BC. My time went very quickly. Not much walking involved and took some good photos of the river, glacial swimming hole and the trees of course. We focused more on making use of the light thru the trees and the importance of framing your photos. Thanks so much Nafees for a really enjoyable day and for all of your helpful advice for the rest of my trip!

Had a wonderful evening @ Lynn Canyon thanks to Nafees. We were able to enjoy the park and learn some info and history. And as if that weren’t enough, he spent time teaching all of us to feel comfortable with settings on our cameras other than auto. We all came with different levels of experience and different cameras, but he left us all feeling that we could navigate through the various settings..bye bye auto… What a great evening!

This walking photo tour is casual and relaxed and will make anyone comfortable with their camera. He has knowledge of whatever camera you bring that quickly allows you to set the camera up for amazing photos. Don’t worry about the weather, he will show you how to get close-ups, portraits, landscapes, and special effects that will be the talk of the town. Well worth the cost. Big Bang for the buck.

I am very happy that I decided on joining the excursion to Mt. Seymour with Nafees. It was a very spontaneous decision however Nafees was very welcoming. It is a lovely trip having the opportunity to take a lot of pictures. The timing was perfect in the afternoon/evening. Nafees was a great guide who had so many and valuable hints and tricks for my new camera. I would love to join again! I definitely recommend this excursion!

Great day out with Nafees. I got to learn more about my new DSLR and how to shoot in Manual mode as opposed to Auto and Aperture priority mode and saw beautiful scenery and flora along the way.

A great experience. Nafees has shown us really beautiful places that are not teeming with tourists. He explained to me how to adjust my automatic camera to get the most out of the photos. He has always taken to explain the camera settings. A very nice tour.

Nafees certainly has a passion for hikes, photography and welcoming guests to the area. Meeting up, transportation, the whole tour was all set up with efficiency while conversing in a friendly manner throughout. Definitely recommend!!

Excellent hiking experience, above and beyond my expectations. Nafees is an exceptional guide and photographer. He is a knowledgeable, easy going person. Highly recommend him.

I had a great experience. Nafees was excellent with tips & tricks to hiking and photography. I would highly recommend this experience.

Guys. Let’s be honest with each other. I had absolutely zero business being on this trail. When people from British Columbia indicate that a trail is “intermediate,” please remember that they are gazelles. The fact that I got safely up and down is solely due to Nafees’ skill as a guide. He is amazing and kind. Despite all of my clonking around, this was still somehow fun. On top of this — he is an amazing (antelope-eyed?) photographer. If you have the chance to participate in this or in one of his other experiences you won’t regret it.

The hike with Nafees was great, he knew the place very well and he’s super friendly. The hike is demanding because there are many steps to climb, so you have to be physically fit. The view at the top is amazing and Nafees is a super good photographer. He gives lots of tips to get the best pictures. I recommend this experience, you will love it.

This was an awesome experience. We had little knowledge of picture taking but Nafees made the experience worth our trip. His one on one training with the camera helped so much. His insight into the history of the Lynn Canyon was fascinating. Overall wonderful experience.

We had a great time. Nafees made sure all levels were taught something new. We had enough time to explore on our own. My 18 year old appreciates the freedom.

Great experience, Nafees was knowledgeable, friendly and gave some great tips for capturing the best photos. Thank you.

Learned a lot about setting on my camera phone! It was a beautiful hike with a great view!

Thanks Nash for a great day. The weather did help, lots of sunshine, beautiful scenery and a great coach.

This is a fantastic experience! Nafees is so friendly and knowledgeable, I learned so much about photography which I can’t wait to try out again. The location is amazing and it’s great to get somewhere out of downtown Vancouver where you might not venture by yourself. Highly recommend!

Nafees is fantastic! We had such an enjoyable day with him. I had a DSLR and my friend had her iPhone and Nash was great moving back and forth between us to offer suggestions and tips. We weren’t rushed and didn’t feel any pressure or stress in using our cameras. Nash was so relaxed and so were we. We had some awesome views and lots of laughs. I highly recommend his tours to any level of photographer and even if you’re not into photography, just enjoy the amazing vistas and the nature walk. Also, don’t be deterred by less than perfect weather, as Nash shows you how to make adjustments and still capture the majesty of the scenery around you. I just need to figure out an excuse to get out to Vancouver to take another tour with him!

Nafees is a great host! He knows a lot of the region and taught me a lot of the parts around Vancouver. The hike was in a great location, with 2-3 buses from where we meet up. The view at the top justified the hike and we got to see a lot of region. Nafees also took pictures of me at the various points with his professional camera. He also showcased his knowledge with photography and taught me new tricks with the camera. Overall, it was great to learn more about the Vancouver region and hike the mountain. I would recommend the trip if you’re getting into photography and want to explore the greater Vancouver region at a more personal level.

I can’t recommend this experience enough. Nafees was a wealth of information, both related to Vancouver and photography, and gave us the most memorable day. We’re so grateful for his time and for making our trip to Vancouver even more special. If you’re on the fence, trust me: you won’t regret booking this experience.

I very nearly cancelled this experience as my luggage disappeared in transit. I wasn’t dressed appropriately, I had a ridiculous pair of shoes on and my camera was also in my missing suitcase. I’m so pleased that I didn’t cancel, Nafees bought along an SLR for me, but I actually had Nafees teach me how to take lovely images using my iPhone. I gained so much while taking in the gorgeous canyon and Nafees has a wealth of knowledge about Vancouver and the surrounding areas.

A beautiful hike up Stawamus Chief’s Rock. Nafees was a great guide and spent time reminding me how to get off manual mode on a digital camera. I would highly recommend this tour.

Had an amazing experience! Very cool spots and an even more knowledgeable guide.

Awesome experience would highly recommend!

Nafees is a very sympathetic person and was very present and caring. He has good photography knowledge and could easily teach me basic skills.

Nafees was an excellent guide throughout our hike in Squamish. He is exceptionally attentive to everyone’s needs and hiking abilities, knows all of the best spots for photo ops, and took us to some beautiful spots even some locals don’t know about. I highly recommend that everyone try this experience.

Nafees was friendly, outgoing and personable. He was knowledgeable about both photography and the area and great at instructing a novice such as myself. The hike was both entertaining and informative. I recommend highly.

Nafees was an exceptional guide. He was extremely accommodating, very knowledgeable and most importantly friendly. He took the time to show me how to use my new camera and take practice pictures. Lynn Canyon is breathtaking beautiful!! I would highly recommend thus experience!

I really enjoyed this experience. I learned more about photography and got to experience a super beautiful hike and waterfall. I would definitely recommend this.

The hike was really fun to have a tour guide (Nash) who also taught me about my Google Pixel phone to take better pictures. We ended up going on Victoria Day (Canada holiday) which was not too bad for crowd. It was gloomy and raining, but once under the trees, it was a nice day! We got tons of wonderful photos together as well as ones that Nash sent us to cherish. I would recommend this tour to those who are just arriving in Vancouver for the first time to learn more about the area as well as get those lovely photos to share.

This is a great guided hiking experience. Nafees is an amazing guide and is very warm and welcoming. The hike itself is gorgeous as the forest is a very soothing place. The hike leads to quarry rock, a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the water and islands below. Nafees has great tips on how to shoot good photos and is very knowledgeable about the history of the surrounding environment. I would definitely recommend this to visitors.

This was a truly incredible day with Nafees! My daughter and I felt very comfortable with him. He is a very genuine person and we felt like we were hanging out with family. His knowledge was top notch and he was good at explaining what we needed to know. We had a lot of laughs and he didn’t rush any part of this tour, it was a most relaxing and wonderful day! Would come over and over again.

Nafees was an amazing guide I’ve ever met. He was very knowledgeable about both of photography and hiking. I got lots of photography tips through his instruction. He was also nice, friendly person to get along with and patient teacher 🙂 I would highly recommend it.

This is a beautiful hike and Nafees is a phenomenal host and guide! He was super friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend his tour and the view was totally worth it.

He took us through a beautiful hike in Lynn Canyon. He was a patient, knowledgeable and friendly teacher of photography who could just as easily help us with our cameras as with our phone cameras. He’s also an experienced traveler who had great stories about many parts of the world including Vancouver.

This experience with Nafees was honestly wonderful. It’s a great way to get out of the city and see PNW beauty. Also, he’s very knowledgable about photography. We walked away better photographers than we walked in!

The experience is very good, Nafees is very good to take us to the scenery of the Lynn Canyon, and also teach us how to make good-looking photos one by one.

Would really recommend Nafees’ hike. I don’t have much hiking or photography experience so this ticked all the boxes. Gorgeous view point and Nafees shared some amazing pics he’d been taking afterwards which was a lovely touch.

I loved this photography hike. The woods are absolutely beautiful and picturesque and the guide has valuable local knowledge and is super friendly. Totally recommend this for anyone wanting to get out of the city and see some beautiful scenery!

It was a fantastic trip, he was a great guide, knew what he was talking about and took fantastic photos. Highly recommend it!

Thank you so much! I had such a great time!

Nafees is a great guide – very knowledgeable and chatty. I was hoping to do more intensive hiking while in Vancouver but unfortunately had a cold. However, this hike was no more than a couple of hours and not too steep which was ideal for me. The scenery was stunning and I really enjoyed learning how to take more interesting photos – even with just a camera phone. A great tour if you want to see some of the amazing landscape not far from the city.

This was an incredible experience! Perfect for photography newbies and Lynn Canyon was amazing! Nafees our host, gave me some great tips with my smart phones camera features which was a great help.

It was a wonderful hike with Nafees. He is helpful, kind and attentive. There are several waterfalls near the trail, and he helped me take good pictures of the waterfalls so specifically. I learned a lot from him, and I became more interested in photography. Thanks, Nafees!

A very nice walk in the forest which leads to a great panorama. I was able to discover new features on my smartphone with Nafees. He put a lot of attention for me whose first language isn’t English.

Very good Photo Walk. A full day activity with lots of good spots and suggestions. If you have one day I recommend this activity with Nafees.

Good dude, good time.

Nafees provided a really unique and fun experience for my short visit to Vancouver. The booking process was easy and he laid out the agenda/meeting point very well. It was also nice not have to figure out transportation – he takes care of that. Nafees is very passionate about photography and loves sharing his experience. I really appreciate how he taught the basics of photography without getting too technical. He did a great job of tailoring the day to the specific needs/wants of the members of the group. Highly recommend – if available do yourself a favor and book his Airbnb experience – you won’t regret it!

I really had a great time going for a hike with Nafees. He is knowledgeable about photography, so I was able to learn a lot from him. He is friendly, helpful and kind. It was such a good time to share our travel experiences and stories. I recommend this to those who like hiking and taking pictures.Thanks!

I had a great time on the excursion! Nafees was great, friendly and instructive. He gave tips on everything from hiking and photography and even had a list of his favourite places in Vancouver for out of towners like me. The hike was a great mix of challenging to easy terrain and there was good landscape variation from rain forest, to poplar forests to waterfalls. I had a blast and would definitely recommend it!

Nafees was super friendly and helpful, and was very knowledgeable about both the area and how to take some great pictures of the rainforest – whether we were using a smartphone or an actual camera. Pick up and drop off was super easy and convenient. Definitely would do again (next time on a longer hike!!)

This is an excellent tour showcasing some of Vancouver’s stunning scenery, led by Nafees, our knowledgeable and very friendly guide. Ideal if you are looking for a half day hike, not too strenuous, with some help to getting the best out of your camera too. Highly recommended.

This trip is amazing! Nafees is a really good photographer and I really enjoyed learning about photography skills and hearing travel stories from him.

Nafees is an amazing photographer and definitely knows his history when he told us stories about the landmarks we went too. Would recommend to book this experience.

My husband and I really enjoyed the tour. Nafees was very patient with us and took great photos. The places he took us to in Lynn Canyon were absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended!

This is the right tour guys!!! Nafees knows all the special spots to get great pics. You will be as satisfied as I was. I’m going to try his other tours.

Nafees was a great host and taught us some great tips for photography. The park was very beautiful, I just wish we could have gone a bit deeper and saw more of it. Overall, a really nice, beautiful, and educational experience.

This tour is a MUST for people visiting Vancouver. Nafees is a wonderful tour guide, really knowledgeable about the area as well as photography…and very easy going. I only had a smartphone with me to take photos and he showed me some excellent tips on how to capture the best photos of nature! He was patient, answered all my questions and genuinely cared that I had a good experience. Couldn’t recommend this enough. Thank you Nafees for a great experience!

We were lucky enough to be the only two for the hike that day and it was definitely worth it. Nafees KNEW Vancouver and the what it has to offer. I never really knew why my photos never captured the beautiful scenery the way I saw it- I read, I watched videos- but having Nafees and his in-depth knowledge there as you are taking a photo was something special. My photos look great and he captured some beautiful photos of us as well. Definitely the highlight of our trip to Vancouver! Wished we did a longer hike!

This experience is great and I highly recommend it to everyone visiting Vancouver, Nafees is very nice and he has a solid knowledge about photography and would like to share those knowledge with you. The trip will take you to see many secret beautiful spots in Lynne canyon and the whole experience was truly amazing, relaxing and fun.

This was my first photography workshop and I truly enjoyed it. Nafees is extremely skilled & passionate at what he does. He made sure I understood the basics and shared lot of tips and tricks. Thank you for the wonderful experience Nafees!

Excellent hike in deep cove with great tips on photography, Vancouver in general and for general chat! Would recommend taking a walk with Nafees!

We had an excellent time exploring Lynn Valley with Nafees. He is very knowledgeable about photography and easy to get along with. I highly recommend joining him for a hike if you can!

Regardless of your photography experience, Nafees will make your experience fun, knowledgeable & productive.

Great tour. Very difficult, but very fun. Knowledgeable host.

Nafees is a really friendly, knowledgeable guide. He genuinely cared for everyone’s safety and comfort throughout, in terms of pace. He gave pointers about how to take different types of photos (even on my iPhone!). We took a bus ride from downtown, into the small town where the hike up Seymour Mt started. There are several places to eat and shop afterwards, which is what we did (this was separate from the actual tour).

I really recommend this experience or any other with Nafees, he’s really a very cool person, knowledgeable, we learnt about photograph and the place. We had an excellent chat in this experience. Thanks for sharing with us Nafees.

You can trust Nafees, he is a great host and knows how to hike!

Great and beautiful adventure, ideal for early spring season when snow hasn’t cleared from other higher-elevation summits. Highly recommend.

Nafees was wonderful and knowledgeable! We had a lovely time hiking Mt. Seymour, and Nafees was always quick with a fun fact or a photography pointer to help us take better photos. I also appreciated his willingness to take photos of all of us as mementos of our trip. What a wonderful way to hike Vancouver!

I did the Mount Seymour hike with Nafees, had a wonderful time. It is really fun talking to Nafees and he keeps you engaged all the time. The views from the hike were great and we were blessed with a really sunny day.

Great guided hike in Squamish. Nafees does well to work with the group and ensure even if there are a range of abilities everyone feels included.

Wonderful experience! My host was very knowledgeable! He payed attention to detail and helped me with my camera settings.

Wonderful experience! Great views, great company, and great photography tips. Highly recommended.

Nafees is a great guy! The kind of guy you’d want to have a beer with and we actually did after the tour!

Great tour!! Book any trip with Nafees you can’t go wrong.

This experience was amazing even in the rain! I wasn’t sure how it would turn out due to the weather but it was great. It was easy to meet everyone at Starbucks and to commute to/from the park. As others have mentioned, Nafees is a friendly host and was easy to communicate with. He was also well knowledgeable about photography, etc! Lynn park is gorgeous and the suspension bridge was not crowded at all. While journeying through the park, we were able to take several pics and to have our pictures taken by Nafees. Throughout the tour, he gave us pointers on how to improve our photography shots. Overall, I enjoyed this experience and I think you will too if you love taking photos, nature, and interacting with new people. Be sure to wear proper shoes and clothing (If it’s raining, have a waterproof jacket with a hoodie). This experience was one of the highlights of my trip to Vancouver! Thanks Nafees!

My best Airbnb experience thus far!!!!! A must to seek Nafees when in Vancouver. It was fun and educational for me. Many thanks for the tips on photography, travel, the beautiful pictures and your patience.

These outings are so much fun with Nafees. He’s very patient and teaches you a lot about photography while having a really good time and seeing really cool places.

Nafees is an excellent guide. He took us to places that I would have never gone on my own. Highly recommend!!

Nafees was very knowledgeable about the area we went to as well as a knowledge of photography which helped me with my photography. I was able to take better photos from his instructions. He was also very pleasant.

Nafees was great! Very knowledgeable and very friendly! I would say that I am more inspired after this experience to start taking more photos and get my very own DSLR camera. The day was very raining, but still amazing and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this experience.

Really enjoyable day out! Took some great pictures and experienced some amazing views!

Great experience. Got to learn more about photography while walking around an amazing scenery.

Nafees is awesome and very resourceful! He is patient and very friendly. He was prompt, knowledgeable and very warm and interactive. Such a great experience!

It was a great experience to see the Lynn Canyon trough your eyes, I learned a lot about how to take pictures differently. Thank you also for all other information we got about the beautiful city Vancouver and the environment.

Absolutely marvelous! Highly recommend!

Nafees’ passion for photography and Vancouver clearly showed in this experience. We had a wonderful time exploring the different areas of Stanley Park and English Bay. Nafees helped capture amazing pictures on both our smartphones and his camera. He taught us different tricks on how to use a smartphone camera to capture unbelievable photos. He patiently answered all our questions and was a lot of fun to hang out with. We were very glad to have started our Vancouver trip with this experience. Highly highly recommended.

The instructor is very friendly and knowledgeable about photography as well as the location. I got answers to all my questions and I liked that I get to learn a bit about the history of the areas where we shot. This is the second experience I took with Nafees, and I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn how to take better photos.

If you are wanting to explore Bowen Island and take advantage of experienced photography Guide Nash it the person you will want to book with. His genuine passion for hiking and photography will have you in the best places for landscape compositions. He is able to catering to all photography skill levels. I had the pleasure of doing Bowen Island and Mount Seymour day Photography tours with Nash and loved both days and had amazing images. His organisation and communication is faultless, the tours are fun and offer local knowledge and fantastic photography locations. Thank you Nash easy going personality and a fun two days. Highly recommend.

I would highly recommend the Gas Town/China Town night photography tour. Nafees was a great host and knowledgeable of the area. I wouldn’t be a newcomer to photography, but Nafees provided me some great tips and tricks I’ll try going forward. He also is a great person to chat with over two hours. I felt we got to know each other pretty well and shared some good stories. You can’t argue with the price!

This was such a great experience, and Nafees was an exceptional host. He is patient and a very good teacher, and helped me understand the photography techniques behind taking pictures at night. It was great to be able to practice and get his immediate feedback. Seeing Gastown at night with Nafees was fun and a real treat. I very much hope I have an opportunity to take more of his photo tours.

Nafees’ tour is one of a kind. He’s a great teacher and made a great travel friend for a day as I followed him in Lyn Canyon and Stanley Park. He knew all the spots to take photos and catered towards my desire for wildlife photos. Made my Vancouver visit truly memorable!

Nafees was an excellent guide who put together a great trip. Thoughtful and fun. He also helped me greatly improve my photography skills. I highly recommend him for any tours.

My family and I had a wonderful time with this walking/photography tour. Nafees shared his photography tips openly and kept us engaged with our surroundings during the three hour walk. Would highly recommend this Airbnb experience!

Really enjoy the trip. Nafees is so friendly and kind. He explains alot of things about the places we went to and also ways in using the right technique in order to get the best and precise shot. And I’m so happy that I can get a nice photos of myself too!

Such a great tour. My kids are really into photography and learned a lot from Nafees.

Nafees was really nice and taught us useful photography techniques!

I like that I learned about basic night photography as well as some history about Gastown and the area near it. Nafees shows his enthusiasm and expertise on photography all the time. I was 10 minutes late for the session and Nafees was considerate about it 🙂 This experience taught me a lot that I booked Nafees’ other photography class immediately after.

It was a great experience and Nafees knows the best way to avoid the crowds. It’s a beautiful hike that’s not too long but very beautiful and has lot of opportunities for great photos. He helped everyone of different skill levels to get the best shots.

This is a great little tour out to the locals spot of Lynn Canyon. Nafees knows where to get the best shots and gives great advice. It was great to get off the beaten track and see this unique forest not too far from downtown Vancouver.

Lynn Canyon Park was amazing and we could have not done this without the help of Nafees. Commuting via bus was a different experience. We started late due to unexpected circumstances, otherwise we had a great time and we were able to capture beautiful pictures!

Nafees is great! My boys (age 13 & 10) really appreciated and enjoyed his photography lesson. This experience was the best experience during our Vancouver trip.

I had an incredible time and will always remember it! Lynn Canyon is an amazing place! Nafees is really knowledgeable and you will learn a lot with him 🙂 I highly recommend it, you won’t be disappointed!

Really great experience! Nafees helped me get some really good shots!

Highly recommend this experience, to the extent that I am doing other experiences with Nafees!

Night photography with Nafees was fantastic. My son is getting into photography and was starting from scratch with a DSLR. Nafees guided him in the basics of photography while helping him understand how to use the features of his camera. Throughout the night, Nafees helped us understand the different parts of downtown Vancouver, why he chose them for night photography, and how to use our own equipment (DSLR for my son, phone cameras for my daughter and me) to get the best shots. It was a great experience!

Very good experience, not only learned some shooting skills, met another cute little friend, the organizer also shared some local cultural stories, the experience is unforgettable, very nice!

My experience with Nafees was incredible! We walked around Stanley Park and he took as many pictures of me as I wanted! We had a great conversation and I feel like I made a new friend with him and the others in the group. Thank you, Nafees!

My son and I had a wonderful time with Nafees, he showed us around Stanley park and he showed us how take professional photos with our smartphone and also showed us some cool tips and tricks with the camera. Enjoyed the whole experience overall,would recommend this to everyone.

Great guy. Easy to talk to and made it lots of fun to walk around. Definitely a funny guy! Enjoyed the whole thing and would do it again.

This experience was very cool! Nafees was professional and very knowledgeable about his work! Really enjoyed my time in this beautiful environment!!

Amazing tour guide and wonderful experience.

Do it!

I highly recommend this if you don’t have night plans or can’t figure out what to do. Being a very amateur photographer myself, night photography has always been something I’ve wanted to try but never had the confidence to do. My friend and I felt completely safe walking around niche parts of town with Nafees and he not only showed us great areas for pictures, but took and shared pictures of us in action as well and it made our trip all the more memorable. I also got to learn a lot about adjusting the fstop, iso, etc. and got to try my new prime lens out on this trip and it made for some really cool pictures, especially with long exposure. I highly recommend this, even if you don’t have a dslr and just have a smartphone, he caters to your needs/skill level well!

Our experience with Nafees was top-notch! My husband and I truly enjoyed exploring the nature of Vancouver with Nafees. We got some AMAZING photos and learned so many great things about this city and it’s people. Would highly recommend this experience!

Nafees is passionate and knowledgeable person. I was truly happy to be coming his guest!

I genuinely had an amazing time with Nafees. I was the only guest to attend during my trip so it felt special because of the one on one interaction. The scenery is gorgeous and I came right in time for snow fall which made pictures 10x better (March 11). I will say, if you’re not use to hiking, this trail isn’t that easy for most. But, give this experience a shot and you won’t regret it.

I had always been quite uneasy and diffident taking night photographs. Nafees introduced us with how to control the light and depth of fields by manually adjusting the shutter speed and aperture, very important aspects of night photography. He took us for the actual photo walk after the brief and allowed us to take photos, gave feedback on them and also took some great photographs of us. He also taught us some other photography techniques which are difficult to explain in words. The night photography walk was totally worth it.

So glad that I decided to book this experience. Nafees is a really cool and down to earth guy and I enjoyed the hike and photography lesson with him today. He’s funny, well traveled, and easy to relate to. He knows the trail well and I learned how to take much better pictures on my travels. I highly suggest booking this tour if you’re considering it, trust!

Vancouver gas town is a great place to take night photography – and Nafees gives all sorts of tips to take beautiful pictures during night time! I genuinely enjoyed the experience. It’s still bit cold at night so I recommend to be prepared for it!

Awesome way to experience this hike! Some beautiful memories captured!

Nafees is a passionate host that has an incredible understanding of the history of Vancouver. More important for me personally was his profound knowledge of photography. Nafees knows how to operate under any type of lighting. He’s also more than happy to work with you on photography tips no matter your skill level or camera (I had an iPhone). If you have the chance over the course of a few days, sign up for all three of his tours (Stanley park, Gastown & Chinatown Night Photography and Lynn Canyon). The pictures came out incredible and Nafees was able to send the pictures promptly. I’d recommend doing all three tours but space them out because there’s a decent amount of walking. Incredible tour.

This was the third tour I did with Nafees, and possibly my favorite. Stanley Park is gorgeous and Nafees’ tour during the golden hour yielded some amazing photographs. Highly recommended.

This was the perfect hiking experience! Very scenic, not too long/difficult, and Nafees was really great. He’s extremely knowledgeable and I enjoyed hearing all of his stories and picking his brain about Vancouver. He also gave really helpful photography tips & stopped at a bunch of good photo spots along the way and shares pictures with you later. It was 100% worth it & I highly recommend it!

Great experience! We got to check out quiet and unexplored places in Lynn Canyon, practice foundational photo techniques, and get great photos!

Nafees was an awesome guide and knowledgeable about photography. I liked him so much I signed up for his Stanley Park tour as well.

Nafees is so personable and knows a lot about shooting photography. He’s patient and encouraging. Glad to meet him.

Nafees was patient and helpful. He helped ensure each person left with great photos. Lynn Canyon was beautiful and the hike was an overall great experience.

Nafees is great, and the park is amazingly beautiful 🙂

Nafees is one of the most genuine guides I’ve ever met. He makes you feel like a friend right away. Nafees made sure everyone felt safe, and went at a secure pace as it snowed the night before. He took many photos with my own device as well as his camera (to share later). I am very glad I got to experience this and will recommend to any friend that will be visiting Vancouver.

It was definitely one of the highlights of my visit here in Vancouver. I had a great time exploring many unique areas and overall an amazing experience. Would love to do it again.

Awesome experience! Awesome views and great experience for everyone.

I had a great moment suspended in time. The place is magical, Nafees puts in confidence, he is attentive, knows the place very well. Communication was easy. I recommend with eyes closed!

What a magical awe inspiring experience. I’m beyond grateful I got to play in the snow and experience the beauty of nature with Nafees and through his lens (pun intended). Thank you for being an excellent guide. I hope to return to Lynn Canyon again!

Had a great experience hiking Lynn Canyon with Nafees and the rest of our group. Great tour guide with knowledge to access to some parts of the canyon only locals like him would know and happy to take you there for you to see, really good photo scenery. Also very good knowledge of professional cameras and advice for settings outside the “auto” mode for an amateur like me to take very decent pictures, that was a plus. Will definitely do another tour with Nafees another time when I return to Vancouver.It was a great experience, the place is really beautiful if you like nature. Nafees showed me how to use my cell phone camera and was always attentive and worried about my safety since it had been snowed and there were areas that could be slippery. I definitely recommend this experience.

Very nice tour. trails are great. Can’t really see the mountains and cities due to fog. But i still had a great time walking with Nafees! And the trails aren’t long and the whole trip is quite relaxing. Also Nafees take photos very well! Recommended!

I am very new to photography and Nafees was super helpful and patient with teaching me how to work my camera and take amazing photos! Was a really great experience!

Took really stunning photos!

Nafees is personable, and well informed. I felt instantly comfortable with him as we wandered around taking a range of shots with different techniques. Had a great time. Recommend gloves for wintertime!

Nafees was super nice and accommodating ! He catered the tour as per my wishes and what he though would work best for me ! I definitely learnt photography techniques from him and he took some great photographs of me 🙂 was a great experience!

Definitely recommend this experience! Nafees was an excellent guide we learned about photo techniques and he made the experience very easy!! Highlight of our trip by far!

I’m an amateur when it comes to photography and Nafees was able to teach me numerous tips and tricks not just for shooting landscape photography but things that will help me take all of my photos to the next level. The hike in and out of Lynn Canyon can be accomplished by those with little to no prior hiking experience (though proper footwear and clothing is a must) but will still satisfy seasoned outdoor enthusiasts with its incredible fauna, waterfalls, and views from the suspension bridge. Nafees is very kind and personable, so much so that I walked away feeling like I had taken a stroll through the forest with old friends, when we had only met less than two hours before. If you are a photographer of any ability who is interested in capturing some unique photos and enjoying a beautiful coastal rainforest, look no further! This experience checks all the boxes.

Amazing experience! I had done snowshoeing before, and I loved it, but this tour is definitely something unique! Nash was an amazing guide! I definitely recommend this tour, but you should be prepared for a good work out (nothing extreme, but you do walk around 5 kms with the snowshoes that are a bit heavy, and your jacket, and everything else). The views and the overall experience are definitely worth it!

We loved our hiking and photography experience with Nafees! It was the perfect opportunity to explore a part of Vancouver we had not seen before, with some even better company! He is very personable and easy to talk to, and makes the experience worthwhile. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone!

Awesome, insightful, and well knowledgeable. someone that is down to earth, I would recommend him to my friends and family.

Beautiful tour at Alexander Falls Absolutely amazing first part. My first time on snow-shoes, and that went well for the first part. In the second part, more experience would have been nice. That part was not for all.

Great hike

I loved my previous experience with Nafees so much (Lynn Canyon), that I decided to book with him again! It can be pretty daunting to do night photography at first, but Nafees teaches you some really helpful tips! He took me on a mini tour of Gastown along the way and was full of knowledge about the area. It honestly felt like I was hanging out with a friend more than anything else. His easygoing and friendly nature makes him so easy to be around. I would highly recommend any of his trips! 🙂

Nafees was great! He made our experience super fun and educational. He went over specific concepts of basic photography during different parts of the hike and used our surroundings for examples. Lynn Canyon was absolutely beautiful and it was great having someone know the lay of the land. He gave us great tips for places to visit in the city. He was very kind and knowledgeable.

Nafees is a very personable, intelligent, and hilarious individual! I enjoyed his teaching style, and found that he was able to explain difficult concepts in an easy manner. He was also very patient and supportive of everyone’s learning needs. In terms of the scenery, Lynn Canyon was perfect! The suspension bridge, greenery, and river combined made for some amazing shots. I feel as though I learned so much in such a short time span. Thank you Nafees for such a great experience!

Nafees took me around all the cool spots in Gastown, Chinatown and Canada Place for this evening photography tour. He showed me how to capture the best photos in these areas and gave me some great tips on night photography. Very friendly, polite and talented guy, definitely recommend if you’re looking for something to do with your evenings downtown!

Nafees knows local secrets that even a local like myself wouldn’t know. Went to Lynn Canyon tour with him and was surprised to learn about the Twin falls bridge, despite having visited that park myself several times. He teaches photography tips, regardless if you’re a smartphone novice or an experienced DSLR user. I’ve been on many previous tours with Nature Photohikes since 2015 and the trips are always bound to leave you with many Instagram-worthy moments.

Such an amazing experience! Nafees was an excellent guide and made the experience worth while. Definitely recommend if you’re traveling and would like someone who knows the area. So glad that I booked snowshoeing and have excellent pictures to capture my trip! He was awesome and helping capture the moment!

This was my first ever AirBnb experience and I can’t say enough great things about it!!! Nafees was amazing, informative and friendly and welcoming. The entire group was so wonderful, it was a great afternoon. I highly recommend booking a tour with Nafees, you won’t regret it!

Beautiful hiking in an area that is off the main tourist track.

The guide has good experience for enjoying beautiful views. It is a good experience. There is some hide place that this person can lead you in!

Highly recommended!! Experienced, friendly, patient – Nash was very friendly and extremely accommodating for our family (2 adults and 2 kids) of beginner snowshoers. He was patient with our constant stops and his experience helped us in areas of difficult terrain. Highly recommended. We’d love to come back to conquer Garibaldi lake with you.

It was a beautiful experience. After the trip with Nafees, I feel like I am a professional photographer. I would recommend all the tourist to try this small tour with Nafees and learn a lot about Vancouver.

Amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable about photography and the city. Took us to beautiful locations to take pictures! Would definitely recommend this tour to everyone!

I loved it. best hike ever and took some amazing shots just with my phone!

Trip of a lifetime: I didn’t realise what a joy a nature photography tour is until I took this with my adult son who also loves photography. Nash was the perfect and kind navigator thru the forest. Forest-bathing detox and fitness benefits, treasure hunting in nature, the best Eggs Benedict on this charming island. Near enough to the city but totally a different world!

Very pretty hike and learned some new tricks with my iPhone camera for the best photos.

If you wanna feel nature in Vancouver, I’ll definitely recommend you to go this hiking. He knows a lot of things about Lynne Canyon. He also told me about camera.

Nafees is very kind and it is amazing trip. Very recommendable. He showed me his camera skills very kindly and added some fun and excitement with his special trails and routes. It has become a very precious Christmas.

Awesome!! It was my first experience of snowshoeing and I enjoyed alot. Thanks to Nafees for taking cool pictures.

Amazing hike tour 🙂 This was a great hiking tour at Lynn Canyon. Nafees is knowledgeable about the area, he is kind and very helpful to show how to capture good picture with great techniques. Highly recommended for solo, couples or family travellers with Nafees.

The hiking was amazing! And Nafees is extremely friendly and an amazing guide!

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this excursion but I’m so glad I went! Nafees was an amazing tour guide he was fun to talk to and gave me lots of info to side me in my Vancouver trip. His knowledge of the area and of photography helped make the experience unforgettable me. I recommend this to anyone who wants to see the beauty Vancouver has to offer.

Nafees is very knowledgeable and I immensely enjoyed my experience. If you are looking for a nice hike with lots of beautiful photo opportunities, I highly recommend you check this out.

Was a gorgeous tour, and he was very helpful with using your camera the right way and he definitely knew the area.

I cannot say enough about the positive experience we just had with Nash at Nature PhotoHikes. From ease of rescheduling (due to an airline travel delay) to the perfect balance of guidance and time to explore on our own, he was an ideal guide. He even got my 15-year old daughter, who “knows everything” she needs to know about photography to listen and learn a few new tricks. The photos we walked away with were astoundingly beautiful and balanced, owing partly to the beauty of Lynn Canyon, which was a perfect hike for us. I highly recommend this organization and look forward to another hike in the near future.

Nafees was a great guide through Lynn Canyon. The scenery was beautiful and I left with some amazing pictures. This was a highlight of my weekend in Vancouver and I would highly recommend to others visiting the area.

I had a really great time hiking through the Lynn Canyon with Nafees, and took some really lovely photos. Nafees was really friendly and knowledgeable, both about photography and everything related to Vancouver. I would definitely recommend this experience!

Nafees was a great guide to the Lynn Canyon and was very helpful with all manner of photography questions. He ensured we arrived safely, stayed safe while he taught some tricks of photography and got us back to town. It was a great area to hike around and even my parents, who didn’t do any photography, were happy to be out exploring nature. It was a wonderful trip and even came with some tips for Chinatown (where we got dropped off after the hike).

It was really easy to meet and get there (Nafees took us by public bus). It’s a lovely part of Vancouver, easy walking options, great views. Nafees knows a lot about the area, showed us some off-trail spots for some nice shots. He gave us some great photography tips, and we had a good time. We need to go back!

The park is beautiful and Nafees is an excellent and patient guide. In a few minutes I learned more from him about outdoor photography than I had gleaned from several books! He was wonderful with the whole family as well.

Had a great time hiking in Lynn park. Would like to do that again. Forest was amazing and I enjoyed the conversation with Nafees very much ~he is knowledgeable and fun to hang around with. It’s definitely one of the experiences you would not want to miss in Vancouver ~Highly recommended.

From the get-go, Nafees was super energetic and happy to show us around the city of Vancouver. Being that he grew up in the city, he was more than happy to give up tips on how to get around the city and what other sights to see. He was everything I wanted in a tour guide — patient, knowledgeable, and hilarious! He was also there to take pictures when my now-fiancé proposed on the suspension bridge ❤️❤️ that is a memory that we will remember forever, and we cannot thank him enough for that!

Simple experience, but absolutely satisfying! The bridge and the park are very beautiful and definitely less crowded than the more touristy (and expensive) Capilano Suspension Bridge. Nafees is a great guide, passionate and helpful, he gave me a lot of advice on how to take better pictures and he also offered to accompany me on the beach, after the excursion to the park, to photograph the sunset. All in all definitely recommended!

Nafees was very friendly and polite. He is a fine photographer and takes time to teach you the finetuning of your camera. he knows his way around and is happy to share his knowings and his friendship.

I did Quarry rock and Lynn Canyon full day trip. Nash was great! He had great tips and the photographs looked awesome. He picked me up from my stay as I was the only one on the hike and was courteous and accommodating.

I booked the full-day Vancouver sightseeing and photography tour in late October and had a fantastic day out. Nash, my guide and photography teacher, took me to all the major sights worth seeing around Vancouver at a really great pace that was enjoyable with plenty of time for questions, chit chat and photography tips. Nash is a really talented photographer and a great teacher, as well as a knowledgeable local. I highly recommend this tour! I felt it was great value for money and I’ve come away with fantastic photos to remember my time in Vancouver!

At One with Nature and Breathtaking Scenery to Photograph – A sensational tour with Nash,(we almost missed the bus!!) Our memories are still very fresh in our minds of our first experience of walking in the lush forest with Squamish down below. The morning was a little foggy and cool, but that makes for even better photography. Then the sun came out in the afternoon, highlighting the snow-capped mountains. Just awesome! Nash had great stories and we swapped many of those while on our walk. His assistance with camera settings and positioning shots carefully, really made a difference to the quality of my photography memories. Nash’s friendly and easy going manner made our first trip in Canada truly an event not to miss, we are so wonderfully pleased that we booked this event. The glorious part was that there was hardly anyone else on our walking trail! Extraordinary! Thank you Nash for the laughs!

Nafees, my guide, took me to some really great, low-travelled places on our hike. He knows all the highlights, what times are best for light/photographs, how to avoid the crowds, and how to help me with my camera. We also went to three or four off the beaten path locations for some amazing shots of water falls and streams. I bought a 4 hour tour, and while Nafees offers longer (and shorter) ones, it was the perfect amount of time and pace for my short vacation.

I think you may be selling yourself short online! I had an amazing time today and I never would’ve guessed that I was going to have such a stellar time. I appreciate the friendly conversation and getting to know you and your life in Vancouver (and abroad). Thank you so much for sharing your time with me and offering this really fun service. Things like this typically go really great or really bad and you have the perfect personality for this job and amazing skills to teach. Thank you again.

I visited Vancouver on vacations, looking for some adventures. I did some hikes around the city, but even before coming I had Nafees photo tours in my sight. He normally doesn’t do hikes to Joffre this late in the year, but we were lucky the weather was good, and he was nice to accommodate me and other two hikers when the day allowed it. He even got to plan around and pick me up from my hotel at Whistler! Overall, Nafees is a great guide, not only very knowledgeable, but also very friendly and with a lot of stories to tell! The views at Joffre are stunning, and he knows the best spots to take photos, even as to taking photos himself and sharing them with the group. As a solo traveler, this was definitely the highlight of my adventure at Vancouver. Totally recommended. I may find myself returning next year for some winter hikes!

Nafees was an excellent guide and had great tips about both hiking in Vancouver and photography! would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone sure to have an amazing time!

Nafees is amazing! He’ll tell you insider photography secrets, knows the lay of the land, is friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide for this excursion and experiencing this portion of Vancouver. Highly rated! Thanks again Nafees!

What an unforgettable experience! Nafees is super friendly and patient, one of the best host I’ve ever met. Not to mention funny! Very knowledgeable and showed us some really cool spots we probably wouldn’t have found otherwise. He pointed out things that caught his eye as a photographer and showed us how to capture the best shot of nature. Great opportunity to take some awsome photos. I’ve learned so much from him. Such a nice teacher! The tour is very complete, I would highly recommend it! Thanks a lot, Nafees!

Nafees was excellent! So patient and knowledgeable! He not only shared tidbits of interesting information about Vancouver, but also GREATLY helped me to use my Canon Rebel T3i! It was the perfect photography lesson in a beautiful setting! So glad we found this awesome excursion!

Nafees was attentive, knowledgable and amiable. Lynn Canyon is beautiful and the combination of Nafees’ knowledge and the beautiful surroundings made for an exceptional experience. Highly recommended! 🙂

Nafees has yet again one-upped himself by thoughtfully and meticulously planning every adventure during the 4 nights at Whitehorse. These included, dog-sledding, hot-springs, and of course, the lights! While the Airbnb hosts were very warm and welcoming, we were limited to only one usable washroom among the nine (or so) of us, which was the only let down. However this didn’t dampen the fabulous experience I had with Nafees and the group. The views of the city and the Yukon landscape from the mountain we hiked were breathtaking. The book stores and coffee shops made walking along the snow covered roads enjoyable. Overall, the company of other (group) members, beautiful views, delicious food (bison burgers are delicious) and Nafees’ well planned itinerary, made this trip one of many memorable “Nature Photo Hikes adventures” 🙂

I was in Vancouver for a few days to run the Seawheeze Half Marathon and stumbled across Nature Photo Hikes while researching hikes in the area. Being a solo traveler I thought it might be safer to book a trip with a group than venture out alone. I am so glad I did! It ended up being the highlight of my trip. Nafees is knowledgeable and helpful and I enjoyed the cultural variety of the group I was with. And the hike is absolutely stunning. It ended up being a cloudy day so unfortunately we did not get the view we hoped for from atop Panorama Ridge, but Nafees was awesome enough to escort myself and one other girl in our group to Lake Garibaldi by another route so we could enjoy its beauty up close. Be warned: the hike to Panorama Ridge is not a walk in the park. The first 4-5 miles are all switchbacks and the tough ascent to the ridge would likely be challenging for inexperienced hikers. I am a runner and avid hiker so I luckily did not struggle but just something to consider before embarking on this journey. But no matter what level you are – if you are looking for an experienced, kind, knowledgeable guide, I highly recommend you book with Nafees and his team! Cant wait to book another hike on my next trip to the area!

My experience with Nafees was wonderful. Nafees is very knowledgeable about the trials and hike around Vancouver and provides plenty of education. I was a solo traveler and he helped me so much not only discovering the full potential of my camera but as well as taking my photos in the hidden location and showing his favourite off the beaten paths. I would highly recommend this if you are thinking to to hike and want to learn a bit more about your camera.

Being a solo traveler I thought I should try with my gang and the hike was amazing. That enabled us to take pictures and load them to DBGallery which allowed us share the pictures easily without having to worry how to see the different pictures taken by any of us. This experience was not for the faint-hearted, but definitely what I needed as recommenended by my doctor.

Nafees was a really nice and experience hiker, he took care of the whole group from the last to the first hiker, very experience hiker +50 Garibaldi trails!! For sure I do recommend him, thank you so much Nafees, I hope to see you on the next event. All the best for you!!

Nafees is an excellent guide and connoisseur of the natural areas of Vancouver, besides being an incredibly friendly person. During the tour you will take excellent photos in the best places of the forest. Highly recommended, definitely one of the best tours.

The hike was amazing. We had gorgeous views of rivers and water falls. Nash was an experienced hiker and had wonderful knowledge of where we were. Nash also took photos of us and emailed them to us after the trip. It was a great experience and can’t wait to try another hike with Nash. Highly recommend!

Nafees was amazing! Great guide, super friendly, and an amazing photographer. I was a little worried at first as I was the only one on the tour, and going off on a hike with a guy you just met isn’t normally something I would do. But Nafees made me comfortable at once. Really recommend this experience!

I really enjoyed the hikes as much as I did learning photography in the forest. Nafees is knowledgeable about the area and can help with tips and tricks too. The bridge and hikes were amazing!

Nash was a superb guide – very informative humorous and helpful. He even let me borrow an old dslr of his as I hadn’t brought one along. The trip was slip into 2 parts – hiking in the gorgeous Lynn Canyon and then around town. He is flexible and always looking for a good spot for us to take photos and him to take candid photos of us. Great day out.

Nafees is an amazing host, from picking us up in our hotel, constantly checking up during snow shoeing & making sure we learn new photography skills. Thank you for accommodating us even with such a day notice! I highly recommend it for everyone keen on quality ☺️

Usually when we travel someplace for three or more days we like to do some trail hiking. Especially something that includes a good workout and some world class scenery. This 15 hour venture absolutely exceeded my expectations. Nafees is a well organized adept that seems to enjoy his job more than most of the people of this world. I am not the only one who picked up on this. Our party of five had two singles who were repeat customers of his tour. That definitely meant a lot to me. While my wife and I thought we were in pretty good shape, it became clear that we were going to be the laggards of our group. It didn’t help that I over-packed. I probably should have packed less stuff but I didn’t want to be caught unprepared in case of a significant weather change. In the end I probably could have left 75% of my back pack contents in the car when it became clear that the weather was going to be nice for the day. Nafees maintained his position at the back of the group and coached us along as we kept a steady, yet rigorous pace. I was thankful that I brought sandals for the decent. I would highly recommend packing a pair for any all day hike. We brought our own lunches. I probably should have brought a flask of whiskey or a bottle of wine. We had a fun group and I think this would have gone over well with our fellow hikers. If you’re into photography I would highly recommend this excursion. There was plenty of expertise offered by Nafees for those wishing to improve their photographic skills.

My husband signed us up for this hike. I kept asking him why does it take 14 hours? How long will we actually be hiking? It was a very hard 7K going up the mountain, but the view at the top was amazing! We spent a lot of time at the top eating, and taking pictures. Nafees talked about composition and depth of field and how to adjust things to get just the right picture. We stopped a lot on the way down to take photographs, the lighting was perfect! Nafees did a great job motivating me to get up the mountain, thank you!

Extremely organized and friendly tour – I was originally down to do the Joffre Lakes hike, but due to bad weather on the day, Nash knew from his experience that it would have been a poor experience to continue with that tour. Not to leave me in the lurch with nothing to do for the day, Nash quickly organized an alternate hike to Quarry Rock which is less affected by the weather. Given the price differences in the tour, Nash told me straight up that he would refund me the difference and he processed this change quickly. Quarry Rock was a fantastic hike, giving you an opportunity to experience the beautiful BC forest with a great view at the top. Nash shared lots of photography tips along the way, giving advanced tips to those with DSLR cameras in the group and cool photography techniques to myself rocking the Galaxy S8 as my weapon of choice. On top of this, Nash has a very friendly personality and he is easy to get along with. I’m very introverted so was a bit anxious about doing the tour, but Nash was great to hang out with and a good source of knowledge for what you can do in the Vancouver area after the tour. I’ll definitely be booking tours again with Nash next time I’m in Vancouver, not just because of how much easier it is having a guide for these hikes, but to enjoy the company of Nash and fellow like-minded hikers!

I learnt so much from Nafees in such a short time! It was eye opening to see what my camera could do in the manual setting. I’m never using automatic settings again lol. He was on time, and easy to talk with. Nafees made the tour informative but also fun. If I’m ever in Vancouver again I would book another tour with him! Definitely worth it!

Best way how to experience Vancouver – I did several hikes with him, Garibaldi Lake, Deep Cove, Wedgemount Lake and Stawamus Chief. And I would do more if I had more time!

This tour was the highlight of Vancouver! We did Capilano earlier in the day but we much preferred Lynn Canyon with Nafees. This off the beaten path tour felt like you were walking trails that the locals walk and if I lived in Vancouver this is the spot I would always go! Nafees was an awesome host, very professional and easy to get on with. I’ve read photography lessons before but being taught first hand by Nafees was invaluable. Thanks for a great afternoon Nafees, I feel like a proper nature photographer now!

Nafees is a great guide, he will help you with taking pictures, entertain you on your way to the top. (and take the best pictures of you). I highly recommend all of his hikes!

Nafees was a great tour guide and knowledgeable. He took the time to give us tips on how to use our camera’s and to take a great shots, and to show us where to eat lunch later 🙂 Very friendly and down to earth. The Lynn Canyon Park is awesome, and i think I would done another 4 hours to explore the rest of it. Thank you Nafees

I’m not exactly a nature photo enthusiast and only had a camera phone, but I still had a fantastic time and got some great shots. The hike itself was really great (good shoes recommended) and we got to explore hidden streams, bridges and waterfalls. The tour guide also took pictures of us in the beautiful scenery if we wanted, so I also got some nice shots of myself which I appreciate as a solo traveler. Beautiful hiking location!

It was a great experience in Vancouver. Lynn Canyon is my favorite place in Vancouver currently from Nafees’ tour. It suits well with who love to take a photo with camera or just smartphone. Nafees knows well about Lynn Canyon. He also gave me a good suggestions on other venue in Canada.

Not for the faint of heart and definitely not easy, this hike was exactly what I needed when I went last week. It was stunningly beautiful and filling up on glacier water was a tremendous perk. All-around, 5 stars for sure. Plus, our guide Nash was very knowledgeable and helpful and the small group atmosphere was fun.

Excellent natural scenery for pictures: The tour takes you to a forest with incredible natural scenery. They give you helpful tips for taking great pictures.

Awesome “insiders” trip! When we travel, we always try to see a city the way residents do. This beautiful hike helped us do that. We got to hike some beautiful trails without having to navigate how to get there. Nafees was a fun and easy-going guide. We also appreciated not only his photography tips, but also the result of his own, gorgeous efforts behind the camera. We recommend this trip without hesitation!!

The photography walk was a wonderful experience. I absolutely loved the trail, Nafees was a great guide and very knowledgeable about photography – I took away some really good tips. And his passion for the area is infectious! Highly recommend.

Charming guy with lots of knowledge, in history geographic and photography. Small group.

The canyon was beautiful and Nash gave us some amazing tips about how to make the most out the scenery. Extremely friendly and the hike was very easy. I highly recommend!

Thanks again for what was a very challenging but rewarding experience with some incredible, breathtaking views along the way. I appreciate Nafees being a very kind and supportive hiking guide and for making sure he didn’t just leave us somewhere on the mountain 😉 It wasn’t easy for me or my girlfriend, but we definitely consider the hike easily the highlight of our trip to Vancouver and we are very happy and proud that we did it. Thanks again for the photos. The fourth photo in the collection that has me and Lauren is priceless and I intend on having it printed and framed as a memory I will treasure. Everyone that I have shown that picture to has been blown away. The entire experience was great and it was a pleasure meeting Nafees and getting to know him along the hike.

This was by far one the best and most informative excursions we’ve ever been on! Nafees was very patient and knowledgeable not only about photography but told us all kinds of interesting facts about Vancouver. He made sure everyone had one on one help including our daughter. My daughter kept saying how fun that trip was and we definitely agree! Thank you Nafees!

My trip with Nafees was great! Very easygoing and gave great tips on basic photography and how to set up shot composition. Along the way, he showed us his favorite photo locations inside the park and gave us plenty of time to hunt for our favorite photo opportunities.

Had a great time taking photos and admiring the park! Nafees picked us up at the bus stop close to us and we took buses there, which was a nice way to experience the local’s way. He taught me a lot about how to use a digital camera and how to take nice pictures! The hike was beautiful and he was a very nice and cool guide! 🙂

Nafees was a great guide and photographer. Super attentive and tailored his advice and tips individually to different members of the group depending on their experience. Lake Garibaldi is truly stunning and well worth the hike. Lynn Canyon was also beautiful.

Nafees is great! Had a great evening at Lynn Canyon. It was a very relaxing and calm hike. He took photos for all of the group and taught some basic photography skills to me about using a dslr camera.

I really enjoyed exploring Lynn Canyon with Nafees. Nice easy hike with great stops to snap a good photo or two.

Really nice walk and learned a lot about landscape photography!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The hike in Lynn Canyon was better than I expected. A great setting to learn some new skills in photography. I am so grateful for what Nafees has taught me about using my camera. He was patient and explained everything until I understood what my camera is capable in doing. I’m excited for the new skills I learned and will continue to practice until I get those perfect shots! Finally a hands on experience I needed to learn. You’re a great teacher, Nafees! Glad to have met you!

Super thoughtful, thorough and kind! Great tour guide with excellent instruction on how to use light and SLR cameras. I feel like I learned a lot in a hands on environment.

Nafees is an expert in nature and photography in Vancouver. He knows how to lead people in the crowded park. He will take you to great spots that which are hidden beauties but not crowded areas, so that you can learn how to take nice nature photos and videos with functions like use of lights and contrast, depth and amount of exposure. I could actually take nicer photos for my camera. Plus he will take photos of you in the breathtaking nature in the park like a personal photographer for you. After his touch for the picture, he will kindly send them to you through a link. He is a passionate and experienced guide. You won’t regret. He was also a good and patient company to talk with through the whole tour. After the tour I felt so thankful to see real beauty of Canada not only just foodie stuff that people can easily do.

Great tour! Nafees was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area and photography tips.

I had a wonderful day hiking with Nafees. He showed me how to use my camera and I managed to get some nice shots. He’s a very knowledgeable guide who makes you feel comfortable right from the start. I highly recommend booking a tour with him!

Any hike/experience with Nafees is an absolute must! He is an incredible guide, and will go your pace on the hikes. I went with just my iPhone, and learned how to take more professional looking photos. Nafees is not only knowledgeable about the area and photography, but traveling in general!

Nafees was a great guide and had a lot of great photography tips. This tour is definitely more photography based than just a walking tour. Nafees does bring you all over the park though with different viewpoints of the waterfall and there’s an opportunity, with good weather, to get your feet wet if you want. He also sends you candid and posed pictures he took after too. This tour was the perfect amount of time, wear good walking shoes and be ready for great photo opportunities!

What an amazing day! Thank you so much! Our guide, Nafees Shams was great in every way. Wonderful tour!

Nafees was an amazing guide and an even better photographer. Can’t thank him enough for the time and care he took to inform my daughter and I about that wonders of Lynn Canyon and surrounding area. Highly recommended for anyone!

My friend and I had a nice time chatting and laughing with Nafees on our hike. He was very friendly, patient and made sure we got the best views for photographs. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! I highly recommend booking a hike with Nafees! Cheers!

Completely relaxed trip for a short time out of the city and pure into nature. The trail requires a bit of fitness and good slip resistance. We had really fun and joy, can only recommend this little trip.

The experience at Squamish was the best ever! The views were unbelievable, out of reality, you have to do it once in a lifetime, its not a piece of cake but it totally worth it! Nafees is also the best guide and photographer ever!! He was an interesting person and he took the most awesome photos! I appreciate the great time at this experience.

It is an excellent and recommendable experience. Nafees, is an enthusiastic host and knows a lot about photography. It teaches basic and advanced subjects, which can be applied in charming spaces and ideal for photographing.

It was a nice experience. Nafees is knowledgeable about the place. My family and I felt comfortable and enjoyed every second of it. Totally worth going !

Nafees is a great person and tour guide! He taught me the basics of photography using my Sonya6000, had great knowledge of the Vancouver area and made the time fly by. I highly recommend his tour if you want to hike in a less crowded area and learn how to create great pictures.

The experience was great!! I only had my Pixel phone to take the photos with, but Nafees showed me some techniques I can use to take better photos. I’ve been using what I learned from him on this trip so it was really helpful. In addition to the lessons, the hike itself was really calming with the beautiful scenery. Nafees was also a great conversationalist so it felt really easy to talk to him, as if he’s an old friend. The photos he took were great too! Thanks again!!

I really loved how Nafees teaches new techniques with each progress through the hike. I’ve always found manual mode very daunting but Nafees breaks it down in a digestible manner. In the past I’ve only taken pictures with my DSLR on trips and occasions (in Auto or picture modes). Now I’m looking forward to practicing more with the new skills I’ve learnt. I’d recommend this as one of your first tours if you’re visiting Vancouver!

Really great insight & perspectives. Highly recommend Nafees!

Nafees was very knowledgeable and gave us some great pointers. After working with him I was immediately able to take better photos and have a much better understanding of how dlsr cameras work. He was also extremely personable and fun to be around, and had plenty of info to share about the city. I felt like I was walking around the forest hiking with a friend. I’d highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn how to really capture those “Instagram photos”

I had a great afternoon with Nafees, Lynn Canyon was beautiful and Nafees shared photography knowledge and tips.

I really enjoyed exploring Lynn Canyon Park with Nafees and I learned so much about photography. Nafees is wonderful at what he does. He is fun and easy to talk to. If you are a solo traveler, he is great company and the perfect tour guide. He’ll tell you about all of the best places to go. I would definitely recommend an adventure like this with Nafees!

A few fun hours was spent with Nafees who was really great to speak to, learn about Lynn Canyon, and Photography. He really gave us several nice tips on how to compose a landscape. The trek through Lynn Canyon is quite easy so the great conversation about Vancouver was welcomed to keep the hours moving quickly. Definitely an experience that is easily accessible to anyone and all ages. I would suggest the other experiences if you want something a bit advanced than a well worn walking path.

Expect stunning views, a private tour with lots of landscape and nature photographic objects. Also, expect to have in depth discussions with Nafees, who is not just knowledgeable about the area, but also a very intelligent person. No regret, it was time and money well spent when we were in Vancouver, better than Capilano IMHO.

Nafees is so prompt, communicative and fun to hang with. I got a masterclass in photography while taking in a beautiful park. Nafees was great at helping balance photography time and time to take photos of me / enjoy our surroundings. He was also great at talking about Vancouver and things he’d recommend I experience. Can’t say enough about him! Do. this. experience.

It is a great hike and Nafees definitely knows the right spots at Lynn Canyon, and has a good eye for photography. We had some great conversations during our hike, he even adapted the starting time so it would fit my schedule. I can definitely recommend the hike to other travellers!

Nafees is the best! He knows all the stunning places hidden in the woods , he is so good at taking pictures , if u were traveling alone and want some amazing picture to share with friends / family , u 1000% won’t be disappointed 🙂 he is more than an excellent tour guide . it was so much fun , such a cool Person full of positive energy. He also has other experiences and homes in Airbnb , definitely will back to Vancouver and hang out with him again

Nafees was a great tour guide! He’s friendly and down to earth. Plus, he knows all the best photo ops along the way. We had an awesome time hiking and taking cool pictures. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

Very nice afternoon walking in the woods!!

Nafees is incredibly knowledgeable not only about photography, but about Vancouver, the parks, the environment, nature, etc. He is a really easy going interesting person to talk to! 🙂 I took away a lot from his hike photography tour and I can now go apply what he taught me and practice on my own 🙂

Thank you Nafees for this visit of Lynn Canyon and all the very useful advice on photography. I recommend this activity to everyone !

Lovely morning up at Lynn Canyon with Nafees, who was great and easy to chat to. We took the train from downtown Van over the Ironworkers Memorial bridge which was surprisingly quick and easy. Walked over the suspension bridge, up to 30 ft Pool and down to the Twin Falls Bridge. Beautiful national park. Learnt about photo composition which has made me want to go back and re-take all my previous photos, lol! Thanks for the tour Nafees!

Thanks Nafees for this tour. I learned a lot about basic photography, even just with my phone camera. Just a little shooting skills make my photos much better.

Nafees is a great guide was super helpful and didn’t just get a bunch of great photos but also skills that will help me take better photos in the future. Ask Nafees about good hiking spots he has alot of knowledge and insight about the environment and trails.

Nafees did a great job guiding us around the park. We had interesting talks and he taught us a lot about landscape and close-up photography. I can only recommend Nafees to other travelers!

I give Nafees a thumbs up!

Nafees lead the hike and gave many great pointers in taking a nice photo throughout the hike. He’ll teach you all the basics of photography for those who are starting out and will kindly take photos for you with his camera or with yours. Also, as a local, he was very informative in recommending good eateries, attractions, and activities. Nafees’ friendly demeanor made the Lynn Canyon Hike & Photography a pleasant experience for my first time in Vancouver! Thanks again Nafees!

Nafees was a very friendly and engaging guide. Lynn Canyon provided lots wonderful photo opportunities. I recommend this experience, especially if you are interested in approving your photography skills. Nafees will provide you with tips on capturing the best shots.

Nafees is the most incredible tour guide! So knowledgeable so kind I had the best experience

Nafees is a great guide. He is friendly, patience and knowledgeable about the area. Its wan fun and beautiful place to go hiking. We were lucky enough it happened on a nice sunny day.

Nafees is an amazing person that loves hiking and truly cares for the people who sign up for his hikes. I’d recommend him 100% if you’re ever interested in hiking in the Vancouver area. 10/10 would hike with him when I come back to visit!

From start to finish this was an excellent experience and easily the best thing I did in Vancouver. Nafees was very open and helpful with his guiding and teaching and just good company. Now feel I can use my SLR and also have some pretty sweet snaps to boot. The bridge and canyon are incredible! Thank you.

The host is friendly. Nice day out.

Nafees was a fantastic guide, who really took the time to help us improve our photography skills. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone who is interested in taking some photos in a beautiful place.

Nafees is timely, knowledgable, likable and a very good photographer. He led my family through one of the most beautiful hikes we have encountered. He is also knowledgable about Vancouver and has several other tips and suggestions to enjoy the area.

Awesome experience. I totally recommend it!! Loved it ??

Fantastic tour, with a great photographer and great person. You won’t regret meeting Nafees, or visiting the remote and awe-inspiring Lynn Valley. For some extra kicks, ask Nafees to share some bear stories.

Awesome experience! Nafee was really flexible to our needs and good company to walk with! I will surely try the snow hike when I come back!! Thank you for the lovely afternoon and the pictures 😀

We had the BEST TIME! He was so friendly and very informative! He took us to all the most beautiful spots and we genuinely had a blast with him! If you looking to go on a beautiful nature walk and take some beautiful pictures, I highly recommend him!

I appreciate Nafees communication and time management skills. He was flexible with our timeline and took us on a nice scenic walk around the park. We liked following along and looking at the beautiful park without having to worry about watching the time or getting lost. He knows the park well and is available for great conversation. I’d recommend this experience to a friend.

Very friendly tour guide and great instructor. He took the time to make tips how we could improve our images and gave constructive feedback. The hike in Lynn Canyon was fun. He knew the area well and gave tips for things to see/do in Vancouver.

Nafees is knowledgeable about the area and photography, and he is very flexible and accommodating in terms of how you would like this experience to be and I would recommend to all levels of prior experience with photography.

What an amazing experience, in a magical with wonderful guide. I would recommend this for any nature lover!! So happy I did it.

Nafees is a great company and takes lovely pictures. He showed us great views and how to capture them. This was my first time in B.C. and he was very helpful and very polite. He even got down at our station to direct us to a lovely restaurant he suggested. I would recommend booking an experience with him if you visit Vancouver. Thanks Nafees great restaurant by the way.

This hike was the definition of amazing. From the towering trees to the waterfalls, I couldn’t ask for more. Nafees took me through multiple snow covered trails, taught me the history of the forest, and blew my mind with camera skills and techniques. The photos he provided me were some of the most stunning images I’ve ever seem. They are the kind of pictures that make you smile and feel good reminiscing of the moment in time. I would recommend this hike to anyone, the forest is another world and a great place to feel one with nature.

Nafees was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide on our hike. We had so much fun!!!

Unique experiences! We shared lots of funny ideas about taking pictures and absorbed professional advices by Nafees.

We had a fun and very interesting tour in Lynn Canyon with Nafees. He taught us to take very good photos there, definitely a one of my favourites activities that I did in Vancouver.

Nafees got us out bright and early so we could get the best individual shots especially on the bridges. He helped us take so many pictures – it was like having a good friend who wants to help you have all the best memories on camera. The various locations he pointed out made this extra helpful. Right after the trip, he sent us pics that he took with his professional camera too. I enjoyed the entire experience!

The hike was very nice, and Nafees is very professional and friend. He adapted for my time. I had a good morning!

So fantastic and very insightful

Nafees had to cancel because of bad weather. But he was very communicative and professional throughout.

Lynn park is a nice place to walking, about 2hr hiking time, both children and older can make it as well. I am so lucky for the sunny morning, the weather is perfect for outdoor activity. Nafees is good communication, he can give very specific answers for all of the questions. It’s a good experience at all.

This is my second activity offered by Nafees that I booked, the other one being snowshoeing. I thoroughly enjoyed hiking Lynn Canyon even on a cloudy day. Everywhere you turn looks so magical like an enchanted forest. Nafees will give you really useful advice on photography and will gamely take photos of you as well. I highly recommend this tour for solo travelers like me who love nature and meeting new friends.

Can’t say enough about Nafees and how great our experience was. He was knowledgeable, organized, and fun to hike with. We showed up with our iPhones and left with some amazing pictures. I would recommend the experience to anyone… our only regret was that we didn’t bring cash to tip with!

Amazing tour with amazing guide!Learn a lot about photography in this trip.

We throughly enjoyed every moment of it! Our tour guide we cannot thank him enough for his guidance and knowledge of this exceptional rain forest park. Oh and if you’re going in winter “Watch your step”

Nafees is an amazing tourguide and a great photography instructor!

Nafees made this a fun and interesting experience even in the cold wet weather. Would definitely recommend!

We had a fun time talking with Nafees and hiking Lynn Canyon. Despite the rain, we had a good time taking pictures and just getting out of the city into nature. Nafees was very helpful, meeting us at our location, and the bus ride out was fun because Nafees offered suggestions and it gave us a a chance to see some different areas of Vancouver. It was an easy walk through the trees and something families could do easily. Thanks, Nafees!

It was amazing! Just a 40 minutes bus rise and we where in the middle of the nature discovering such a beautiful place. Nafees is very kind and patient and we had nice conversations. Will absolutely recommend this experience when you are in Vancouver!

Nafees was an amazing tourguide, he knows his way around the canyon, and offered some great suggestions for places to visit in and outside the city, very kind and nice

The host was very attentive

The activity was incredible and Nafees is a kind and patient person and he takes amazing pictures, I totally recommend him.

Naffee becomes your friend automatically, he’s a like-able guy with a lot of Nature knowledge in both hiking and photography! I am a street photographer with experience and I still found myself learning a lot about how different it can be to shoot nature. We did time-lapses and found the best nooks to stop, take in the view, and breathe in the delicious fresh air. …I kinda want to be back there. Thanks Naffee!

I was surprised to get a full refund for not being able to hike Lynn suspended bridge. I definitely will enjoy this experience with Nafees in the near future. thanks for your timely communication and understanding. Thanks

Naseef was great! I highly recommend this experience to everyone, especially those who are traveling alone, such as myself. Not only that he gave excellent advice within photography, but he also enriched my knowledge when it comes to Vancouver. Thank you again, Naseef. I can’t wait to come back, and go on his other tours.

I would definitely recommend this! Nafees was a great guide, I learned a lot about the city in addition to getting photography tips and seeing some beautiful nature.

I really enjoyed having this experience with Nafees. He is very enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. He helped us a lot when trying to find the more photogenic spots to shoot during the journey. The park we visited is really nice and the walk was confortable. Very good experience!

Nafees met my husband and I near a bus stop and paid for our ride to the Lynn Canyon Park. During our ride he asked about our experience with photography then answered our questions about the area. During our walk in this beautiful park he helped each of us to challenge our norm for photography by helping us to perfect how to approach a picture. My husband is at a higher level of ability with a big camera and I was trying to break away from my iPhone camera and to learn to use a canon power shot G1x that we had. We our both excited about the skills that Nafees shared and will continue to practice these. Nafees also shared restaurants he loves and how to get to them. We will definitely come back and try some of his hiking trips he takes people on! He is a very intelligent, patient and kind person.

A great afternoon! Nafees was a great guide. He is knowledgeable about the area and photography and this experience was exactly what I was looking for and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this experience. I wanted to practice my photography and also see the beautiful landscape. Nafees provided great feedback and praise. He mentioned in the winter time he may offer a snow shoe experience. If I visit the area during that time I will be sure to check it out. I would recommend this experience in a heartbeat!

This was my first time visiting Vancouver and Nafees did a wonderful job showing my friend and I around! He’s very knowledgeable and a great story teller! We had an awesome time 🙂

The tour was beautiful and stopped at amazing spots. I would definitely take this tour again. ❤️

It was a great day. The exchanges with Nafees were very interesting. I recommend it to you.

Great tour and awesome view! Nafees is an awesome guy and guide.

Pick up from downtown and the tour guide is so good. I recommend.

Beautiful experience.

I had a lot of fun! He was very casual and nice. He taught me a lot about the local places to go and where to hike! I also learnt a lot and took pictures I didn’t know I was capable of taking.

It rained a lot during the trip, but that just made the scenery and experience that much more special. Nafees is very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Thanks!

If you want to see amazing views and landscapes this is a must experience to try .

Nafees is a great guide. Organised, friendly, and really knowledgeable on photography. I learnt a lot and had heaps of fun. Cheers

Nafees is very friendly and makes you feel secure when you use your camera, he explains the ways of getting the subject in the right place, and improve the pic. He knows the park very well and chooses many different localisations to work on. Then I liked my “after tour home work”,he asked me to chose my 3 top pic and send them to him with my comments.I found that very interesting to look differently at the pic and analyse from artistic and technical point. He send me his comments too. Lynn Park is a very magic place…

Nafees is great and professional not only in photography but with showing the interesting places. He has been helpful to me with everything. Thank you again.

Totally recommend! The location and experience were amazing, Lynn Canyon is gorgeous!! I got reintroduced to my camera after a very long break. Nafees is very friendly, helpful and a good teacher. I’m glad I booked this event because it was one of the most favorite things I did during my trip. Thank you Nafees!

Great experience! Nafees is very patient and he taught me a lot of skills in photo taking, really like it!

I had a great day with Nafees: We could chat a lot about Vancouver, Canada, Travling and Hiking and once at Lynn Canyon (awesome place!) he also helped me a lot with my first steps in landscape photography. As I just started with handing an SR camera, it was great to learn about variuos settings as well as picture composition, while walking through the autunm forrest. Thanks a lot, Nafees!

Great guide, lots of fun!

I had a delightful experience exploring Lynn Canyon Park with Nafees as my guide. Expect a mild to moderate level hike, and to take lots of photos of towering trees, clear pools, waterfalls, and more. Nafees has years of experience leading hiking groups in Vancouver and his love for and knowledge of the outdoors makes him a great hike companion. He’s welcoming and funny, and he gave me great advice on how to improve my photos. I would absolutely join another one of his hiking groups if I return to Vancouver.

It was a really interesting afternoon, I was showed nice photo spots and he gave really good advices!

Nafees is very nice! He gave me lots of recommendations where to check out. Lynn Canyon is beautiful too. Definitely recommended!

I was the only one on the tour that day, so he was basically my personal. Saw some great scenery and I learn some photography tips which I intend to keep practicing.

Nafees was very knowledgeable about the canyon and photography. He knew the best places to take photos and we really enjoyed the experience.

Our Guide Nafees… Knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and accommodating Our Experience… Beautiful, majestic, inspirational and entertaining, especially the warning signs about diving Our Recommendation… Sign up with Nafees’ next experience and you will get great photos and great memories….we did! Cheers

My experience with Nafees was amazing! Lynn Canyon is a very beautiful area (also recommended by other Vancouver residents as a must-see hiking spot). It was a great photography technical refresher as well, something that I needed and I continued to utilize what I learned throughout the rest of my trip. He is a very good instructor and very patient. He also has a lot of knowledge and recommendations about the local area of Vancouver. Thanks for a great experience!

It was a great experience with Nafees! He is an easy-going tour guide and knows the places very well! Recommended to anyone who interest in the natural places in Vancouver!

Nafees was great—relaxed, knowledgeable, helpful and overall a really nice guy. My kids and I had so much fun!

This experience was so well orchestrated and fun: it’s full of picturesque scenery and great photography lessons without it being stressful. It’s a must do for those of who want an outdoor excursion away from the city. Importantly, Nafees is great — he is very passionate about what he does; is extremely knowledgeable about the outdoors, photography, and Vancouver; and is very flexible about making the trip suit your needs. On top of this, he’s very communicative and all around awesome!

I had a really good afternoon with Nafees and our group. The hike was great fun and Nafees gave some photography tips which meant I was really happy with the photos I took! Nafees was fun to be with and created a great atmosphere in the group. I would highly recommend this trip!

Nafees is a great tour guide, very knowledgable and entertaining. The tour was absolutely amazing and the views stunning. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone 🙂

The hike is great (eventhough it is a bit of a workout) and the views on top are breathtaking! And it’s only a short ride from the city. Definitely a must-do when in Vancouver.

The hike had some spectacular views and we had super fun (and some decent cardio) in the snow. Nafees is a great to be along with and he takes some really cool pictures 🙂 He also obliged to some extra requests from us to take more photos. Truly, a delightful person guiding our hike. Overall, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, as everything from procuring the train tickets to putting your snow shoes right was taken care of by Nafees and there wasn’t anything amiss. I’d definitely recommend this to people visiting VanC in winter if you’re keen on snowshoeing.

I didn’t know what to expect from snowshoeing, but it turned out to be a short, mild hike on Mt. Seymour. We were quite lucky because it had snowed very recently and everything was still covered in snow and very beautiful. Nafees was personable and knowledgeable.

Hiking with Nafees was great! Everything was super well organized and the location was really nice 🙂 Nafees is very friendly and helpful, and we all had a really good time. Our hike to Mount Seymour was really easy and targetted at beginners. If you are used to hiking and are looking for a minimally-challenging one, I suggest you talk to Nafees first!

Nicest guy ever. Totally chill. Experienced guide. Nafees handles all train and bus tranfers, gear….takes photos. Cannot sat enough good things.

Everything was very well organized! Nafees is a very good guide, he took good care of you. The tour through the area was fantastically beautiful, it was so much fun to hike with the snowshoes. In between, we shot photos of nature and here, too, knew Nafees very well! Thank’s for the Tipps. When we arrived at the summit, everything was cloudy and had no prospect. No 5 minutes later, a window opened and we had the most beautiful view of downtown. That had been a magical moment for us! I recommend everyone this tour, a little diversion to the normal sightseeing tour.

Nafees was such a fun and helpful guide throughout the entire hike. I learned so many hiking tips from him and loved that he was able to help with photography. Highly recommend this experience because it definitely was one of the best parts of my Vancouver trip.

It was wonderful. We met at the Warfront Station at 8:25 am and then took the public transport to the shuttle bus which took us to the mountain. Once there, there was a brief briefing on the use of snowshoes. After the briefing we made our way to a very nice vantage point. In between was always enough for photos food and drink. The view was beautiful. The way there was not crowded because of the time. Nafees was friendly the entire time and answered all our questions. He was always in a good mood and used to jokes. All in all a very nice day. This tour is highly recommended.

Great Powder Day!

We had a great afternoon with Nafees in the snow. Highly recommended!

Nafees was a great guide, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Vancouver outdoors and snow shoeing in particular. The trip was well organised, he answered all our questions before hand and the hike in the snow through beautiful forest was fun. It was snowing on the day we went, so we didnt get much of a view over Vancouver, but the trail was great.

We had extremely fun time, and took lots of interesting pictures! I’ll come back in April

We had such a great time on our snowshoeing tour! Nafees is a fantastic guide. He was so well organized and very knowledgeable about snowshoeing. The Dog Mountain trail is great for beginner snowshoers and the view at the end is incredible. I would definitely do a tour with Nafees again!

Nafees was quick to respond to questions, super knowledgeable, friendly, engaged, and ready to roll. We had snowshoed before but it was still good to have a guide and be with someone who knows the area and the drill. The trip was a ton of fun and had no shortage of gorgeous views and closely knotted in trees, we would love to see what other adventures Nafees might lead in the future!

Highly recommend snowshoeing with Nafees. He was a terrific from the start. Good communication prior to the day on what to bring, wear and what to expect. Mt. Seymour is beautiful covered in snow

Nafees is a very friendly person, I am glad that you met him in Vancouver, he organized the great journey through the snow snow shoes, his photography is also very good, our family spent a wonderful day, thanks to Nafees, I recommend to all my friends, so that they can feel Vancouver the beauty of winter!

One of my favorite activities while in Vancouver! A must do! Thanks Nafees for such a nice hiking experience! 🙂

Host was kind and great. Also the hiking was wonderful. I feel lile I’m in fantasy.

The tour was everything I had hoped for! Nafees was so friendly and patient with us. He introduced us to snow shoeing and taught us how to do it (it’s so easy to get the hang of), and we all set off up Dog Mountain. Such a fun experience and a great way to see the snow and outdoors 🙂

It was a very enjoyable winter hike. Nafees provided all the logistics and he was very punctual. During the hike, we had great conversation on various topics and he helped to take some really good shots of me in the snowy terrains. He was very professional and accommodating despite the fact he only had one guest (who was myself) for this trip. Nafees was clearly a travel enthusiast who was very willing to offer recommendations on various key places to visit in Vancouver. I would highly recommend it to anyone who would like to try out hiking in winter wearing snowshoes and to enjoy Vancouver for an unique experience.

Had a really great time with Nafees and the rest of the group on this snowshoe hike. Nafees is a really nice guy, super-easy to get along with, and he took some super photos of our trip. Thanks Nafees!

I loved my day with Nafees. It was great fun! Well worth putting up with the cold to experience real snow. I’d like to do it again! And thanks for the great photos Nafees. Cheers, Tom

Nafees was really friendly and attentive, and the hike was beautifully scenic and just the right length. 5 Stars!

This was such an awesome experience! It was actually snowing when we went, which I think is the best time to go. Nafees is an amazing host. He takes care of all of the logistics (train, shuttle, bus, tickets, etc.) so you don’t have to worry about anything. He is fun to be around with and knows many cool facts about Vancouver. He also teaches you a few pointers about photography and takes high quality pictures of you throughout the hike. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to take a quick break from the city!

What a fantastic way to be introduced to my first winter activity! Nafees was very chill and comfortable to be with. And like he said, if you can walk you can snowshoe. The trails were manageable and the reward at the summit was truly Instagram-worthy!

Amazing tour with amazing guide!Learn a lot about photography in this trip.

Snowshoeing was very cool! Mt seymore is beautiful!

Nafees is the coolest tour guide ever!! You’ll leave feeling like you made a new best friend. The trail was definitely doable for any relatively fit beginner, and its absolutely beautiful. I had never done snowshoeing before, but now I think I will invest in a pair of snowshoes. By the way, he loves having snowballs thrown at him! Haha.

Very rewarding view & jovial host 🙂

I did a snowshoeing trip to Cypress to do the Bowen Lookout tour and it was very nice!!!!! The organisation was well done, the atmosphere as well and Nafees is a very passionated person. I highly recommend you do go with them to meet nice people. have fun, discover new place and have good time 😉 !!!

I did a snowshoeing trip to the top of Hollyburn Peak at Cypress Mountain. It was fun but hard work. The view at the top though was SO worth it. Nafees was a great guide and very patient, gave us all instructions on how to put on snowshoes properly and other tips on using it. We took frequent breaks and he gave me some pointers on how to improve my photos. Highly recommended!

I’ve been in couple of hikes with this group and those were amazing!! Nafees knows what he does. Being introvert I was a little scared when I started, but people are super amicable there. Just get there and prepare to be demented 🙂

Me and My girlfriend wanted to go hiking and snowshoeing with this group of hiker since a while ago. We had been told that this is an awesome group, with nice energy and wonderful tour guide, Nafees. We had been 100% positively satisfied! Nafees is a good organizer, we had a lot of details before the day of the hike with some advice and warning about weather, clothes or/and gears required for the event. The event was in a nice mood and a truly a really good and positive atmosphere. Nafees cares about everybody, beginners and advanced hikers and he is really trustworthy! I highly recommend going hike with this group! I will myself go with them again for sure.

The hike was very personal and diverse. I was taught how to optimize my camera and what to look for when taking scenery pictures. We walked up to the lake at a comfortable pace. It was very friendly group and I recommend it this tour to anyone, who is passionate about the outdoors.

We bought vouchers on Social Shopper as we both love to take pictures of nature and walk in nature as well. This was the best of both. We did the Lynn Canyon Hike. We saw spectacular views and were assisted to use our cameras better. Nafees is knowledgeable, helpful and very patient. He was able to move from a DSL to a point and shoot with ease. Both of us having had our cameras for some years will now use them more to our advantage. Being able to do a hike to get the pictures in such a beautiful setting was also a bonus. We both felt this was a beneficial day spent learning, enjoying and getting to know Nafees. Recommend it highly.

The instructor/guide (Nafees) taught me the basics in two hours for manual, aperture, and shutter speed settings. Now I have a much better understanding of how to use these. He also helped out with advice on composition on my camera shots and some printed photos that I brought along. All in all very worthwhile.

Vancouver is a very beautiful city with a lot of beautiful nature planted right into the urban oasis that is the city. However, to truly experience the awe inspiring nature that most of us flock from all around the world to see you really need explore the coastal mountain ranges that tower just behind the cityscape.

I experienced these mountains with Nafees as my awesome guide on one of his photo tours to St. Mark’s Summit. We discovered breathtaking landscapes and unreal views of the Howe Sound water body which me and my shiny new Nikon were very keen to do justice in capturing. Nafees gave me a great walkthrough on many key photography essentials as well as some cool advanced tips for the specific controls on my camera that brought a whole new dramatic element to my pictures. The photos I took on his photo tours are definitely the creme of the crop of those in my Vancouver experience album.

I would highly recommend making it out for one of Nafees’ photo tours if you’re lucky enough to be in town when they happen. I’ll definitely be doing another one the next time I get the chance!

Undertook a trip to Garibaldi Provincial Park. A place not on the conventional tourist itinery but I would strongly recommned both that you visit the park (with Nature PhotoHikes) and go on this trip. I enjoy walking and I enjoy taking photos – and having the time to take photos – and this trip was a highlight of my visit to Vancouver.

Nafees is an awesome guide. He’s super organized, genuine and personable. He was able to handle the group well and also took the time to talk and connect with all individuals. Our tour was very smooth and fun. Nafees took care of all the logistics while we enjoyed a lunch at Horseshoe Bay.

The walk around Bowen Island was lovely and enjoyable. It’s an easy hike and accessible to anyone who is able to walk for a couple of hours. There were lots of great photo opportunities around the lake and Nafees was great at explaining the intricacies on how to create better photos.

This is actually a huge thing for me as I used to take the worst photos! In fact, I pretty much gave up on photography altogether and resigned to the fact that I was “one of those people” who’s photos just sucked. Nafees got me excited about photography to the point that I now use Instagram almost everyday (yes, I’m not hardcore yet to buy a SLR)! Highly recommended!

I finally understand how to use the manual settings on my camera. Nafees gave us really good tips on picture composition as well. Can’t wait to take more pictures with the manual settings on my SLR camera.

Nafees is a super cool guy. I met him through a hike that he organized. He definitely know’s his way around Vancouver and has probably hiked every possible trail around it. Whether it’s a walk in the park or or up a steep mountain you should take the opportunity to go for a hike with Nafees.

I booked the Lynn Canyon and Quarry Rock tour to see a few sights during my visit to Vancouver. Both tours were of the shorter/beginner level variety (2 hour hikes) but was still able to get in a workout and see fantastic views. Nafees, the tour guide, is very knowledgable about the area as well as beginner and advanced photography techniques. He was willing to answer lots of questions and focused on educating the group about the technical and artistic aspects of landscape photography. I went from using my automatic settings to using the manual settings on my SLR camera for the remainder of my trip in Vancouver! I also purchased the transportation add on for the tours which were super convenient and well worth the cost since the hikes were relatively far from where I was staying and I was without a car. Overall I would highly recommend Nature Photo Hikes – and look forward to booking a tour in the future for one of the more advance hikes!

My partner and I booked a hike with Nash to the Joffre Lakes and it was incredible. The trails are very well prepped so not very challenging but still a great workout with the elevation and time involved! It was about 2.5 hours to the top and 2 hours down. The three lakes are stunning, each lake more awesome then the prior and at the top you can see the glacier where the lakes are fed! There are several waterfalls and scenic stops all along the trails. Nash was a great guide highlighting the best spots and providing answers to all of our questions. Nash gave us recommendations for other places to see in Vancouver and also great dinner spots! Definitely not your typical cattle call tour with Nash made for a truly unforgettable day!!

Nafees is an excellent photographer and creative hiking guide of BC! Can’t wait to explore more hidden gems with him and his 20+crew of fellow photographing hikers!!!

I met Nafees on a photo tour and he gave me a lot of great advice on photography skills. He is knowledgeable and has a passion for capturing the moment. Thank you for the great time!

Nafees is a knowledgeable photographer and was able to give me a lot of good points on how to use a point and shoot camera and understand the different settings. I would definitely recommend attending any one of his photo tours. Great company too.

I joined a couple of Nafees’ hikes during the summer of 2015. We went to Garibaldi Lakes and Joffre Lakes both of them astonishing places. My eyes couldn’t believe what I was seeing! He has great knowledge of the trails and knows where the best spots to take pictures are. The group was really well organized and he always makes sure that no one stays behind. He lets you know what you should bring for every hike so that nothing is missing the day of…including swimsuit in case you want to take a dip in glacier water! :S Great experience overall!

Highly recommend! Nafees is incredibly knowledgeable and I learned so much about photography and Lynn Canyon. I felt comfortable with Nafees’ guidance and he really goes above and beyond to make your experience a personal one. If you appreciate the serenity of “hidden gems,” then this is the one for you. So happy that I decided to book this experience!

A great experience. I would have never found all the hidden and less crowded trails without Nafees. And I learned so much about Vancouver in the process.

Lynn Valley is gorgeous. We wouldn’t have it done when I didn’t see this photo tour of Nafees. It was the right combination of exploring a new spot, enjoying nature and getting professional help from photographic aspects. He really cared about everyone no matter which gear one had. I really recommend this tour to explore the valley differently. There could be also a day tour to see even more of the nice area.

I had a very nice day with Nafees and a small family from England, who also did the tour. Nafees is very attentive, takes care of his guests individually and gives good tips for better photos. The tour leads to the Lynn Canyon, which was a bit fuller than expected but still great! I can only recommend the company!

Great experience! I was worried about hiking by myself, so it was great having Nafees give the tour. We went to a bunch of beautiful spots in the area. There are a lot of steep steps so potentially not appropriate for older or injured people.

Nafees was an awesome guide and is quite knowledgeable about both photography and hiking.

He gave me some cool tips & he interacted with everyone in the group well.

Nafees was a friendly guide, showing you how to catch public transport including buses and seabus (public transport day ticket $10.50 adult, $8.25 child) to get to/from Lynn Valley Park from/to downtown Vancouver. Travel time was about an hour each way. You had roughly 2 hours in Lynn Canyon where you walked the lovely old growth forest trails, crossed a suspension bridge, viewed waterfalls and had the option to swim in the cool (10degC) river waters if you wanted to. Apparently much less busy than the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park (and no entry fee here) but there were still heaps of tourists/locals. Nafees shared some simple history/info of the region and gave some tips for photo shooting with our smartphones. Nafees was a very approachable host happy to answer questions during and post tour. Nice small group size (4 people) for our adventure.

Nafees was great to work with. He took care of transportation to and from Mt. Seymour. Throughout the excursion, our well-being was a priority to him. Additionally, he showed a lot of patience and understanding when my anxiety got the best of me at the top of the mountain. My photography skills improved because of teaching. This is a great experience because you get a guide for the hike and a photography teacher. 48 hours later, he emailed me the pictures he took of my family. I couldn’t imagine having this experience without his help.

Nafees provided a well planned tour including transportation. He was knowledgeable of the area, able to highlight great photo opportunities, and was able to cater feedback from the novice to advanced level. If you want to see the natural beauty of Canada’s rain forests without the tourist trappings then this is the tour for you. Lynn Canyon trumps Capilano any day.

Fantastic Tour. Nafees really helped me to understand my camera and how to adjust the setting to suit the environment I was shooting in. Nafees also had a lot of knowledge about the area and went out of his way to show us the best spots to take photos. Great experience!

Nafees is an excellent, patient, and thoughtful hiking and photography host! Some parts of the snowshoeing hike were a bit icy, but at no point did I feel the need to rush or feel uncomfortable about maneuvering the path. He was able to provide very good outdoor photography tips, pointed out excellent points of interest for good shots, and even took many for us and gave us pose tips and ideas. I’m so happy I did this experience because the views were spectacular and snowshoeing was so fun.

Nafees was amazing. He knew small details about the nooks and corners of the canyon and showed us some amazing locations. Even though we didn’t have a camera, he showed us very interesting techniques on our camera phones. My fiancé had an injured foot and Nafees took additional care of where he is putting his feet all throughout the trip. He is knowledgeable and also gave us additional information on rest of Vancouver. I would highly recommend this experience.

I went on this hike with Nafees on Jan 1st. It was a nice experience. The photography lessons that he provided were very helpful and handy. I just started learning photography and the lessons I had are more clear than the youtube tutorials I watched. Nafees was also a great host who can patiently answer your questions and also you can have good conversations with.

A great experience! Not only is Nafees experienced in hiking and snowshoeing but the knowledge he has is perfect for any beginners to advance hikers who would like to explore the snowy Mt. Seymour. The view on top is rewarding! Weather can be unpredictable but Nafees tries his best to pick days where the view can be seen once you reach the top.

Mr. Nafees was very kind and told me various things. He knew the area well, so I was able to take pictures that I could go around efficiently. It was good that I got new knowledge. However, it was good that I was able to take my own photo because I was traveling alone, and I was able to sight see the night life at ease.

Nafees was really kind and taught me many things. He knows how and when to take good photos, so I could take nice photos efficiently. It was also nice for me that he took photos of me and I could explore the city safely because I was traveling by myself. Thank you Nafees!

The tour was excellent! Nafees was very hands on with my mom as it was her first time walking for that long, He is also a very great storyteller and finding best spots in the park to take a picture 🙂

Thanks to Nafees for a great half day above the snow line, and for the photography tips that have already come in handy!

He is sooo professional and nice. Good experience with my first visit to this beautiful place.

I had a great time with this experience. The whole trip we had great conversations and beautiful views.

It’s so a wonderful trip for who love ocean and mountains view. Never feel tiring for such a long walk.

Nafees is a great host. I had a great time with the snowshoeing.

We couldn’t ask for a better photo op!!! Thank you so much Nafees!

Great experience, especially the location and teaching style.

Such a great experience!

So worth your money, has such an amazing personality, and will make you feel like friend instead of just a customer who purchased his tour. I would do it again & will be considering his other tours when I come back. I was a tourist from Arizona.

Great day at Mt Seymour. Nafees was very careful making sure everyone was following the group without leaving anyone behind or pushing too much. I fell in love with snowshoeing and I’m adding one to each of my ski trips going forward.

It was a great experience and Nafees was really patience with me, he help me a lot and I truly lived a great experience.

Good hike, great photography tips, making sure I was always safe, great value for your money.

Took impressive photos.

Amazing.

Great few hours taking great photos and learning how to take good quality photos. I had so much fun and learnt some new skills, so thanks for showing and teaching me.

The experience was amazing, the landscapes are stunning and Nafees is a great guide, he explains everything and has a lot of stories to tell ! Would definitely do it again.

Lovely, personalized tour of Bowen Island. Wonderful location and great photo tips – particularly at the waterfall.

We had a great time touring the island while enjoying great conversation with Nafees and his other guest.

Nafees is an amazing guide and the hike itself was awesome. Highly recommend!!

Very good experience and the tour was very good.

Spectacular location! Attentive and kind host.

A great evening in Gastown!

Nice trip with Nafees. He taught me some photography skills. Had a great time with Nafees.

Nafees is a wonderful hike guide! Really enjoyable hike! Make sure to have hiking boots!

A wonderful time. Highly recommend!

Really worth it!

Great tour, Nafees is very good and the tour is amazing, I definitely recommend it.

Easy trek! For beginners only. Nafees was great and made sure everyone is at ease!

I loved it. Got some great photos and got to enjoy nature again. I recommend this tour to anyone coming to visit Vancouver Canada.

Truly expert local knowledge! Very scenic hike.

Amazing views. If it rains it is waterproof.

It is an amazing place with beautiful views.

Nafees was great. We truly enjoyed Bowen island with him and Derrick.

This was such a special birthday gift for a friend.

A highlight of our trip! We had the best time and learned so much!

Nafees was kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and a patient teacher.

It was a very cool hike with nafees. Very friendly guide. Very nice photos:)

Great experience.

Wonderful half day journey!

Nafees was a great host and guide thru and thru! If you wish to visit the wilderness and capture the moment in the best possible way, join Nafees in Lynn Canyon.

Amazing experience!! Would definitely do it again!

Great place to connect with mother nature.

Awesome hike ! Smart and savvy guide.

Everything excellent! Great guide.

Great guide/photography tips.

Really good hiking!!!

I highly recommend!!

He did great.
