"I went kayaking on August 11th. Thank you for a great start to a wonderful birthday. Adam was knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. It was hilarious when my aunt turned over her kayak when we were barely five minutes into our adventure. Adam and two other young ladies were right there to assist my aunt. Thank you for a great time. Sincerely," -Kym L.
“Hats off to Rick for hiring such a talented and fun team. It was easy to relax and take risks when your life is in the hands of experienced professionals. Mike and Nancy walk on water. I came here knowing nothing and leave feeling empowered and ready to go again. Great options in the itinerary- thanks for keeping us away from the crowds. Rick has done a wonderful job of networking with the locals and it pays off. Thank you all for the time of my life.” -Connie R.
“A wonderful trip for the “old” and “young”. I hope to play with you guys again. Beautiful country, scenery, the joy of visiting this wonderful country and seeing it from a “fluid” perspective. A wonderful experience. If visiting a foreign land, seeing its special beauty and enjoying the wonderful hospitality of its people is important, this trip is for you! Thanks.” -Chip B
'A trip of a lifetime…I’m so lucky to have worked for NWP and get to experience the pay of an excellent trip in the most beautiful land I’ve ever been to. Can’t wait to do more work, so I can do more play. Thanks, guys!” -Vicki G
"What a trip! We brought the unexpected- wind, rain, cold weather and we loved it! Many firsts- flying pouchs, crossing a flooded river, saving a poor German woman from the Gorge who was left behind by her tour guide. Too bad that Mike had to tow Rick so often. Great time and hate to leave. I really like the local flavor and how well the people knew NWP people.” -Nancy & Terry M
“The trip was fabulous! The support vehicles and the many options made the trip especially enjoyable for me.” -Marilyn B.
“Experiencing a week of sea kayaking in the Mediterranean is what drew me to this trip. We do not do much sea kayaking in Ohio! Being in the water and paddling past spectacular scenery was exactly what we had hoped for. An added bonus was the quality of people we met on this trip - a good group of like-minded people set on a good adventure! And did we have an adventure! Thank you!” -Kathy V.
“Our group was friendly and fun. The staff members were a part of the group even though they worked long hours. The quality of personal instruction was excellent, and every day was different. I’m going to tell my friends about this trip!” -David K.

"If you want to sit on a beach all day and have a cabana boy bring you Rum Punch while you are on vacation, this might not be the trip for you. If, on the other hand, you want to literally immerse yourself in some of the most beautiful water in the world, experience life like a local and finish each day with that wonderful fatigue that comes from doing a vigorous but fun activity all day long (and makes that first cold beer taste like heaven) this is your adventure. My sincere thanks to Rick, Emily and all the Northwest Passage staff for truly making this the trip of a lifetime!!" - Rob and Ann
"I am grateful to have had this experience. Without such an expertly guided tour, I would have missed some lesser-known treasures of Crete. Thank you Eric and Andrew. You're the best!" -Susan

“Dear Rick and Ryan – Kudos to you both for a great circumnavigation of not one, not two, but at least three Cyclades islands! Wow! Thank you! Also a special acknowledgment for your skills at finding outstanding inns and tavernas. They've been the best and so are you! Thanks too for bringing us together for the adventure. Sincerely" -Karen
“I loved my Northwest Passage experience! I had not kayaked previously but it was something that I had planned to do for several years - so it was a dream come true. The most vivid and satisfactory experience was our final paddle of the trip. We had windy conditions and happy water was dancing around the kayak. At that moment all the teaching and lessons came together as we maneuvered to our landing site. I have not had that feeling of confidence and completion for years. I am most happy to talk with anyone about my experience.”-Jayne H

“Nice work. Great selection of hotels...terrific tavernas with great grub...nice sidelights e.g. sunset walks, cool shopping recommendations...great competencies in kayaks.
