Certainly one of the highlights of our holiday to Canada." Owen and Beryl, Johannesburg, South Africa "...I had a wonderful time and I have enough material for at least four articles.

I think you have a terrific product. You are exactly the kind of person we need to introduce visitors and locals to the wonders of the back country." Laurie Carter - International Travel Writer. Travel story in eVent magazine July 11, 2002 and personal coorespondence. "This tourist attraction is off the beaten track - sometimes away off. "We're the tour tourists want to take after they've sat on the beach and done the wine tours...People like the idea of getting away from it all, going into the mountains for amazing views and wildlife spotting." Steve MacNaull Focus on Entrepreneurs: The Daily Courier, Kelowna, British Columbia, July 10, 2002. "British Columbia in a Ford Excursion...If you want to experience civilized backcountry off-piste travel, Steve Noakes with his Ford Excursion is your man. (This) includes his vast knowledge of the outback with a swell sense of humour in an easy yet exquisitely safe atmosphere. Without having to endure the usual physical rigors of outdoor ecotourism, Noakes makes the hinterland accessible to everyone." Steve Giordano and Lynn Rosen. Travel Writers and Photographers. RV Life Magazine, June 2002. "By this time next year, you'll have a fleet of trucks touring the province. You've got a great business concept here." Joe Rosendo, Travelscope. International travel radio documentary in California and Florida. "I have known Steve Noakes (of GeoQwest Excursions) for 25 years, in which time he has amassed an enormous amount of experience working in remote wilderness, in off-road driving, and in the mining heritage of western Canada. There is absolutely no one else that I would rather have leading me on a backroad excursion." Dr. Fes de Scally and Family. Geography Professor and Mountain Hazards Specialist. "Our GeoQwest back-roads experience was a unique, interesting, entertaining and fun adventure for our family. One trip isn't enough." Jude and Family Kelowna, BC. Freelance Writer "We piled into Steve's huge SUV and comfortably and slowly climbed a mountain in the backwoods of Kelowna - it was steep climb and quite exciting as we made our way up the hill. Steve's experience and knowledge made the trip safe and fun at the same time. We learned about the geology of the land and saw sites we'd never have seen without Steve's guidance. If you want a traditional family fun day go to the water slides - if you want to do something educational, exciting and involves nature then call GeoQwest Excursions" Sean and Family Seattle, Washington "What a driver! Such a wonderful day. And the winch really works guys!" Christina. Gloucester, England. Your business continues to provide a valuable service that goes beyond tourism alone. You offer an exceptional educational experience based on true British Columbia heritage while at the same time increasing public awareness of mining, its modern practices and the continuing value it delivers to the citizens of our province.
