Lead Guide. A combination of explorer, academic and artist.

He may have logged more time observing bears and their natural habitat throughout Whistler's Callaghan Valley than most, and his exclusive agreement with the Whistler Olympic Park provides unique access. @bohopro

After spending 2015 as a Whistler local, Chris fell in love with mountain biking & outdoor photography and returned to rekindle these passions. Having spent the first part of his career in tech-sales and being a graduate of History, Chris loves sharing stories and is always keen to learn more about BC’s nuanced ecology and environment. Outside of work you can find him learning about aerial videography or planning his next mountain adventure. |
LORENA GARAL
While racing mountain bikes, Lore's love for nature began to grow very quickly. With a lifestyle and sports that took her to the mountains, she had the opportunity to grow up among trees and wildlife. After winning few National titles, Lore decided to focus on her other passion: wildlife! and started an NGO called Wimok to promote and support wildlife conservation programs. This new path took her to the Mayan Riviera where she worked as a Nature Guide collaborating hand in hand with biologists and local communities in the conservation of flora and fauna of the region. Today she is in Canada guiding our tours. @LorenaGaral |
