Some of our guests have shared their thoughts about their time here at Paddlers Inn. We wanted to share them with you.
"Thank you so much for the inviting atmosphere, for all your knowledge, and how you helped us to find a good way to live with nature. For one week we have been paddling between the islands of the Broughton Archipelago, and have seen beauty, animals and lived in a beautiful wonderful world.
A huge silence has come over us. That is what I would like to conserve forever. We will never forget this place and our experience here. Thank you for the great trip to the real wild of Canada."

"I remember someone telling me that people should not see things to beautiful, have experiences too good, or engage in association too intense, because one would never be satisfied with their life again. I am old enough to know that one must seize those things when possible, and that this too can become part of the mosaic of ones life, not a cause for envy later. This is how I feel about my time with you."

"Our expedition ended at the Paddlers Inn. It has been like traveling through time, visiting historic First Nations village sites, seeing few signs of industrialization, and ending up here where some buildings date back to the early 1900's. This trip has certainly emphasized the fragility of our environment, and the need to treat it with care and attention. Thank you so very much."
