We know that a wildlife viewing, hiking, canoe, snowshoeing, snowmobiling or sightseeing tour is a social event as much as it is an adventure, and guides are the catalysts that make the event what it is.

Not just the physical energy but the social energy. Good guides have strong social skills. They care about people, and are sensitive to their needs. They are entertaining, engaging and fun to be with. They are also responsible for ensuring the safety of the group and ensuring that tour groups remain together.
