What Travellers Say

Just back from a delightful tour of the Yukon with Pam of Mosaic Earth Travel. Every detail of our trip was meticulously planned, and when weather dictated some changes, Pam and her local Tour partners managed them with grace and flair. From a half day canoe trip on the Yukon river to a beautiful stay in the southern Lakes resort, to a very special Jeep ride along the Alsek River Valley, to visiting the spectacular Tombstone park in fall, the trip was terrific!
E.A.Yukon, 2024
Pam designed a perfect tour for my friend and me to see all that North Vancouver Island has to offer. We had a great time, stayed at comfortable places, and were able to experience the area's wildlife, First Nations' people, beaches, hiking, and much, much more. Couldn't have had such a great time had it not been for the work that Pam put into our trip.
S.W.North Island, 2023
I had no idea that the Yukon had so much to offer! Every day was a “wow"! This is our third trip with Mosaic Earth and I can’t say enough about this company. They go the extra mile to unlock unique, out of the way experiences that are so rich in beauty, interest, education, insight and pure enjoyment. They are extremely organized, professional, responsive, and thorough, leaving no stone unturned, allowing you to completely relax, unplug and thoroughly enjoy! I also admire the strong partnership they have developed with the local residents and indigenous communities, using local guides and supporting locally-owned businesses wherever they travel.
V.D.Yukon, 2024
Our Yukon ​tour took place in late August ​and it coincided with beautiful fall colours and the northern lights​. We had a lot of fun with the other guests and ​w​e all enjoyed hiking, canoeing, rafting and even cold dips and hot saunas. Together we all experienced frontier spirit and the wonder of the wilderness. I highly recommend this tour of Yukon for anyone who ​w​ants to travel in a small group​ off the beaten path​ and to ​learn about both the landscape and the ​local people and their cultures. Be prepared to be surprised and amazed at what's around ​t​he next corner of your tour​, thanks to the knowledge and expertise of ​engaging hosts and guides.
D.C.Yukon, 2024
Mosaic Earth and their guides were awesome! I can’t say enough about the professional, organized, guest-focused approach that this company has. Many little touches throughout every day that made us feel special, well taken care of, and allowed us to completely relax, unplug and enjoy! We have travelled all over the globe and I can truly say that this one ranks among our top experiences.
V.D.West Chilcotin, 2022
Organizing a trip was something we might have done ourselves but having Mosaic Earth do the legwork made it effortless and removed any stress. That is a very valuable service. They also found "gems" that we would not have found ourselves
B.G.West Chilcotin, 2022
Mosaic Earth Guides were fabulous! Very considerate of their guests' needs, very professional and fun! They hit the right balance in terms of the amount and nature of educational information provided at/for the sites.
G.K.North Island In-Depth, 2021
For those considering a trip in Canada, I would heartily recommend it. You will be amazed at the ‘off the beaten track’ parts of Canada and comforted by the focus that Mosaic Earth Travel has on ensuring you have a most enjoyable time.
E.J.D.North Island, 2021
A fabulous holiday! Pam worked hard and consulted me often while planning a dog-friendly holiday. The itinerary was detailed and I followed it like a map. The Sechelt Indigenous-led hike was a highlight.
