Jelmer is incredibly knowledgeable, calm, and attentive. He found places that aren’t in the guidebooks, prepared fresh and tasty meals, and gave our family an experience we won’t soon forget.

We took a private wilderness glamping trip with Jelmer in May 2026 and had an amazing time. Warm, comfortable nights, delicious meals with wine pairing, a beautiful riverside camp 80 km from civilisation, and a guide who kept us safe, laughed with us, and tailored hikes perfectly to our Dutch ‘no hills’ experience. Even as an inexperienced camper, I felt completely looked after.

I’d wanted to experience true Canadian wilderness for years but had no idea where to start. Through Jelmer I found exactly what I hoped for: no crowded parks or tourist nonsense, just pure nature, silence, a comfortable camp with surprisingly good meals, and a calm, friendly guide who makes you feel at ease even if you’re not used to being out in the wild. This is not a standard tourist tour, it’s the real experience!
