“The classes and trips I have taken with Island Ford Adventures have far exceeded my expectations. My outdoor skills, knowledge and confidence have grown exponentially because of Jayne’s deep knowledge, hands-on teaching style and contagious passion for the outdoors. As a bonus, I have also made valuable new friendships through our adventures! So much fun and very reasonable prices - I highly recommend!”
