Wouldn't it be great to have a good friend who lived here?
Someone to let you into all the local secrets?...

I'm Gael Gallagher and I would love to be your personal guide.

Consider me your own private naturalist, historian, and trip advisor. Using your personal preferences, I can create a unique and extraordinary tour that's guaranteed to exceed your expectations for groups and individual travellers.

Avoid the hassles of crowds, getting lost, being rushed, and "trip anxiety" that you are not making the right choices. I can give you the inside information to make your entire trip more enjoyable: The hidden beaches, secluded hiking trails, perfect picnic spots, wildlife veiwing areas, must-see attractions, and best choices for day trips based on your interests and time constraints. Half and Full day tours available.

After all a great vacation isn't just sight seeing - it's having experiences that touch your heart and mind.

These "Souvenirs" will last a lifetime.
