Can you tell me about how you planned this trip? I’m from Alberta and I have been dreaming of Nahanni for years, but I don’t know how to reasonably get there. Drive? Fly? Both? Nearest town has groceries, haul everything in?

You’re not a travel guide so no need to answer if you don’t want, but I’m jealous of your adventure!

With every vacation I've gone on I've continued to learn more and more about how to approach it. I didn't know Hawaii could get THAT rainy if you go during their rainy season lol (rare or not if you book during a time like that it's the risk you take)

I was super happy to see some whales though so it was a trade-off for sure.

We booked the trip on a whim and basically decided January based on cost. Since booking I did enough research to know I probably didn't pick the right month to go based off what we wanted from the trip, e.g. just chilling on the beach hitting up bars for happy hour.

Moral of the story, if you're planning a multi-thousand dollar vacation DO YOUR RESEARCH. Crazy idea I know, we still had a great time tho but I was salty quite often. On one of my last days it was gorgeous for sunset, saw a whale breach from the beach, munched on a meatball sandwich and took 1000 pictures of that gorgeous sunset. Felt like Maui threw us a bone for our last days there.
