Reviews & Reputation

Review Highlights

Excellent Adventures Outposts has a strong reputation among guests. Reviewers consistently give top marks, and many return year after year. Repeat business runs roughly 75%. Guests describe their trips as standout experiences and say they plan to return. Guests often credit owners Faron and Joyce and their staff for the quality and consistency of the operation.

Guests praise several areas in particular: the professionalism and friendliness of the float plane pilots, the food, and the guiding staff for both fishing and moose hunting. Guests describe the lodging as comfortable and well above a basic "roughing it" experience. Cat Island Lodge combines strong fishing with comfortable accommodations and good cuisine. Hunting guides receive high marks for their knowledge and for handling logistics from start to finish, including meal preparation and transporting harvested game.

There are no recurring complaints. Guest feedback is uniformly positive across lodging, staff, food, and the trip as a whole. This outfitter is best suited for anglers looking for a fly-in fishing trip with comfortable accommodations, hunters pursuing trophy moose in Ontario's Sunset Country, and guests who want to combine both activities in a single trip. It suits both first-time fly-in visitors and experienced outdoors travelers looking for a well-organized, full-service remote operation.
