Testimonials as a supporting guide
Below are testimonials from guests who had Cassie as a supporting guide on other expedition leaders’ trips!
"Having Cassie as a guide never felt like having “just a trip leader” it felt like traveling with a friend. From the very first moment, Cassie has this incredible way of making you feel comfortable and welcome, like reconnecting with someone you haven’t seen in years but instantly click with again. Cassie brings such warmth, kindness, and genuine care to the group, and her energy is truly contagious. She can light up an entire room.
What stands out most is how deeply Cassie shares in everyone’s excitement. When something magical happens, like spotting whales, you can feel how much it means to her, and her joy somehow doubles the moment for everyone else. Cassie’s passion for the ocean, wildlife, and being underwater is absolutely inspiring. And beyond the dives, Cassie is simply wonderful to be around, full of great stories, laughter, and the kind of presence that brings people together. The trip was already really beautiful but Cassie made the whole experience even better!
I’m almost tempted to say it’s even cooler to be around Cassie than to be around whales, naaah I‘m joking but trust me, having both is the real deal! 🫶🏼"

"It’s incredible to think that a trip to swim with humpback whales could be magical for any reason other than the experience to swim with these gentle, graceful, wild animals. But somehow, having Cassie as a guide, made the experience so much more exciting. Her enthusiasm is infectious and Her passion for the ocean and the life within is inspiring.
Not only is she careful, responsible and ethical in her practice, but she brings all the sunshine that’s missing on those cold days to the boat.
She is warm, enthusiastic, loving, and so friendly — it’s impossible not to develop a girl crush!"

"Cassie is truly the best person you could hope to have for this experience. Her enthusiasm is unmatched, and her energy is consistently high in a way that feels genuine and contagious. You can immediately sense how deeply she loves what she does, and it’s almost impossible not to match her excitement.
At the same time, she brings a rare sensitivity and kindness to the experience. She knows how to make you feel energized and adventurous, but she also creates space for reflection and quiet appreciation of the immense beauty around you. She makes you feel connected not only to nature, but also to her — as if you’re discovering everything for the first time together, even though she is clearly knowledgeable, experienced, and exceptionally well prepared. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better guide."

"I loved having Cassie as a guide! She was the highlight of our trip. Her energy and love for whales is highly contagious and she brings such beautiful energy with each trip out. Cassie’s knowledge and hospitality as a guide are top-notch. She goes above and beyond and took very good care of us in and out of the water. She knows the whales very intimately but it’s her enthusiasm that makes the whole experience so special. I’m usually pretty reserved but she brought out the childish joy in me. I personally felt like a kid again.
She wasn’t with us all the days. Which was a shame cuz we definitely missed her on those days. Even after the whole trip, I still miss her and the joy she brings. Hope I get to join her on another trip soon!"

"Joining the expedition in the Norwegian fjords — swimming with orcas and humpback whales in Arctic waters — was a dream in itself. What truly made it unforgettable, though, was having Cassie as our assistant.
In a place that is powerful and unpredictable, where conditions can shift in minutes and emotions run high, having someone attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in the group makes all the difference. Cassie brought a calm, steady presence that made you feel safe — whether standing on deck in the freezing wind or slipping into dark, icy water with your heart pounding.
She was always there in the details: helping with gear, checking in before each entry, sharing quiet excitement after every encounter. Never intrusive, never performative — just present in the most authentic way. She created an atmosphere where everyone felt supported, encouraged, and part of something truly special.
She doesn’t just assist a trip. She elevates the entire experience."

"I loved having Cassie as our guide in Vava’u, Tonga with the Humpback Whales. Her enthusiasm and passion for the whales radiated through her. She was also very supportive and caring towards us. I felt safe knowing she was in the water with us on this spectacular journey with our beautiful whales. I had the best experience ever. I am so grateful that Cassie was there with us!! I would love to do another adventure with her. 10 ⭐️’s . 10 🐋stickers!"

"It was incredibly fortunate to meet Cassie and have her on board during our trip to Norway!
Her warm, friendly nature plus her enthusiasm and passion for wildlife and her job make her a truly special person. I really appreciated her support both in and out of the water (thank you for never making us feel inadequate!), all her advice – from photography to how to behave in the water – and her ability to create a family atmosphere right from the start.
I cherish our chats, the non-stop laughter, dancing in our wetsuits to keep warm and waiting together for the Northern Lights!
I left Norway feeling like I had gained a new friend and I can’t wait for our next trip together.
Thank you so much for making our trip even more unforgettable 💙🥰"

"Cassie’s joy and passion for wildlife were immediately palpable. Days on the boat were full of laughs, whale lore and birthed a whole dialect of inside jokes. The experience was magnificent, and having a guide with practical knowledge, experience and expertise made it even more so."
- Elizabeth - Tonga, 2026
"The four days on the boat were simply a dream that I cannot put into words. Cassie was just as fascinated as I was, and together we enjoyed everything we experienced. She really brought the group together, even though we hadn’t known each other for very long. Cassie’s open nature made everyone feel comfortable from the very first second and like we were one big family.
The joy of seeing these wonderful animals and then being in the water with them was just incredible, and everyone had such genuine smiles on their faces that it was simply beautiful. I would go on a tour with Cassie anytime—she’s a great guide a kind-hearted person who does everything she can to make you feel comfortable and have an unforgettable time 🥰🥰🥰"

"It was wonderful to be with Cassie; she made the travel experience even more stimulating and fun. She’s super kind, very nice, and highly organized. She helped us with everything and was very attentive to our needs as tourists. She cooks wonderfully, and it was truly great to get to know her and share that experience together. I really hope to meet her again somewhere around the world."
- Allyson - Norway, 2025
"Cassie has been an absolutely amazing guide! She knows wildlife behavior and individual personalities extremely well, and she explained clearly how we should behave in the water to get the most out of every encounter and every dive.
She was the most passionate person on the boat and allowed herself to feel emotional, as if it were her very first encounter with these beautiful animals. Meeting her was incredibly motivating and inspiring. I truly hope to dive together again very soon."
