Jeff & Jane R – Buffalo, MN

Wanted to write to you this morning as we used your outfitting services about 3 weeks ago.  My wife and I are experienced BWCA folks and just wanted to try a new outfitter in Ely.  New to us as we have used 2-3 outfitters from Ely and a couple from the North Shore as well….

Ryan and the boys are helpful, kind, courteous, ….a great outfitter.  Yes, if you are guessing we did a Boy Scout High Adventure trip with their help.  Great service and rates for scouting groups.  Service exceeded my expectations.  Felt like we worked with a neighbor to plan trip. One of our Life Scouts made contact…

Several friends and I have been making trips to the BW for the last several years now and have been going through Cliff Wold’s every time. Ryan does a great job at recommending different routes based on the skill level and desire of trip (fishing, scenic, etc.), reserving the permit, and handling all the paperwork…

This past summer I ventured on a trek to the Boundary Waters with the Boy Scouts. It was an amazing experience, but wouldn’t have been the same if it hadn’t been for Cliff Wold’s. Ryan’s willingness to help plan and answer any questions you may have makes the customer service phenomenal. When compared to other…

My first trip to the BWCA was in 1976 with several fellow recent high school graduates. We were definitely novices. I think most portages took at least 3 trips. Near the end of the week one of our crew got pretty sick. We made a long push and got back to the landing a day…

I went on a Boundary Waters trip with my dad and a couple friends and we were extremely happy with how the trip turned out. Every staff member was very polite and helpful and Cliff Wold’s was a great choice. The only thing that I would have changed is it would have been helpful to…

I had an exceptional time in the BWCA this past summer (my first time), thanks largely in part to Ryan and his staff at Cliff Wold’s. The staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and fun from beginning to end. It’s clear they’ve fine-tuned their process over the years because we had everything we needed on our week-long…

Bill C – Chesterton, IN

What a great staff! They couldn’t have been more helpful and encouraging. We brought along a number of “extras” we thought we would need and they had thoughtfully been included in our supplies. The food was very good and there was nothing I would eliminate. There were 4 of us and because of rainy weather…

Don J – Eagle, WI

I took our Boy Scout Troop to the Boundary Waters; working with Ryan and his staff definitely made our trip great. They were more than willing to work with the equipment that we already had and made suggestions that were very useful. From planning the trip to completion it could not have gone better!  I…

Carson T – Stone Mountain, GA

Ryan and the crew helped our group through and through. When things don’t go as planned with our itinerary he was there to adjust, accommodate, credit our account, and set us in the right direction. Planning the trip is super simple with great forms for selection of gear and food. We have used them multiple…
