Toronto to Algonquin in 12 hours: guided canoeing on Canoe Lake, Ragged Falls hike, lookout views, and a Popcorn Island swim.
“I had an incredible day ! Our guide Mike was super nice and he knew a lot about the park and its wild life. We saw wonderful landscapes, it’s really worth the 3 hours drive !!”
Hike Mont-Tremblant National Park on a Montreal day trip. Pick trails, picnic by the forest, and maybe swim at Chute-aux-rats.
“A real magnificent and unforgettable adventure experience I had. I strongly recommend going on this trip during the autumn season when you’ll see the colourful leaves of the forest as a natural work of art.”
Jasper’s Maligne Valley wildlife and waterfalls tour with a guided Maligne Lake hike, Medicine Lake viewpoints, and flexible stops when canyon waterfalls close.
“We absolutely loved this tour. A little bit of our enjoyment was due to luck - we had 7 animal sightings on the way to Maligne Lake and more on the way back. However, the principal reason we loved this was because our guide, Ross, was outstanding. His knowledge of everything outdoors was just amazing and in the 5½ hours we spent with him we learned so much. We could not recommend this tour more highly to anyone who comes to Jasper.”
Guided hike in Jacques-Cartier National Park from Quebec City with tastings, lunch, and free exploring time, small group, bus included
“I enjoyed having a guide for the first few hours and then being able to explore on our own for the last couple of hours. The guide was very informative and punctual.”
Six hours from Jasper to Maligne Canyon and Maligne Lake, wildlife spotting, geology, and a guided 2-3 km lakeshore hike.

Small group e-bike ride through Vermilion Lakes and the Bow Valley Parkway, ending with a guided Johnston Canyon walk to Lower Falls.
“The cycle ride was nice and easy in the e-bike and the hike in Johnston Canyon very picturesque, although quite busy. Luke was our guide and he was great.”
A small-group guided hike onto the Athabasca Glacier near Jasper, with crampons, poles, and glacier science, plus optional crevasse rappel.
“Once in a lifetime experience! Able to rappel into a crevasse on Athabasca Glacier is not something you get to do every day. Our guide Sarah was amazing, being able to cater to different age groups, fitness levels and yet everyone was able to enjoy themselves!”
Goat hiking in Quebec woods with a beaver dam visit and forest picnic, guided by Francois, with cuddly goats and Luna the dog.
“We did the winter version of this tour and let me tell you it was beyond fantastic. My kids are 13, 11, and 8 and they said it had everything they loved, showshoes, hiking, a campfire, good food, and GOATS (and Luna the dog.) Francois was lovely and great with everyone. We loved hearing all the stories, looking at the amazing scenery, and hanging with the coolest new goat friends. I cannot say enough great things about this tour. Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience!”
