View Profile

Great Canadian Trails is the active Canadian holiday specialist, offering unique hiking and cycling adventure packages from coast to coast… to coast. Experience charming communities and changing landscapes at handlebar level, paddle along dramatic shorelines and hike rugged trails with the support of our expert local team.

With both small group guided tours with reduced pack weight, and supported self-guided tours, Great Canadian Trails makes it easy to explore Canada’s vast wilderness and quiet communities.

On our guided hikes, we do things a little differently. On iconic backpacking trails, we literally take the weight off your shoulders with pack support and food drops.

On our self guided trips we take care of reserving charming accommodation and moving your main luggage everyday so that you can explore at your own pace with only a daypack. Plus, all participants on a self guided tour receive comprehensive maps and custom route notes with helpful information on the best places to visit, eat, and explore each day.

Canadian trails are now within reach for all active travellers.
