Adventures in canada - holidays in ontario and quebec
With all the expertise we have in adventure travel around the globe, Canada is still one of our favourite holiday playgrounds. And sometimes we do not have to travel further than our own neck of the woods to find some great vacation options. Here are our best adventure holidays in Ontario and Quebec.
Quebec - Cycle the Route des Bleuets
6 days from CA$850
Leisurely self-guided cycling trip
Quebec's Blueberry Cycling Route circles Lac-Saint-Jean on a 250 kms paved route, taking you through small towns, picturesque farmland and forests and by pale wooden houses and shining church spires. Blueberry farms, microbreweries and cheese shops abound and with short cycling days there will be plenty of opportunities to indulge in all the great food and sights this route has to offer.

Ontario - Bruce Peninsula Hikes
5 days from CA$999
Leisurely / Moderate self-guided hiking
Enjoy the best day hikes on Ontario's Bruce Peninsula, following clifftop trails along stunning Georgian Bay. This is where Adventure Coordinators maintains a portion of the famous Bruce Trail and you will hike it on day 3. With limestone cliffs dropping off deep into azure-blue waters, on a sunny day you will believe you are in the Mediterranean rather than in Canada. See this trip
Quebec - Le P'tit Train Du Nord
5 days from CA$999
Moderate self-guided cycling
The Laurentians are host to gorgeous lakes, deep forests and small communities, once connected by rail. Now you can cycle the rail trail on a leisurely 200 kms ride through this wonderful area. Don't forget to fill your picnic basket with some of the great cheese and wine available at local stores! See this trip
Self-drive Quebec - Best of La Belle Province
10 days from CA$1736
Leisurely Self-drive
Québec, la Belle Province, is quintessential French Canada. World-class Montreal and pretty Quebec City make up the urban side of this self-drive vacation. In between you will discover such gems as the beautiful Charlevoix region, go whale watching in Tadoussac, discover the Saguenay Fjord and Lac St Jean before ending in the pretty Eastern Townships. Discover all the charming villages and beautiful scenery Québec is known for and by all means, do indulge in the wine, cheese and artisan foods. Bon appétit! See this trip
Algonquin Winter Adventure
6 days from CA$1790
Moderate Small Group Holiday
Winter in Ontario's Algonquin area is a completely different experience from summer. Silence reigns in the woods, frozen lakes and snow-covered trees reflect abundant sunshine and everywhere you go, animal tracks abound. During your stay in a log cabin you get to enjoy the Great Outdoors through dog sledding, snowshoeing and skiing. This is winter in Canada at its best. See this trip
Ontario - Rideau Canal by house boat
4 days from CA$1934
Moderate Self-Guided Trip
Ontario's Rideau Canal is the oldest continuously-operated canal system in Canada and indeed North America and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Boating along it, great for both novices and experts alike, you will find charming villages and beautiful nature. A great way to unwind! See this trip
Quebec - Trekking in Charlevoix
7 days from CA$1990
Moderate Self-Guided Hiking Trip
The Traversée de Charlevoix is one of Canada's best long-distance hiking trails outside of the Rockies. We take the issue of planning out of your hands by transferring your luggage from hut to hut so you only need to carry a daypack. This leaves you to enjoy the pristine Quebec wilderness of this UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, carrying only a daypack. See this trip
