If you’ve been thinking about your next adventure, October is a good time to start planning.

This October, Adventure Coordinators is doing something a little different. Book a qualifying adventure tour during October and receive a $100 gift certificate from a Canadian-owned company of your choice.

Book Your Adventure. Support Canada.

With tariffs continuing to be imposed on Canadian goods and ongoing uncertainty affecting businesses across the country, I wanted to do something that felt practical and positive. As a proudly Canadian-owned, small, family-run business, I believe supporting Canadian businesses matters, particularly when times are uncertain. So rather than simply offering a discount on travel this October, I decided to put $100 towards a Canadian-owned company, chosen by each person who books a qualifying adventure tour through Adventure Coordinators. It’s a small gesture, but one that allows us to enjoy the benefits of international travel while putting a little something back into businesses here at home.

It could be your favourite independent restaurant, outdoor retailer, bookstore, bike shop, theatre, attraction or another Canadian-owned company that you enjoy supporting.

For this promotion, I’m working with three adventure travel companies that I regularly recommend: Explore Worldwide, Intrepid Travel and Exodus Travels.

Why these three tour operators?

I chose these three operators for two reasons.

First, each offers something different. Between them, they cover a wide range of small-group adventure tours, cultural travel, walking holidays and cycling holidays.

Second, all three are Certified B Corporations. B Corp certification looks at a company’s social and environmental performance, governance, accountability and impact on its workers, communities, customers and the environment. For me, that makes it an important consideration when deciding which companies I want to work with.

Explore Worldwide: adventure at a reasonable cost

Explore Worldwide has been operating adventure tours since 1981 and offers more than 350 trips in around 100 countries. Its range includes wildlife, food and cultural discovery, walking and cycling, family adventures, and rail journeys.

One of the things I particularly like about Explore is the combination of a range of price points and well-researched itineraries.

Adventure travel doesn’t have to mean an expensive expedition or a technically demanding trek. Explore offers a wide range of small-group trips that make adventure travel accessible while still providing thoughtfully designed itineraries.

Its walking and cycling holidays are available at different activity levels, making it easier to find something that matches your interests and abilities.

For travellers looking for good-value small-group adventure tours with well-planned itineraries, Explore is well worth considering.

Intrepid Travel: cultural immersion and local experiences

Intrepid Travel is particularly well known for small-group travel, local leaders and cultural experiences. With trips in more than 100 countries, its range covers everything from classic cultural tours to food, wildlife, cycling, walking and multi-activity adventures.

What stands out about Intrepid is its emphasis on cultural immersion.

A destination can look very different when you have someone who lives there explaining the history of a neighbourhood, introducing you to local food or showing you somewhere you might otherwise have missed.

Many Intrepid itineraries build these sorts of experiences into the trip, giving travellers opportunities to connect with local people and communities rather than simply moving between the major tourist sights.

For travellers who put culture, food, local experiences and meeting people high on their list, Intrepid is a particularly good option.

Exodus Travels: guided and self-guided walking and cycling

Exodus Travels has more than 50 years of experience in adventure travel and offers trips across all continents. Although its programme includes cultural, wildlife, family and multi-activity adventures, Exodus has a particularly strong reputation for walking and cycling holidays.

Its guided walking holidays range from relatively gentle walks to more demanding mountain adventures, with activity grades helping travellers choose a trip that matches their fitness and experience.

Cycling is another major part of its programme, with road cycling, off-road and e-bike options in destinations around the world.

Exodus also offers self-guided walking and cycling holidays. These are a good option for travellers who want the freedom to set their own pace while having accommodation, luggage transfers and route information arranged for them.

So whether you want the company of a guided group or the independence of a self-guided trip, Exodus offers plenty of possibilities.

Why Adventure Coordinators

One of the advantages of working with an independent travel agent like myself at Adventure Coordinators is that I’m not restricted to one tour operator.

With over 30 years of travel agency experience, I know the strengths of each tour company and the products they offer.

Having travelled to well over 100 countries and all continents, you can count on my personal travel experience.

My job is to help you compare the options and match the trip to your interests, travel style and budget.

Book Your Adventure. Support Canada.

Travel takes us around the world. That’s one of the reasons I love it.

But I also believe there is value in supporting the businesses and communities we have at home, especially these days.

That’s why this promotion brings together three things that matter to me:

• a proudly Canadian-owned travel agency

• three Certified B-Corporations adventure travel companies

• support for a Canadian-owned company chosen by you.

If you’ve been thinking about a walking holiday in Europe, a cultural adventure in Asia, a cycling trip through France, a wildlife journey in Africa, a polar cruise, or some other unique adventure, October is a good time to start planning.

I’ll help you find the trip that fits.

Then you can decide where you’d like that $100 to go.
