Tours of a Lifetime
O Canada! G Adventures celebrates its roots and
opens new doors to travellers with its largest Canada expansion to date
G Adventures is paying homage to its Canadian heritage with the launch of nine exciting new adventures, right on its doorstep. Spanning six provinces, the trips will highlight the very best in landscapes, wildlife, culture and community experiences in the adventure travel company’s home country.
Covering Classic, Active and Marine travel styles, the new trips will take travellers from the towering mountains of the Canadian Rockies and colourful fishing villages of the East Coast, to the fjords and national parks of Northern Québec. Following the recent announcement of G Adventures’ Arctic Expedition relaunch, travellers will also have the rare opportunity to journey by sea from Iceland’s southwest coast, around the rugged shores of Greenland to the breathtaking landscapes of Canada’s easternmost province, Newfoundland and Labrador.
In the East, the Newfoundland Adventure: From Signal Hill to Gros Morne offers rugged coastlines, puffin colonies, misty fjords, national parks, cozy pubs, art workshops and museums, celebrating the coastal charm and history of Newfoundland. Heading West, the Canadian Rockies Winter Adventure takes travellers to snow-capped peaks, frozen waterfalls and quaint mountain towns. Travellers will strap on their snowshoes and trek the trails of Sunshine Meadows and through Johnston Canyon and, weather permitting, the adventurous can walk across Abraham Lake, watching the giant ice bubbles trapped beneath the surface.
The new trips will cover a broad and varied geographic swath by both land and sea, from Newfoundland with its rugged coastlines, puffin colonies, national parks and museums to the Rockies where travelers will be awed by snow-capped peaks, frozen waterfalls and picturesque mountain towns. With itineraries tailored for both winter and summer seasons, Northern Québec offers snowshoeing to lighthouses, ice fishing, dog sledding and cozy chalet accommodation from December to February, while in the summer months of June to September, active travellers can get the blood pumping with treetop trail adventures, hikes through Parc Jaseux and kayaking through Saguenay Fjord.
Highlights from the nine new Canada itineraries include:
