Comprising a growing suite of hiking and cycling holidays, the specially crafted itineraries allow travellers to experience Canada’s landscapes supported by the company’s quality services.
“We’ve seen a substantial rise in bookings on our supported self guided itineraries this season,” says Nathalie Gauthier, Manager of Great Canadian Trails. “As the only tour operator occupying this space in Canada, we’re thrilled to provide authentic experiences for independent, active travellers.”
With planning, accommodations, daily luggage transfers, and some meals pre-arranged, supported self guided travel makes it easy to experience Canada’s countryside.

They also have access to a friendly local emergency contact in the event that they require assistance.
“Our thorough organization, detailed route information, and luggage transfers make Canada’s trails more accessible for domestic and international travellers alike,” adds Gauthier. “Self guided itineraries really let people travel in a way that they can experience the best of the countryside, with the support of experienced travel professionals.”
