Ahead of Canada Day, 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.
“We’ve always been incredibly proud of our Canadian roots; it’s a country that has not only welcomed me with open arms, but also provided the opportunity to grow an incredible global travel community, committed to changing lives through travel. These new trips mark an exciting step forwards as we approach our 35th anniversary and pay homage to where we have come from. Our domestic travellers will have the opportunity to explore some of the wonders of their own backyard, while our international travel community will get an insider’s peek into the natural and cultural gems that Canada has to offer. With the addition of our Arctic Expedition adventures, we’re also excited for travellers to explore regions of Iceland, Greenland and the Canadian coastline that few get to visit, aboard our G Expedition ship for the first time,” says Bruce Poon Tip, founder of G Adventures.
“We’ve had countless requests from our travellers and agents in recent years for more Canada trips and, when they ask, we listen. In true G Adventures style, these new trips are about so much more than just seeing Canada – they’re about diving in with both feet, and really experiencing the destination. Local communities and supporting small businesses are central to the trips, so travellers will stay in small, locally owned accommodations and to learn firsthand about the history and culture of the Indigenous Métis people near Smoky Lake,” he adds.
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.
