Itinerary

Our adventure begins at 9:00 am and after a friendly welcome from your Moose driver, we head down the Trans-Canada Highway towards Montreal. Along the way we make several stops including the Thousand Islands—where we board a cruise boat to tour an area that has been famous for smuggling since the 1920’s. From here we travel to Montreal—the City of Festivals and go out that evening to explore the cafes, bars, and restaurants.

It is an 11:00 am start today as we drive through the beautiful Laurentian Hills to the region of Mont Tremblant. We arrive around mid-day with plenty of time to do some canoeing, hiking, cycling or shopping. You can even ride a gondola up the mountain or try out a real luge ride! There is first class spa located nearby if you want to soak in hot tubs and view the natural surroundings. This evening, we have a group dinner at the hostel.

Today we begin our tour through spectacular countryside towards Ottawa—the capital of Canada. Along the way we stop at Omega Park where you can see bears, buffalo, wapiti, deer, wolves, boars and of course MOOSE—so keep your camera handy! We arrive around 3:00 pm and after check-in we take a walking tour of the city. Afterwards we head out for a few drinks and dinner (extra cost) to Ye Aulde Dubliner—Irish style!

The bus leaves Ottawa in the afternoon so you have time to explore the city on your own or join the tour guide as we head over Victoria Island for an Aboriginal experience (extra fee). Our route to Fort Coulonge is a beautiful drive along the river and we arrive at Esprit lodge in the early evening. Dinner tonight is a barbeque feast of salmon and/or steak (vegetarian option also available). If you choose to raft the next day--and we recommend it--you are in good hands- since the Esprit team was voted one of top rafting companies in the world by National Geographic!

If you are rafting, today is an early start at 7:30 am. We take a short ride to the departure point and spend the day on the river—rafting or riverboarding. If you decide to stay at the lodge you can swim, canoe, hike or go mountain bike riding. At the end of the day, we come back to the lodge and settle down to another great meal and relax on the patio with a cold beverage.

We start at 9:00 am today with a short drive to Madawaska Base Camp. After check-in we start to explore Algonquin Park--home to over 10,000 moose, 2,000 black bears, beavers, wolves and many more animals. Today is spent doing outdoor activities-- swimming in a peaceful lake, a short hike in the woods and a trip to the local visitors center. Tonight we enjoy an outdoor barbeque around the campfire where you can try to hear the wolves howling in the distance!

This morning we have an early morning breakfast and head out for a beautiful canoe ride to Moore’s Falls. After lunch we head to Toronto passing through Algonquin Park so you have more wildlife viewing opportunities. We stop for a short hike at Ragged Falls where we can take a refreshing shower. From here we continue to the Dorset Fire Tower for a spectacular view of the surrounding wilderness. The last leg of our journey takes us to Toronto—we arrive around 6:00 pm and drop you off at your accommodation. Remember we have a wrap up party starting at 8:00 pm on the outdoor patio of Global Village Backpackers—so don’t miss out!
