Get back to nature

Canada is a natural choice for keen hikers, with countless trails to explore. While the well-trodden routes of Jasper National Park and the coastal paths of Vancouver Island are popular for a reason, it's often the quieter, lesser-known spots that leave a lasting impression. 

With expert local guides and small group sizes, Little America hiking excursions take you beyond the usual tourist spots. Follow sections of the picturesque Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island or wander beneath vibrant autumn foliage in Algonquin Provincial Park.

For something more adventurous, take to the skies on a heli-hiking excursion led by professional guides, whisking you into the heart of the Rockies’ rugged landscapes. 

For a truly immersive experience, venture deeper into the wilderness on a multi-day guided expedition. From alpine trails to glacier treks, discover some of Canada’s most breathtaking landscapes on a journey that stays with you far beyond the summit.

Uncover the city's secrets

Many of Canada’s towns and cities are best explored on foot. A guided walking tour offers a fascinating and engaging way to learn about the area's history and uncover hidden gems loved by locals. 

Wander the cobbled streets of Old Montréal, explore the French-inspired architecture of Québec City, or discover the charm of UNESCO World Heritage-listed Lunenburg in Nova Scotia.
