Camping & Hiking · Water Sports · Ontario
A small-group day-tour company from Toronto running guided hikes and wildlife trips to places like the Bruce Peninsula, Muskoka and Algonquin. Reviewers rave about the guide, pacing and small groups.
Toronto EcoAdventures picks up small groups in Toronto and drives them out for guided day hikes and nature trips. Destinations in the reviews include the Grotto and Lion's Head on the Bruce Peninsula, Inglis Falls, Hardy Lake and Huckleberry Rock lookout in Muskoka, and Algonquin's Rock Lake trail. Groups are capped at around six or seven, which solo travellers say makes it easy to join in.
The owner-guide is the reason for the nearly perfect rating. Reviewers describe him as knowledgeable about ecology and history, careful about safety, and happy to take photos and video and suggest good food stops. The vehicle is spacious and comfortable, and private group trips can be tailored.
Beyond hiking, there are wildlife trips. One moose-search outing turned up no moose but plenty of birds, hawks and an eastern wolf. Fall and winter tours are offered, and one reviewer joined a Northern Lights trip to Yellowknife. Google lists a family discount.
Days are long, around 12 hours for the Lion's Head trip, and some hikes are moderate to challenging for beginners. One hiker wished for more free time at a lakeside lunch stop. Stretch beforehand and ask about the difficulty when booking.
