Out Here provides small group adventures for travellers to experience what makes Canada spectacular properly. Trips that make you feel that you are on a road trip with a local expert leading the way. One of our favourite locations is Cape Breton – where we always stay more than 3+ nights to experience it on a grand Canadian tour. Its a natural paradise and we will take full advantage. Mention Cape Breton or Cabot Trail to travellers and for the lucky ones in the know youll witness them get visibly excited.
The central & east coast regions of Canada are breathtaking and incredibly diverse loaded with highlights and world wonders. The best beaches in Canada, best whale watching in Canada, highest tides in the world, best rafting, dark-sky preserves, unique cities like Ottawa, Halifax, Toronto, Charlottetown and Montreal, best national parks that are all unique like Algonquin, Cape Breton, and Gaspesie.The beauty is that for many parts there won’t be other tourists around or trying for the same photo. Of course we visit the staples like Quebec City… but we also venture to places like The Gem of Ontario, The Kingdom of Saguenay, Paradise & Parties, Seafood and Potatoes, the Baddest Bay, Lobsters & Lighthouses, Celtic Scenery (Cape Breton), and many spots where mountains meet the sea.
Maybe you want to sleep in a Yurt beside a river with bands playing steps away in a tiki bar? We got that. Swim in abandoned mine after a coastal hike? Check. Watch the sunset after a trail hike? Yep. A Quebec boite de chanson? Definitely.
Until Out Here arrived there were no youth adventure tour providers that enabled a great trip out here so it hasn’t gotten the press it deserves that is changing fast. Out Here is growing rapidly and showing people the times of their lives. Our past travellers are coming back raving!
Trips are experience first 2-3 nights per location (with included day-trips to explore), far-flung locations that few know beforehand though end up raving about (e.g., Tadoussac aka Whales & Hippies), spacious mini-buses, built in flexibility, loaded with local experiences. Only amazing add-ons we don’t waste people’s time like scaling beside a 73M waterfall, rafting the might Ottawa and kayaking in the Baddest Bay in the World.
