Outward Bound Canada Competitors

We’ve always believed that travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how it changes you. From the very beginning, we set out to do things differently. No cookie-cutter tours. No giant buses or cruise ships. Just real people, venturing out into the world with open minds, open hearts, and a sense of purpose. For over 35 years, we’ve been creating life-changing experiences that connect travellers with the communities they visit — not just passing through, but showing up with care, curiosity, and intention. We call it community tourism, and it’s been in our DNA since day one. But we’re not just a travel company. We’re a people company. Powered by the passion of our team, the heartbeat of our local partners, and the energy of every traveller who’s ever said “yes” to something new. To travel your heart out is to go all in. To move through the world with compassion, courage, and joy. It’s about embracing the bizarre, celebrating the beautiful, and connecting with something bigger than yourself. It means leading with love — for the planet, for people, and for the possibilities that come with saying let’s go. We don’t do this to fill passports. We do it to fill lives. To build connection. To create joy. To leave the world better than we found it — one step, one trip, one ripple at a time. This is travel that goes way beyond travelling. This is G Adventures. And we’re just getting started.

Adventure Canada is a family-run travel company with more than thirty years’ experience specializing in small-ship cruises to the world’s more remote coastlines. We engage, educate, and entertain by connecting people to each other and the land through travel. We travel to the best places, with the best people, in the best way. Our pioneering approach to expedition cruises and small-group experiences emphasizes wildlife, culture, learning, and fun. By travelling with local experts, learned scholars, scientists, artists, and expedition specialists, we hope to help our clients open their minds and hearts. We know we’ve succeeded when our clients become ambassadors for the places we visit, the cultures we get to know, the animals and the environment we appreciate along the way—and the planet itself! We build our expedition team around the knowledge and experience of a team of culturalists, many of whom call the regions to which we travel their homes. With their guidance, we gain locals’ perspective while giving back to communities.
