Remote islands. Rugged landings. Real Arctic.
Announcements don’t get any cooler than this: after five years, we’re officially back in the Arctic with all-new cruises that go beyond the map and deep into polar legend.
Travellers will search for polar bears in Svalbard, sail past glaciers in Greenland, and make rare landings on the wild, windswept coast of Labrador, one of the most remote, wildlife-rich regions we’ve ever explored.
With a maximum of 128 passengers, these cruises skip the crowds and get you closer to the action. On board, expert guides, researchers, and scientists don’t just lead, they bring the Arctic to life through real-time research and storytelling. Add in daily Zodiac excursions and a fun, tight-knit atmosphere, and you’ve got all the fixings for a polar adventure you won’t find anywhere else.
For those chasing the spirit of early Arctic exploration, this is as real as it gets.

Oh, Canada
Some say Canadians are the nicest people on Earth. And as a company that’s been proudly Canadian since 1990, well, we’re far too polite to disagree.
But our niceness? It doesn’t stop at the people.
We’ve also got really nice mountains. Really nice food. Really nice cities. Really nice whales. And the Northern Lights? Yeah, they’re really (really) nice too.
Now, we invite travellers to experience this niceness for themselves with nine brand-new trips designed to take them deep into the heart and soul of this really nice country.
Dogsled through Quebec’s snow-draped boreal forests. Feast on the freshest seafood straight from the Atlantic. Snowshoe across Sunshine Meadows in Banff. Step into the vibrant Métis traditions of Alberta.
And while we’re not ones to brag, after 35 proudly homegrown years, we can say this: when it comes to exploring Canada, there’s no one better to do it with than us, the people who know it best.

Why G Adventures?
We’ve been the leaders in small group adventure travel for 30+ years. How’d we get here? By listening to our travellers and giving them what they want: flexible itineraries, freedom to explore, smaller groups, safety and peace of mind, and locally based guides who show you your destination in a way you’d miss travelling any other way. What does the future of travel look like? This.
Dream Big. Travel Small.
The trip of your dreams doesn’t need a Hollywood-sized budget or years of planning. Simply join a small group of like-minded travellers that, like you, are eager to experience all the things that make our world worth exploring.
Join 10-to-12-ish fellow adventurers
We keep our groups small to create a sense of camaraderie and allow for closer connections to the places and people you visit. Most of our land tours have no more than 16 travellers and usually average 10-12 people.
Solo travellers, step right up
All our trips are solo-traveller-friendly, so you can enjoy the safety, support, and camaraderie we’re known for, even if you’re travelling alone. To keep costs fair, we’ll pair you with a same-sex roommate, or you can upgrade to My Own Room.
You’re going to need a smaller boat
If you’re more the sea-faring type, we’d love to welcome you aboard any of the intimate vessels in our fleet. Whether you’re venturing to the Antarctic on the Expedition or sailing on a private skippered yacht, our ships carry a smaller number of passengers to enjoy your journey with plenty of room while still making new connections.
Our Guides are all CEOs
At G Adventures, we don’t have tour guides — we have Chief Experience Officers. Our founder, Bruce Poon Tip, gave up his title as CEO because he felt they needed a proper title to reflect how integral they are to giving you an exceptional travel experience. (But don’t worry, they won’t be using any office attire or business jargon.)
Locally based = local experts.
Our CEOs are locally based, meaning they know the area you’re exploring like the back of their well-travelled hand. They plan visits around the best times to visit (or avoid) the most popular spots, can help you choose local restaurants, and generally give you great tips on the best things to experience. And since they usually speak the local language, they are your go-to resource for anything that comes up.
Local support. All. The. Time.
All CEOs are supported by our local operations teams 24/7. If something comes up that your CEO can’t help you with (however unlikely that is), the team nearby is there to support them in keeping you safe and happy.
Your experience is their focus.
We want you to have the time of your life — that’s why we hire the smartest, friendliest, bestest CEOs around. It’s their mission to make sure you return home feeling like your life has truly been changed.
Travel Like You Live There
Since our very first tour, our goal has been to connect travellers with local communities on a deeper level. These connections go beyond personal ones to help give back to the wider community of your destination and ensure the people who live there get as much as they give. Changing the world is easy — all you have to do is have the time of your life.
You stay local. So does your money.
Multi-floor, thousand-room hotel behemoths? Not on our tours.
We go for the connections, charm, and authenticity that can only be found in local accommodations, transport, and restaurants. This also allows us to stay at smaller hotels and eat at restaurants with fewer people. Plus, using local service providers helps support the local economy and the people that make the places we travel so special.
Giving back through community tourism.
We’ve been pioneers of community tourism since the day we started. But what is that? It means we have always created our tours by building meaningful relationships with local communities, directly benefiting the people and places we visit, including Indigenous peoples, women, youth — anyone who has traditionally been marginalized or undervalued. Today, our definition has grown: the communities we impact ripples far beyond our destinations. To us, it includes our employees, supplier and agent partners, small business owners, customers, social followers, and travellers just like you. There's incredible power in being part of something bigger than yourself. Want in?
Enjoy More Flexibility Than A Yoga Class
Adventure is all about having the freedom to follow your curiosity and discovering the unknown. No matter the Travel Style, our tours balance well-planned itineraries with the flexibility to do your own thing and explore a bit on your own. From optional activities to free time, you can choose an adventure that will feel truly like your own.
Whoa, that’s a lot of tours.
We have tons of tours. No, really. Tours for you, your family, your friends, your buddy from work who really likes nature documentaries. First trip ever and want to see all the highlights? Got that. Heading to your seventh continent and want to be treated like the experienced wanderer you are? Got that too. Our 10 unique Travel Styles group tours together into themes based on what you like or how you want to travel.
Personalise your tour.
Squeeze every last drop of adventure out of your tour by customizing it to your liking. Add on amazing optional activities throughout your tour like hikes, local cooking classes, or helicopter rides depending on where you’re headed. Want extra time for exploring? Book pre- or post-trip accommodations before or after your tour. Or let us give you a one-day-or-less introduction to your destination on one of our separate Day Tours.
Get your share of free time.
If you want to do some solo exploring or maybe just need a nap (it happens to the best of us), our itineraries feature built-in free time to let you do your thing.
G is for Good
When you travel with us, you see our commitment to making travel a force for good is more than just words on our website — it’s in everything we do. G for Good stands for all of the social, environmental and ethical good we create as a business which helps to fuel Community Tourism. Our efforts to preserve and conserve our world fall under two approaches: Acting Responsibly, which is our commitment to improve the sustainability of our own operations, and Creating Positive Impact, which focuses on leaving the right impact in the places we visit.
