What people are saying about Ontario

We really liked this trip and it was well guided by our guides Mike and Bryan! The canyon trip was cool, even if to our feeling 2 h are a bit too long and 1,5 h would be perfect. One the small hikes we an incredible view. It would be nice to have more time on the hike, maybe possible with a shorter canyoning. Thank you for this experience!

We had a great time going to the park, unfortunately we didn’t see any animals but it wasn’t the time of the year to see them. It was quite a exhausting walk but it was mainly because of the lots of snow we had walk through. Also our guide Mike was really nice, definitely recommend this tour.
