    Trip of a lifetime! Me and my girlfriend went on the 'Big one' trip with Jared in June 2018. We're a couple from England that had just arrived in Canada to start our 2 year working holiday visa so we wanted to get exploring straight away. I am so glad that we picked the Big One and I probably would have gone longer if there was the option. Having Out Here arrange all of the transportation and accommodation made the trip so much less stressful than planning and driving ourselves, meaning we could focus on exploring and enjoying ourselves! Jared has a good itinerary built out for the trip, but was also flexible depending on the group's mood, and when you're in the city you can go out and explore at your own pace if you needed to! I'd highly recommend doing all of the extra activities as they were all so awesome! White water rafting, canyoning and Via Ferrata was my top 3. Don't worry about the long bus rides, you'll probably be asleep anyway. (Bring a travel pillow). Overall we met an amazing group of people on this trip (including Jared), had a unforgettable time and would highly recommend! 10/10

    Eastern Canada has so much to offer and the Big One trip is the perfect way to explore it. Janelle, our tour leader, was fantastic and went out of her way to ensure we all had the best experience possible. Even though it’s an organised tour it was flexible and tailored to our group. For example, Janelle would give us options for our stop-offs and activities; something our group really appreciated. There’s something for everyone too, so don’t be put off if you’re not into thrill seeking activities such as via Ferrata and Rafting... they definitely weren’t my cup of tea but the endless sunsets, beautiful hikes, amazing food and stunning wildlife more than made up for that! I liked travelling in a small group too as you quickly get to know one another and there was plenty of bus banter (and singalongs). Communication from Jared before, during and after the tour was excellent. You can tell that a lot of planning has gone into each of the routes and that the company are keen to ensure you get the most from your trip. Jared is always open to feedback and suggestions too. If you’re not sure whether to book an Out Here Tour my advice would be do it, you won’t regret it! Small group tours like this are rare in the East, so it felt very exciting to be part of something that’s so new.

    I have been living and working in Canada on an IEC and it was the end of my work visa and I wanted to see as much of this beautiful country as I could. I considered driving there from BC but decided it was a bit far for me on my own, I thought about flying over and taking the train or hiring a car but looked at the expenses of it and it was just going to cost so much without factoring in anything to do. I had also looked at East Coast trips and couldn't find anything that was just doing Canada while giving a good opportunity to really see everything besides the major cities. I stumbled across Out Here travel through a third party agent and had a look at the website and thought it suited me for exactly what I was after. Small group travel Stress free Going to off the beaten path places of Eastern Canada Affordable Great reviews Unique experiences I would absolutely recommend Out Here travel for anyone wanting to travel the East Coast of Canada as it was easy, Canada is enormous so there is always so much more driving than you think there is going to be. Because someone else is driving for you which means you can nap, catch up with emails or facebook, watch movies or listen to the music of the area as provided by Jared. The trip that I did was The Big One and it was great to be able to see so much of Eastern Canada in one trip. My favourite place that we visited was probably Tadoussac, we had an amazing whale watching experience and trekked some sand dunes and it was just an adorable, relaxing town. The hostel we stayed in had communal dinners and some fun outdoor team building type activities so it was chilled out and relaxed. The bucket list item for me was seeing Hopewell rocks in New Brunswick with the 14m tides and loved Quebec city. Heading out in Fall (September trip) was a great time to go to avoid a lot of the crowds and to see some of the amazing fall foliage with its array of colours. I can absolutely recommend this trip as it is easy, stress free, a good balance of time with new friends and time alone, unique experiences and accommodations (including a jail!) great value for money and quick responses (I booked 2 weeks before departing)

    I took part in The Big One, a 26 day adventure going from Toronto, all the way up the coast to Cape Breton and back again. Although this was my first "tour bus" trip as soon as it started I knew it wasn't going to be a boring touristy trip. During the day, we'd be on the road to the next activity such as hiking, white water rafting, via feratta (climbing the side of a waterfall), sea kayaking, and we even got to give surfing a go which wasn't an original plan on the trip. The accomodation was also real cool, from a rustic lodge for the whole group to a jail hostel in downtown Ottawa, there was a lot of variety and new experiences. When we first got on the bus, although it was early in the morning Jared aka Jazza our driver/guide/friend was already full of energy getting us hyped up for the first stop in Algonquin Park. As the trip went on he definitely seemed to become more our friend than our tour guide, but still kept his professionalism when it was needed. If you're an outdoorsy person and like the idea of going with the flow I highly recommend booking a trip!

    Highly recommend anyone wanting to check out the east coast of Canada to jump on The Big One tour with Out Here Travel. What a whirlwind month it was! Huge thanks to our tour guide and friend Jared for going out of his way to make the trip once in a lifetime. There are so many things I would've missed out on if I attempted to do this trip on my own, including lots of awesome hikes that Jared encouraged me to do and I was so glad that I did. Jared went out of his way to show us little gems that I wouldn't have ever known about; from hidden mines to swim in, to cute little bars in the city with an artist who would play whatever you wanted on request. It's hard to single out my favorite part of the tour but a few highlights would be; sunsets in Algonquin park and Cape Breton, rafting the Ottawa river, and the whale watching in Tadoussac will be an experience I'll never forget. This tour had the perfect mix of exploring cities, quaint little country towns and amazing national parks. Shout out to the people on this trip that made it what it was; a month full of adventures, laughs and a bloody good time!

    What a great tour! Loved it, a rare and good mix of hiking and cities! If you are like me and love to hike/be outdoors more than the cities, Jared and his tour guides are always open to changing it up to suit. I would recommend doing the actives on offer, you don't want to miss out of the fun to be had!! Such a great group of people too! But be warned the bus music is not to every ones taste!! Cheer Jared!

    I was so glad I choose the Big One Trip (26 days) as it was the perfect way to see the East Coast of Canada in a small group tour. There is a perfect blend of sightseeing, hiking, camping and activities arranged on this trip. The guys did a fantastic job on picking all the locations that you get to go. I particularly enjoyed doing the Via Ferrata and all the amazing hostels that were chosen. I would highly recommend Out There Travel and this amazing adventure that the have put in place.

    An unforgettable and authentic Canadian experience! My trip with Out Here was a really fantastic one. The tour guide - Jared - has everything necessary already arranged before you even start going on the trip. He definitely knows what he is doing and always tries to make this trip an unforgettable experience for everyone. The itinerary of the Big One is really well put together and offers a great mix between vibrant cities like Ottawa, Quebec City and Montreal, and far flung destinations like the Algonquin Provincial Park. So no matter if you're looking more for a adventurous or cultural experience, you'll definitely get both. Despite the pre-arranged schedule you'll have enough time to explore each place by your own if you want. Jared offers great flexibility on the trip and always has good recommondations for what to do in the place you're currently staying at, e.g. White Water Rafting on the Ottawa River, Whale-watching in Tadoussac or Via Ferrata at Canyon Sainte-Anne. As Jared is cooperating with local business you're able to experience some of these activities at a reduced price. One of the great advantages of Jared's trip is that you don't have to worry about how to get from one place to another. Jared owns a spacious bus with enough room for yourself and your fellow travelers. On the road there will be enough breaks for you to go to the bathroom or filling up on some snacks. The accommodations along the trip are well picked by Jared. All of them have been very clean and tidy. At many places you're able to do the laundry if you need to. Since most of the hostels offer special discounts (e.g. reduced private room/dorm rates) if you're a HI Member, I highly recommend getting a membership right at the beginning of the trip. All in all I highly recommend joining Out Here for a trip along Canada. In my opinion there is no better way to explore this wonderful country!

    A wonderful journey! I hardly recommend the Big One Trip! 26 days of : - breathtaking landscapes, - outdoor activities (hiking, rafting, kayaking, canoeing, stargazing, surfing in the atlantic, whale watching, ...), - really nice accomodations (lodge in the forest, yourte on Saint-Laurent shore, well-located hostels in cities center, ...), - flexible activities depending on the group daily mood, - culinary experiences (Lobster, Oysters, Mossels, Poutine, Montreal Smoked Meat, etc), - international group of people with the same interests, - a dynamic and carefull guide, - a comfy and pleasant tour bus. Special mention for the great ottawa river rafting day and the incredible landscape of Cap Breton Highlands (where the mountains meet the ocean). If you're looking for a great discovery of canadian East Coast, a perfect mix between outdoor activities and cities wandering/pubcrawling, an unforgettable group adventure, visit of unique not well known places, ... don't hesitate for one second more.. This trip is made for you!

    Where do I even start? This trip is completely unique in every way, from the people you meet to the locations you get to see! It is built by Jared or Chief Adventurer, who makes it personal, authentic and adventurous in every way. He never fails to do his best to tailor to everyones needs and really puts his heart and soul into everything we do. He will get you completely immersed into the culture by getting you to listen to the music, eating the food, watching local movies while driving on the bus and will give you all sorts of incredibly cool facts about each location! Another special aspect to this trip is that it is very personal to Jared as it is locations he loves and visited regularly throughout his life, so you get to experience more off the beaten track locations with far less tourists! You get an excellent combination of city and outdoors so it's perfect for both demographics and for those who are wanting to try and explore their interests. You get an great combination of camping, hostels and yurts. When you get to stay with everyone in the group that is especially lovely because you're like one big family! My favourite part of the trip was Tadoussac becuase of the Kayaking and whales! That was especially exciting because we got to see Beluga, Porpoise and Minke. The place you stayed in was also a lot of fun. A quirky area that has a great vibe although I'd steer clear of the Tabasco shots!! Another place that was pretty exciting was Sea Shack! This is where we got to see plenty Gannets aka Sea Pigeons (in joke with the group) were diving in the masses. This also attracted Minke and we could eat dinner while watching the whales and gannets do their thing. It was such an incredible experience. This place also had an excellent vibe with live bands every evening and an awesome beach with plenty rock pools. It is the perfect mix of nature and a great night out. Last but not least, the people. The people you meet really make the trip and for me the group that I was with were everything. So lovely, open minded and a freaking blast to be around! I will never stop laughing at all the in jokes and moments we shared. We were one big family almost immediately and our time on the adventure bus, on hikes, at bars, at brunch hungover, at the beach, at anywhere at all will always be cherished and definitely not taken for granted. This is a superb trip and I would highly recommend you to do the big one. It is out of this world good! Thank you Jared and the group!! GOD DAMN THEM ALL!!

    I heartily recommend anyone considering the Big One tour with Out Here to anyone considering exploring Eastern Canada. It’s 26 days of amazing scenery, great activities and idyllic locations. It really is not an experience you could recreate by yourself. The tour has something for everyone, we visited cities like Montreal, Halifax & Quebec City. But the real joy of the trip is in the great outdoors in places like Algonquin Park, Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island. It’s really a tour for adventurous 18-39 age group and we had an excellent group of people from all over the world, led by our ever cheerful and knowledgeable tour guide Jared. We had some brilliant experiences together and made some great friendships. There is plenty to see and do with kayaking, rafting, whale watching, outdoor climbing all on offer and must do’s. I have so many great memories from this trip and I would 100% recommend.

    Travelling with Out Here was an amazing experience and I’m really glad I decided to do the Central/Maritimes 13/14 Days trip with them. Every day of the trip was filled with activities and you get a sense of Canada through experience, not just sight-seeing. White water rafting was the best – I don’t know how to swim but they were supportive enough to help me trust my life jacket and I made it to the end. Quebec City was just magical and I’d love to visit again during the Fall/Winter. Whale watching and kayaking were fun and the hikes were beautiful. All the activities are worth doing and they allow you to go at your own pace. I’m glad I did all of them! Our guide made sure we made stops to enjoy the scenery, even if we were on a tight schedule. Overall the experience was outstanding and especially for someone who is new to adventure tours, this company was a really good place to start with. Information about expenses and itinerary were provided early on and Jared was really good about responding to inquiries/concerns within a reasonable time. My guide, Janelle, was wonderful! She made sure we were informed about the places we were visiting, made sure we got there on time and was very accommodating for bathroom breaks when we were on the road. She also introduced Terrance which helped create a very unique sense of bonding. If you’re looking for an authentic Canadian experience of the Maritimes, definitely check them out!

    Wow, where do I even start…I can genuinely say that the three weeks I spent on my Out Here Tour were some of the funniest weeks of my life thus far! I was hesitant booking any tour at first, as I’m the type of person who generally likes to do their own thing at their own pace. However, as I continued researching Canada, I realised that all the things I wanted to see were very far away from each other, and some only really accessible by car, and I’m not old enough to hire one. So when Out Here popped up on my Instagram, I seriously started to consider a tour as a way to see everything I wanted to. From reading the itineraries and other reviews, I could sense that this tour was exactly what I wanted - flexible, geared towards younger people, and including the adventurous activities that I love. For starters, camping in Algonquin Park was an awesome way to bond with the rest of the group - we hiked, swam and canoed (including watching and laughing at the group that capsized) all in the first day. On the way to Ottawa came one of my favourite parts of the trip…white water rafting! We spent an amazing day on the Ottawa River - riding the rapids, swimming, jumping off rocks and then having lunch. By the end of the day my arms hurt from paddling but my stomach hurt from laughing so hard when people fell out of the raft. I had an awesome time in Quebec City, and really started to form bonds with the members of the group. Leaving the cities far behind and heading up to Tadoussac was awesome. The hostel we stayed was quirky but an absolutely awesome time and we saw an incredible amount of whales (up close!) whilst whale-watching. The place we stayed at in Bay of Fundy was homey and the town itself very quaint - had an awesome time sea-kayaking. Our guide Joe was really flexible when the guy in the coffee shop suggested a good swimming spot in the Fundy National Park, and we had a wonderful time swimming in a beautiful river before having fish and chips. The hikes and scenery in Cape Breton was one of my highlights - the hikes we did were some of my favourite. Joe was really good at explaining the different options available for different levels of experience and fitness, and ensured that everyone did what they were comfortable with. We visited this incredible swimming spot in an abandoned quarry that had been filled in - which was a welcome cool-off after a hike to a wonderful lookout. On my last day I was so sad to leave the amazing friends that I had made over my time in Canada - and I desperately wished that I had booked the Big One Tour! I could not recommend Out Here more…I am so glad I choose to explore Canada with them and so grateful for all the wonderful things I got to see and the people I got to meet. Thanks so much to Jared for his awesome organisational skills and to Joe for being a wonderful guide.
