Planning a Canadian wilderness hike this summer? A boutique wilderness travel company specializing in small group guided trips to remote regions might be your unique ticket.
Planning and executing a Canadian wilderness hike in the backcountry of the Pacific Northwest requires skill and knowledge. More so if you want to enjoy adventure but avoid roughing it in a tent or lugging a heavy pack.
But watch out! A novice might just find they’ve signed up for a wild tourist trek instead of a trek into the wilds. Your once-in-a-lifetime wilderness adventure might completely miss all the sweet spots. How do you find the secret place and unique activities you dream about? These six easy steps will help you have the adventure of your dreams.
1 Does the Canadian Wilderness Hike Company have Strong Local Guiding Knowledge?
These remote locations are protected territory for daring localized explorers. These are the small, boutique-style guides — such as Yoho Adventures team. They have not only dared to journey out to remote territories but also know the nearest local people and species.
For hiking enthusiasts, a back-country hike is an excellent way to gain advanced hiking skill sets. A back-country Canadian wilderness hike also gives balanced comfort, gourmet outdoor dining and customized challenge matched to your fitness level. It is more rewarding and less crowded with tourists. A boutique-style guided hike is the most unique and memorable alternative journey.

3. Are your Canadian Wilderness Guides also Guided by Strong Core Values?
Of major importance on this Canadian wilderness hike is staying aligned with the core values of Yoho Adventures and allowing people to uniquely experience the pristine wilderness areas of our earth that seldom so few humans have ever seen or will see in a lifetime.
“We are passionate about bringing people to places that no one has hiked before,” Cristina said. “It is impossible for anyone to respect and honor the earth if they don’t ever experience her natural beauty. When you walk away from a trip with Yoho Adventures, you are not the same person. Due to your experience, your perspective of the earth is forever changed. You cannot think the same about waste or recycling. Your view of plants and animals is different. You respect the purity of water and air. I wish we could let every citizen on earth see it once but then it would not be untouched, would it? Bringing even a few people into the wilds allows us to create ambassadors, and that is a step in the right direction.”
4. Are you Canadian Wilderness Hike Guides Willing to Go Off the Beaten Path?
The Yoho team is passionate about creating adventure trips that explore the real deal. Your Canadian wilderness hike with Yoho is far removed from mainstream BC hiking tours offered by most mainstream companies. When you travel with Yoho, there are no lookalike routes between popular destinations in Western Canada.
“We believe in offering the best-guided hiking trips Canada has by creating unique itineraries. These explore remote reaches of the Central Coast Mountains and Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia,” said Ben. “This is an area that is often never viewed because its location is outside the busy routes of the lower mainland and the Canadian Rockies. This is a hidden outdoor paradise for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. Honestly, do you feel like waiting in lines and pushing through crowds of people when on holiday? We sure don’t. Why do that when there’s an endless expanse of wilderness waiting to be explored with your guides?”
Accessing this breathtaking uncrowded wilderness means taking a ride on some ultra Canadian travel vessels such as the De Havilland Beaver float planes that whisk you into this world of remote, inspiring natural beauty. From this vantage point, you experience views of the best Canadian backcountry and its spectacular terrain.

6. Other Adventure Opportunities Available During your Canadian Wilderness Hike
