Wilderness trekking & canoeing in the Yukon
Discover the Yukon as few do, through remote rivers, rugged mountain ranges, and untouched wilderness, all led by passionate, eco-conscious guides. Based in Whitehorse, we offer intimate hiking and canoeing adventures that emphasize connection, sustainability, and authenticity.
Founded in 2013, Terre Boréale is a family-owned company born from a deep love of the northern landscape. Our guided trips run with a maximum of eight guests, ensuring personal attention, genuine interaction, and minimal disturbance to the land.
What makes us unique:
Sustainable adventure: As a certified B Corp since June 2023, we uphold rigorous social and environmental standards, prioritizing low-impact travel, transparency, and meaningful community impact.
Zero‑waste ethos: From our fully reusable food packaging to dehydrated backpacks meals, waste reduction guides every part of our operations.
Gourmet wilderness cuisine: Even in the backcountry, expect more than trail snacks, think lasagna by the fire, risotto, and other carefully planned, locally inspired meals.
Expert local guides: Our guides combine rigorous wilderness training with a strong cultural and natural knowledge of the territory. They lead with heart, and a commitment to sharing the Yukon’s stories.
Deep respect for the land: We follow Leave No Trace principles, limit remote trip numbers, and actively support local ecological research.
Local impact & community engagement: We aim to buy more than 50% of core supplies locally, pay our staff above living wage, and contribute annually to conservation efforts like the Yellowstone-to-Yukon initiative.
Accessible expertise: Whether you're a seasoned trekker or a first-time paddler, we welcome adventurers of all levels — and we guide in both english and french.
