ABOUT FREEWHEELING ADVENTURES

We are a small family business. Founded in 1987 by Cathy and Philip, with a garage, twelve new bikes, and a Volvo station wagon. This multigeneration family business is now directed by son and successor, Taran, alongside a team of enthusiastic and capable friends, and a wonderful cadre of well-informed, kind guides in season. Today, your experience is enriched by the knowledge and skills we have developed over 38 years of planning and travel. Our warehouse is stocked with high-quality bikes, hiking poles, passenger vans, and other excellent equipment, and we’re supported by a network of local guides all over the world, as well as advanced technology to carefully plan every detail of your active holiday.

Based in Nova Scotia, we work together in an atmosphere of fun and team spirit in a rural seaside setting. We care about the experience with which you have entrusted us; and when you join us for a week of active exploring, we encourage you to reconnect with your inner child as you leave behind the concerns of everyday life. Laughter and sharing are our intentions and rewards. We will show you good food, quiet routes, comfy sleeps, unobtrusive service, and genuine care. The trips proposed herein are blank canvases of organization upon which, with the help of our guides, partners, and friends, you can paint rich tapestries of colourful experience. As a partnership between your exploratory desires and our experience and capabilities, your holiday can unfold in the true spirit of adventure. Your joy is our joy; and that is our purpose. Please join us as soon as you have a chance.

Small Groups

Guided group size rarely exceeds 12, and guide to guest ratio is usually 1:6 or better, so that we can use small inns, while you get unparalleled service, more personality, more flexibility, and more fun. We like it that way too!

All Abilities

Travel your own distance at your own pace. You do not need to be super-fit. On guided trips, your support vehicle is available to help you make the most of each day’s route. On self-guided trips, you can plan to arrange daily pickups or transfers to adjust the route.

Care and Excellence

Choose us because of our experience and integrity; because our destinations and routes are profoundly beautiful; and because of our commitment to superlative knowledge and care. We also like to serve you healthy picnics with hand-ground, freshly-roasted coffee.

Guaranteed Departures

We do not cancel trips once we accept your reservation, so you can make plans with confidence. See the details on our terms and conditions page.
