When you arrive in Montreal, you’ll meet your transfer and journey to Duhamel. Here you’ll find your welcoming log cabin accommodations in beautiful Outaouais. Enjoy dinner at the lodge and explore your wild new surroundings!
Start your day with an exhilarating snowmobile ride through the snowy wilderness. You’ll get a taste of this popular Canadian pastime on a half-day ride around Duhamel.
Spend the afternoon enjoying any of the complementary activities at the lodge or relax and watch the snow fall with a hot beverage.
Today your travels through the Duhamel woods will be very different than yesterday’s! The sled dog guide will introduce you to the team of adorable dogs who will be powering today’s adventure. After an introductory lesson, you’ll climb aboard a dog sled and let your team pull you across the trails.
You’ll have time to get outside this morning or visit the nearby spa before you’ll take your transfer to Montreal. Enjoy a walk through the charming snow-covered streets of Old Montreal and have dinner in one of the many fantastic local restaurants.
This morning you’ll pack your winter clothes away and get ready to say goodbye to the snow. A private transfer will bring you to the airport so you can catch your flight to Miami. The warm Florida air will greet you in Miami, and when you land you can pick up your rental car and head to your Miami Beach hotel.
During your stay in Miami, your itinerary is completely flexible, and you have full use of your rental car to explore this lively destination. Visit downtown to discover the unique Miami architecture, food, and culture. Or, find a spot on the beach and plunk yourself down for some rays. If you’re feeling adventurous, snorkelling and scuba diving are available.
If you spend yesterday sightseeing, today would be a great day to spend on the beach. Take advantage of the miles of magnificent beach and for a stroll or just bask in the sun. When you’re taking a refreshing dip in the ocean it will be hard to imagine that it was only a few days ago that you were dog sledding through the snow!
After a few days at the lively Miami beaches, it’s time for a change of pace! Drop your car rental off at the airport and take your flight to Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas. You have the next four days to enjoy the Bahamian sunshine from your beachfront hotel.
This morning you’ll wake up and find yourself on an island paradise. The Bahamas are well known for turquoise water and white sandy beaches that are all yours to explore. Relax in the sun or take advantage of any of the hotel’s activities.
The Abaco Islands are known as the boating capital of the Bahamas. Book a boat excursion to discover all the secret coves and secluded beaches that are only accessible by water. You can also take it easy and watch the waves lap at the beach while you enjoy a cold drink from your lounge chair!
The crystal waters of the islands are perfect for snorkelling and diving if you’re in the mood for an underwater adventure. Visit one of the many local restaurants for a fresh seafood dinner, and make sure to try the Bahamian specialty of conch salad!
Today your tour ends and it’s time to return to the airport to catch your flight home. Bon voyage!
