About
Based out of Whitehorse and run by two french people whom graduated with a conservation biology degree, Terre Boreale offers canoe trips, hiking trips and discovery tours in Yukon and Alaska in both French and English. Besides discovering the breath taking landscapes and colours of the North, our background allows us to provide an experience as close to the wilderness as possible through its observation, understanding and preservation. Because we want all our customers to have a unique experience we limit our group size to 6 customers per trip. This group size also allows us to travel the wilderness with high chances of viewing wildlife without disturbing it. Every one has different travel expectations, therefore Terre Boreale offers customized trips in Yukon and Alaska in all seasons.

Donjek Route in the beautiful Kluane National Park
Jul. 2022
Wow. My first time to the Yukon did not disappoint. The nature and scenery were everything I could have hoped for. The Donjek Route was probably the most difficult thing I have ever done, so much more difficult that I could have anticipated! The soft off trail terrain was even more difficult for me than big inclines. Our guides Dan and Ed were fantastic and kept me motivated and feeling safe along the way. The food was also excellent and we had a great variety of backpacking meals and snacks. Having a hot lunch every day was often appreciated, especially on a rainy day. We didn't see as much wildlife as I had hoped, but seeing a few caribou pretty close was wonderful. Max was very helpful during the booking process and lead up to the trip, and was a great host!

Breathtaking
Aug. 2022
I was apprehensive about this vacation. I had never done any off-trail trekking, and my camping experience was limited. I trained as much as possible to be in shape for the trip, and I followed the clear recommendations Terre Boréale made for the equipment. This paid off. It was by no means easy, but I enjoy challenging physical work, and I was able to push myself comfortably in gear that was well selected for the challenge; no blisters, back aches or sprains. Any anxiety I had related to the uncertainties and fears that are normal on this type of voyage were easily alleviated by our guides. Édouard and Marc were experienced, and very generous in sharing their knowledge. They were calm, confident, and gave clear instructions whenever we needed them. Their attention to detail and professionalism underlined how important the client experience is to Terre Boréale. They were also charming and funny so that when I wasn’t focused on where to take my next step, I had a lot of fun. The food was better than I expected (and I had heard great things about it), and it was plentiful. Finally, there are no words or photographs to do justice the beauty, the ruggedness, or the vastness of the territory. The only way to experience this is to go.

Ogilvie Mountains traverse
Aug. 2022
I did the Ogilvie Mountains traverse with Terre Boreale. The trip was outstanding ( although I would not recommend it to beginner hikers, as it does require some mental and physical toughness), the organization was perfect and the guides (Ed and Dan) could not have been better. There was a profound sense of love and respect for the environment The food provided was outstanding, all dehydrated, provided in home made sacks - so no plastic was used. This definitely rates amongst some of the best backpacks I have ever done ( and I have done many, in several parts of the world...). Thank you, Max and Milena, for maintaining such high standards, to Dan an Ed for an outstanding 8 days and to Marc-Andre for smooth and safe driving!

Dempster and Kluane
Jun. 2022 • Couples
Max organized a great two week self-guided car trip for my wife and I up the Dempster Highway to Tuktoyaktuk including visits to Whitehorse, Tombstone Territorial Park, Inuvik, Dawson City and Kluane National Park. We thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent scenery and nature of the Yukon and NWT.
Our plane trip to the Mt. Logan ice field and our stay at Kluane Cabins was very special and our hosts were very accommodating.
We did a combination of camping,cabins and hotels and Max did a great job organizing this for us and providing the camping gear.
Thank you very much Max. This trip exceeded our expectations and we hope to be back some day.

An adventure pure
Aug. 2022
An absolute top service from booking to the end. A friend and I experienced an truly friendly and professional trip from Lake Laberge to Dawson. Great quality equipment, wonderful meals, great discussions at the camp fire. Very good explanations about nature and the environment. It was a great challenge and sometimes competitive.
With Max and Marc top guides. The very best you can get.

Wonderful experience.
Jul. 2022
I really enjoyed my trip in Kluane with Terre Boreale. The communication with Max and Melina was excellent. They were very thoughtful and accommodating in their responses. The shuttle pickup from the airport was convenient. The guides were absolutely fantastic and helpful. They worked hard to ensure all participants were enjoying themselves. The trip its-self was spectacular. It was the right amount of challenging for someone with off-trail hiking experience. The routes provided a daily enjoyable adventure. We were well taken care of, and the home-made dehydrated food by Terre Boreale was very helpful in restoring our energy. I also had daily coffee! This is the best experience I have had in terms of an organized hiking adventure. I highly recommend this company to those who enjoy off-trail hiking and value spectacular nature.

Coastal Mountains
Jun. 2022
This was an incredible hiking trip! A few challenging days carrying gear from campsite to campsite combined with easier days hiking around the beautiful scenery of the Yukon. We saw lots of wildlife, had great guides, and enjoy delicious meals. I appreciated all the effort that went into the pre trip planning and communication to ensure I was prepared and ready to enjoy the trip. Would highly recommend this trip or another Yukon adventure with Terre Boreale!

Max and Milena, with their outstanding knowledge, professionalism, and customer service helped my partner and myself to fulfill our dream to drive from Whitehorse to Tuktoyaktuk!

Beyond the Arctic Circle
Mar. 2022 • Couples
Awesome trip with Max up the Dempster Highway, past the Arctic Circle to the border with NWT. Beautiful scenery and different moods with the weather and the time of day and the changing light. The Arctic tundra and the Ogilvie Mountains were spectacular. The huge trucks every now and then provided an unexpected added interest.

Max was a great guide - very easy to be with, very knowledgeable and ultra accommodating to requests for photo stops (day and night). Always on the lookout for wildlife .... try as we might we didn't see any moose but we did happen to see some birdlife, elk, red fox and a lynx! The Northern Lights weren't on show but seeing the mountains in the full moonlight at midnight was a bonus. The winter clothing which was provided kept us nice and warm at sub zero temperatures - minus 27' was a new experience for us coming from New Zealand!

Would totally recommend this trip with Terre Borreale. Thanks Max.

Northern Lights at the Arctic Circle
Feb. 2022
My husband and I joined Max on an unforgettable journey up the Dempster highway to the arctic circle. Terre Boreal blew us away with their passion for the night sky and high degree of competence every step of the way. I'd highly recommend booking with them!
