We wanted to experience genuine wilderness, to have an adventure, a challenge and explore a tiny part of this vast area. We got all of that and much, much more. From our very first enquiry, Max and Milena couldn't have been more helpful and encouraging with clear information so we knew what we were getting into and understood that this really was a good match for what we wanted. On the hike, Max and Boris made sure we got to see some stunning landscapes, always on the look out for wildlife, and always making sure we were ok, balancing the speed at the front to those of us at the back, intent on simply enjoying being there. Whatever the weather ...and there was some !.... we felt in safe hands, hands that clearly wanted us to enjoy the experience and we most certainly did. Adventure, challenge, wilderness were delivered in bucketloads - thanks to excellent, thoughtful, supportive guides ...Max and Boris ...oh, and the food ..... fabulous ! Thank you.

For 6 days we visited the most amazing and beautiful landscapes in the Southern Yukon. We made day hikes with a group of hiking friends from the Vancouver area.
During these hikes, Max and Boris made sure we stayed safe and we did see what was around us in nature. We learned a lot and we marveled about the difference in nature between BC, which we know so well, and its neighbour the Yukon!
Max does not only know a lot about nature and the Yukon and loves to share this passion, but he is also an accomplished chef. Everyday, he surprised us with a different breakfast, lunch and dinner. All fresh and homemade. And homemade snacks on top of that!
The Terre Boreale policy of reducing waste is a very simple and a very effective one. We all received reusable bags to carry our snacks in and other reusable bags to carry our TP out. A policy which we will continue at home!
Max, Boris and Milena; thank you very much for an unforgettable experience!

Six day trek in the Yukon wilderness that surpassed all my expectations. You don't need to be a hero to do it - the guides are experts at getting ordinary mortals to do extraordinary things. Max is a remarkable guide, ably assisted by Boris. You do need to be reasonably fit and have decent gear; backpacking boots make a difference when you're hiking in the tundra. This trip ranks up there with my Annapurna trek more than 30 years ago. I cannot recommend this expedition outfit enough. I hope to do another trip with them next year!

We went to Whitehorse specifically to see the northern lights and chose the best company.
Max, owner of Terré Boreale was incredibly kind and patient during the 3 nights we hired him. He has a lot of experience to explain everything that happens in Whitehorse.
Max takes you to different places to find the best spot to see the northern lights, I think other companies don't do that, and if by chance you can't see them, he takes care that the night is not lost with incredible photos of the stars.
I recommend it 100%

Max’s tour of the Northern Lights was one of the best tours I’ve ever taken. Max:
-was flexible in scheduling when I had to switch days
-was thoughtful and considerate of my well-being the entire time, providing hot water bottles, blankets (you MUST still dress warmly or you will freeze, no joke), homemade cookies, tea, comfortable chairs
-knew of the best secluded spot to view the lights (a frozen lake!)
-took unbelievably amazing and beautiful photos of me in front of the lights and the moon
-even after a few hours, drove us to an additional spot to see if the lights would get brighter
-gave us an astronomy lesson and pointed out the constellations
i was so glad to not be packed into a tour bus of 50 people to some overcrowded place. If you want personalized, expert, attentive service, go with Max. He is passionate and caring and will give it his all to make it your best experience.
