Lake Fever tours turn Ontario into your very own playground for camping, hiking, swimming, and paddling fun. Stand tall at the edge of the world, ride the rapids in an inner tube, cycle a historic former railway line, or discover sunken shipwrecks aboard a glass bottom boat - the choice is yours to make.

At Lake Fever, we thrive on planning all-inclusive, “full-service” overnight nature experiences for our guests, meaning stress-free, fun adventures where no guest preparation is needed (no equipment, not even a sleeping bag/pad) and no additional charges. Just pack a bag and go! Budget travelers can enjoy free transportation from Toronto, camp-cooked meals, and good old fashioned campfires - all while the first-timers in the group learn the basics of camping.

Rest easy in the hands of your Toronto camping experts, and cross the great Canadian road trip off your bucket list. Who knows, it may be your once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Reviews:

“Without a doubt, this is one of the best tours we have ever been on here. Damian is a wonderful person and the best guide you can get.”

-Bharath Venkatesh, India

“Couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. Damian became like a friend, yet held the authority to keep us all in check and get us on the road each day. His itinerary worked seamlessly, and you could tell he'd really put thought into each thing. Would happily book any tour he was due to lead again! “
