STUDENT TOUR EXPERIENCES

Encounter Niagara provides Guides and Staff who can create and execute a student-friendly tour experience.  We’re not simply a “Tour Guide with a Student Group”.  Encounter Niagara delivers our Tours in a way that maximizes the outdoor experience and the activities.  Our focus is “hands on”, encouraging interaction, and responding to questions enthusiastically.  Our team aims to spark curiosity and excitement.

Any Tour Itinerary can be delivered for students, with added focus on curricular relevance and age-specific activities.  We can also build in Teambuilding and Group Challenge activities upon request.

Ask about our home school trips, where we can plan low-cost experiences that embrace the unique nature of home school learning. Let us help you plan a trip suited to your travel, age and educational needs.
