Reviews of Thrive Tours (Travel Agency)

Brad & Amanda are an awesome team! We've been hiking, paddling and camping with them - they have great experience in the outdoors!

Our time with Amada and Brad on a Thrive hike was a wonderful experience. We spent about 2 hours hiking in beautiful Hiawatha Park, just a few minutes from Sault Ste. Marie. We learned a great deal about indigenous culture, ways and techniques, some of which we hope to apply on our own. Their song at the end of our hike, along with an explanation of the significance of the drum as connection between us all and the earth was also moving and a real treat! It was a pleasure meet Brad and Amanda and we wish them every success in the future.

Brad and Amanda were incredible tour guides - welcoming, inclusive and deeply interested in curating a personalized experience. My family and I loved getting to know the local history and learning about new customs. I couldn't recommend this activity more.

My experience with Thrive and Amanda were amazing! They came up to our reserve to take us on a canoeing/kayaking adventure which was incredible and fun, even though I had next to know experience Amanda made me feel super comfortable and confident out on the water! She is very knowledgeable and friendly! Thank you Thrive tours and I can't wait to partake again in the near future!

I would HIGHLY recommend Thrive Tours to anyone - visitors or locals! Even if you’re born and raised in Sault Ste Marie, ON and have land/water areas you visit on your own, I guarantee you will view it through new eyes after sharing an experience with Thrive - their knowledge and wisdom from an Indigenous perspective is invaluable. Right from the start, they made us feel very comfortable - from helping us newbie hikers to know what to wear and bring, to teaching us how to navigate the trails to give us more confidence to go out on our own. This was DEFINITELY the highlight of my 16 year old nephew’s first visit to Sault Ste Marie. He loved Brad and Amanda so much, he wanted to do more! 5 stars from him, too!

My girlfriend and I came to the Soo for a weekend. A friend had found Thrive on the web and a great rec that was. We opted for the hike around Whitefish Island and had the best experience with Amanda and Brad--especially since I had had an ankle injury some weeks prior. Amanda and Brad are thoughtful and knowledgeable and salt of the earth people who made a rainy day experience a fantastic memory. I cant wait to be back at the Soo to join them on more adventures beyond hiking, and trust me, so will you. Miigwetch!

Amazing evening paddling on St Mary’s River!! After years of living in this area, it took Amanda to motivate me to try this experience. A whole new perspective on Sault Ste Marie. Amanda and Brad were friendly, professional and supportive:)

Thrive Tours was great! Amanda was extremely diligent while we were preparing for our trip, and reliable and friendly during the drop-off and pick-up. Her passion for the area and outdoor adventure was evident throughout. She made sure our experience was smooth and positive. Thanks Amanda!
