About Us - Horizon Actif

Our Journey Began in 2018

Horizon Actif was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to share Canada's extraordinary wilderness with adventure seekers from around the world. Founded by outdoor enthusiasts Marcus Tremblay and Sarah Chen in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, our company started with just two guides and a passion for authentic wilderness experiences.

What began as weekend hiking tours for small groups has evolved into a comprehensive adventure tourism company offering year-round outdoor experiences across some of Canada's most spectacular landscapes. From the rugged peaks of Alberta to the pristine lakes of British Columbia, we've guided thousands of adventurers on journeys that transform their connection with nature.

Today, Horizon Actif stands as a testament to what happens when passion meets purpose. We've maintained our commitment to small group experiences, sustainable tourism practices, and the highest safety standards while expanding our offerings to include specialized adventures for every skill level and interest.
