We’re proud of the strength, laughter, and lasting friendships our members find.
Their words are the best testament to what we do.
I sincerely thank ActiveAge for such a well-organized excursion. Everything was thoughtfully planned, the atmosphere was warm and easy, and the day was filled with discoveries, nature, and wonderful company. It was truly memorable!
A wonderful team, comfortable conditions, always something new and heartfelt! Thank you, ActiveAge, for your creativity, enthusiasm, care, and attention along the way! With you, we step away from the daily routine, make new friends, enjoy ourselves, and every time we look forward to the next trip with excitement! Warm greetings to all fellow travelers. See you soon!
I really enjoy everything — the organization, the places we visit, and most of all the company, which is always so warm and friendly. The pace is just right to take in all the beauty. The activities available with ActiveAge always surprises us — sometimes with museums, sometimes with coffee shops, and sometimes we wrap up by relaxing in a café with ice cream. ActiveAge, thank you so much for bringing me back into the forest, for helping me overcome my fear of bears and for helping me find new friends.
I can’t put into words the unforgettable impressions from our trips. The beauty of nature is still vivid before my eyes. You’ve opened so many new things for us, even though I’ve already seen plenty of Canada’s breathtaking beauty. It was truly a gift for both soul and body (I felt a surge of energy). Despite my busy schedule, I will definitely be joining you at least once a month. See you very soon!
