Absolutely! We specialize in tailored experiences. Private tours for individuals, families, or small groups can be arranged, offering more flexibility in itinerary and focus.

Please indicate your interest in a custom tour on our booking form or contact us directly to discuss your specific needs and pricing.
Optimal reptile viewing in Ontario typically runs from late spring (May) through early autumn (September). During these months, reptiles are most active, basking in the sun and foraging for food. Species activity varies throughout the season; for instance, turtle nesting often occurs in June, while snake sightings might be more frequent in warmer summer months. Our guides are experts at knowing the best times and locations for specific species, so we recommend booking in advance.
