Guides and Outfitters Insurance in Ontario

Backcountry business, front-country coverage.

Guiding takes paying clients into managed risk — water, wilderness, weather. Participant liability written for the actual activities, plus equipment and vehicles, is the working structure; Crown land permits often demand proof.

We insure guides and outfitters across activities, from paddling to hunting to backcountry touring.

What the package includes

Commercial general liability (CGL) for third-party injury and property damage
Participant liability rated per activity
Equipment coverage for boats, gear, and camps
Commercial auto for business vehicles
Event liability, including set-up and tear-down days
