Founded by Richard and Anita, Bancroft Offroad Tours is a passion project built on a love of the outdoors and the desire to make off-roading accessible, safe, and incredibly fun for everyone (check out their glowing Google reviews). Whether you’re a curious first-timer or a seasoned ATV or UTVer looking for new terrain, this outfit offers a turnkey experience that’s equal parts adventure and awesome, and takes the stress out of planning a great ride.


Why Bancroft Is Perfect for UTV Tours in Ontario
Dubbed the Mineral Capital of Canada, Bancroft is a picturesque town surrounded by dense forest, rolling granite hills, and gorgeous backcountry routes. With access to some of Ontario's top trails, Bancroft is the perfect backdrop for an off-road trip that keeps riders coming back.
Richard and Anita knew they had something special on their hands: a trail system with good terrain, natural beauty, a bit of history, and wildlife—they launched Bancroft Offroad Tours so they could share their corner of paradise and love of off-roading with the rest of us.
Beginner-Friendly UTV Adventures in Ontario
What makes Bancroft Offroad Tours especially appealing is how accessible it is. No need to bring your own machine, trailer it in, or worry about knowing the trails. Everything’s handled, from safety gear to trail navigation. You just show up and ride.
For newcomers to the off-road world, this is a fantastic entry point. You'll get a taste of adventure without the learning curve (or the mud-splattered uncertainty of a solo attempt). It’s off-roading without the guesswork, just the good stuff.
Bancroft Offroad Tours Has UTV Tour Packages for Every Kind of Rider
Whether you're looking for a quick tour of the trail or a deeper dive into the backcountry, Bancroft Offroad Tours offers flexible tour packages to suit. Their 2-hour tour is perfect for first-timers, families with kids, or those short on time, and it’s a great intro to off-roading.

All packages include a guide, trail pass, helmets, goggles, fuel, and safety briefing—just bring your sense of adventure.
