On this tour you'll explore the Mersey River (one of the most beautiful places in the park to paddle, in my opinion).
Rendezvous at the Whynot Adventure HQ (Jake's Landing) 15 min before the tour is set to start. We have a large parking lot situated just before you arrive at our location on the river. We recommend bringing a camera as this tour is full of wildlife photography options (I know you're thinking moose and bears, but in Keji we specialize in turtles, giant bullfrogs, muskrat, beavers and white-tailed deer, oh and sometimes a swimming squirrel).
On this guided tour you might learn about 'Keji tea' or hear the legend of Jim Charles' Gold, while paddling your canoe or kayak up the river with intermittent stops to take in the magic and learn about some of Keji's secrets. This tour is an 'out n'back' so you'll get to enjoy the gentle current on the way back to Jake's Landing.

5.00The Mersey River guided paddling tour was exactly the experience my soul was calling for. It fulfilled a desire I have carried my whole life — to be out on the water, immersed in nature, experiencing its beauty and peace firsthand. Carlene created the perfect environment for a first-time paddler. She was confident in my ability from the very beginning, which gave me confidence in myself. She encouraged and guided without hovering — like a mother bird gently allowing space to learn and grow, while always being available whenever I had a question. Paddling upstream on a windy day at the beginning of the adventure turned out to be the perfect training ground. I learned how to work with the wind and keep my kayak aligned. By the time we turned back and flowed with the current, it felt easy and natural. When heading back Carlene noticed I was gradually pulling ahead of the group and simply allowed it. Later she mentioned she could tell I wanted some quiet time alone on the water. That understanding meant a great deal to me. This experience not only nourished my spirit, it also gave me the confidence to take the kayak out on my own during my stay at a local cottage. I will carry this experience home with me in my heart.
Fantastic experience

5.00We had an incredible experience with Whynot Adventure at Keji. We arrived with 20 adults and no reservation: we were met with lovely and professional staff who made the whole booking seamless and quick. Their whole team was helpful and efficient and all the boats/gear worked perfectly. Couldn’t have gone better!

5.00This was a brilliant experience and a special thanks to Amanda who was a superb guide. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the turtles and Jake the beavers home, although he was elusive on our trip! Fabulous experience, highly recommended.
