This group adventure is the perfect way to sample canoe tripping, without camping overnight. There is challenging paddling (8-16km), tranquil drifting, portaging (600m), hiking (1.5km), cliff jumping (if you want), swimming, a scenic lookout, historic landmarks, wild edibles (in season), spectacular landscapes and wildlife observation (usually birds, butterflies, turtles & small mammals; periodic moose & larger mammals).
Our canoes are all custom made 4 seaters, convenient for families and making new friends. These lightweight kevlar boats are easy to carry (solo or tandem) over the short portage.
Lunch is a fabulous sandwich from Henrietta's Pine Bakery. We also serve a granola bar snack. Participants must bring at least 2L of water.
Our naturalist guides have only the highest levels of training and certification. They ensure a safe, educational and intimate connection to Algonquin Park. We provide high quality trip photos (via Facebook only).

4.00Immersed completely in nature the guide will take you to visit some very beautiful and heavenly spots. The sandwich for lunch was delicious. When you went in search of the Elk and 'was something really unique .. paradise. Too bad we spent only 5 minutes and could not see them. Frankly, I would have preferred to spend more time there hoping to see them. It 's still a complete experience, you paddle (lots), walk, dive, swim... spectacular
Highly recommended!!!!
