He was a really great trip. We were three children (11, 14, 16) and two adults and had a lot of fun. It was an incredibly great group and Baz was super relaxed and explained the most important things and cooked tasty food. They were unbelievably beautiful days where you could enjoy nature. It's great that you don't have to worry about the food or the tents. We would book this tour again.

Great camping trip with nice guide, Baz. Obviously no guarantee that you will see bears or elk, but there is plenty of other nature to enjoy.

You will be pooping in a wooden box with zero privacy ( no walls- this is many many steps below an outhouse. ) when it rains you are pooping on a wet wooden box as the puddles stream through your toes. You will be sleeping on a cot that is made of aluminum and is about 20 inches wide so the sides dig into your arms all night. You may only choose to sleep on your back- there is no other possible position. No foam pad, no air mattress. No sleeping bag insert. The two adult women both had to sleep on the forest floor due to the cots being so uncomfortable. Did I mention the tree roots are massive and stick up out of the floor? I personally got 1 hr sleep the first night about 5 the second night and 3 the third night. Our guide, Baz, made several comments that made my 11 year old daughter feel very uncomfortable. Talking about “ popping a boner” is not appropriate He also took many photos of my daughters in their swimsuits. ( never the adults..) He also liked to talk about himself a lot and intruded on our family time at the evening bonfire. There was no astronomy lesson, no native sauna and scrubbing salts, no informative talks on turtles, moose, beaver or bear…. We, the guests, did all of the dinner cooking and in our free time the men were asked to rebuild his kitchen tarp and supports which they did for about 90 minutes, while he talked about himself. After meals he dumped all the food into the lake- never asking if people were done. Much of the food could’ve been saved for snacking ( little pancakes, sausages, fruit). There was nowhere for 9 guests to sit and eat when it rained… ( there is no shelter other than his kitchen)there is no table anywhere to eat, play cards or do anything. This trip would be 1000x better with a different guide , some foam pads to sleep on and 4 walls around the toilet. I have camped my whole life, and this was below any standard I’ve ever encountered. Some tips for your party-bring instant coffee so you don’t have to drink sludge, tinfoil, so you can cook on the open fire without loosing all the veggies you’ve sliced up to the grate and flames (and so not everything has char on it…)and a sharp knife because he doesn’t have one. Oh and don’t forget hand sanitizer. Yuk! We were lucky to see a lovely bull moose eating- but no thanks to our guide… he wasn’t even with us! The jumping rock and paddling were very nice and spending time with family was fantastic. For this type of $$$ the poor quality of your bed, the guide, and the lack of dry sitting area are absolutely ridiculous. I would look elsewhere or rent canoes and go by yourself.

We absolutely loved our recent canoe/camping trip with Baz. He was such an amazing host. Really knowledgeable, interesting and a very caring person, who also cooked incredibly tasty meals with minimal equipment. We loved the canoeing and obviously the scenery but also the times we spent with the other members of the group and Baz chatting, preparing food, cutting wood and making fires. Baz even made a sauna in a tent one afternoon which was very unexpected and inventive. We didn't see and Moose or beavers but it really didn't spoil the experience.
