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.

Uncomfortable weather, cool and windy but the guide provided much information about trees and wildlife as well as local history.

We booked a canoe for a 4 hour experience and enjoyed a picnic on the way. It was amazing and so much fun! All the members of the staff were awesome and so passionate about the great outdoors. Can’t wait to go again!

Super fun, beautiful and interesting canoe trip. We are inexperienced canoeists but our guide had an angelic patience with us and could tell nicely about the area.

This 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.

We did the two hour tour with Caroline and we really loved it. Her knowledge of the area was very good, we saw a lot of turtles and simply had great two hours. We would always do it again.

It was a great adventure. I was a bit scared before using a kajak, but soon this became the best experience ever. Could have done it for a whole day, but unfortunately we only had two hours. Better make a reservation before!

Absolutely fantastic day spent with the Whynot team on the river and lake. Great equipment and local knowledge. Our 18&17 year olds had so much fun and it was great to do something all together. We couldn't recommend more highly. Thanks Team Whynot! Caroline Nigel Amber and Dylan from York, England
