Overview
Available languages

Mobile ticket
This trip is best suited for folks who want longer hours of paddling and portaging, more solitude and remote campsites.
Escape to Kejimkujik’s real solitude— in the southern lakes! Some of the national park’s finest campsites are tucked away amongst these hinterland lakes, where it’s entirely common to not see another paddler for the entire canoe trip. Sandy beaches and warm summertime swimming will relax you while slow sunsets and June fireflies create the backdrop for lifelong memories.

5.00This was a tough but wonderful trip, the canoe was very stable so high winds and waves didn't lead to us capsizing. All the campsites back there feel very isolated and other than occasionally running into others on the lake or the portages you can't see or head anyone outside your party. We lost track of one of the shuttle blocks (still now sure how that happened) but they were quick to get back to us with cost for replacement

5.00Whynot Adventures is always a pleasure to deal with. They are organised, communicate very well and have solid equipment. They are also flexible when required. All in all, they are an extremely will run partner for your Kejimkujik adventures.

5.00Whynot Adventure has everything you need for a back country journey at Keji. They were very easy to communicate with and had everything ready for us to embark from the dock upon our arrival. Their location within the park is awesome! My only recommendation is that they invest in some ultra light canoes. I would happily pay a little extra for an ultra light canoe to take into the backcountry. That being said, the boat we rented was sturdy, capable, and still worthy of portaging. We will definitely rent from Whynot again in the future!

5.00Amazing weekend! Kejimkujik is my favorite place to be in Nova Scotia, first time doing the back country there and it didn't disappoint. We rented a canoe from Whynots, staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful and helped us make this trip happen. We are already wanting to plan another trip next year.
Great Rental Experience - led by a great team!

5.00This trip was amazing. We have 2 younger kids who loved learning to canoe, picked up some great skills from our excellent guide, Carlene. We saw lots of wildlife, enjoyed the serene peaceful lakes, ate wonderful food and went to bed listening to the cacophony of nightlife which was super special. The trip was great, our guide was great, I couldn’t be happier the the trip overall and would rate it as a “Must do” for any visiting Nova Scotia.
Why would you go anywhere else? Best canoe rental shop in town

5.00Cody and Karlene were amazing at accomodating our last minute changes and requests and gave us good advice regarding campsites and things to look out for. The canoes were clean and sturdy but not too heavy- exactly what we needed! Their shop is awesome and everything you need is there, available with a smile :) I'll keep coming back until one day I decide to splurge and get my own canoe
