About

On the first day of your trip, we'll teach you everything you need to know to safely and confidently navigate the waterways by canoe. Our expert guides will walk you through how to properly use essential gear and paddling techniques, ensuring you have the confidence to travel through the park's pristine lakes and rivers (don't worry, they'll be with you every step of the way).

Whether you're a seasoned paddler or brand new to the craft, we've got you covered. We offer personalized instruction to each member of the group, ensuring that you'll get the most out of your experience. We'll also cover essential safety and emergency procedures, giving you the knowledge and confidence to handle any situation that may arise.

As we journey deeper into the backcountry, you'll learn how to assess and choose a campsite, and practice essential skills like setting up your tent, how to assemble a weatherproof tarp system, building a fire fit for royalty, and cooking delicious meals over that open flame. Our guides will help you master these skills, while also sharing their vast knowledge of local flora, fauna, and cultural history of Algonquin Park.

Our trips run well into September and October, which is a particularly beautiful time of year to explore Algonquin Park. With the changing colours of the leaves and the crisp fall air, it's a magical time to be in the great outdoors. We have specially outfitted gear for the cooler weather and take all necessary precautions to manage cold weather risks.
