Embrace yourself in the immersion of nature. Our guides help you to tune in and enjoy your beautiful surroundings while you paddle. Rise with the sun, sip on warm coffee and enjoy a glassy Canadian lake. Let the day take hold, grab on to your paddle and make your way with us down the river. When evening falls listen to the crackling of the campfire while searching for the big dipper!

Meals on the river are cooked over a fire, but embody the gourmet style that our lodges are known for. Food just tastes better over the fire, from fresh baked pizza to fish from the bottom of a rapid you just paddled, our guides have mastered the art of outdoor cuisine.

Coming from Toronto, I was a bit nervous to be out in the woods. This worry quickly faded, we had simply the most wonderful time. I learnt how to not only stern a canoe, but paddle down rapids. Staying at the lodge at the end was also such a treat. Would recommend this trip to anyone!
