★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 86 reviews · from $107Top rated

Join a naturalist guide such as Enzo, Andrew, Diego, or Jim for a six-hour Algonquin canoe outing. You will paddle two lakes, carry the canoe over a short portage, hike to a lookout, eat a bakery sandwich, and swim or cliff jump if conditions allow. Four-seat canoes make it workable for families with children aged seven and up.

“Die Tour ist klasse, jedoch für Ungeübte wie mich recht anstrengend. Wir sind etwa 13 km gepaddelt und durften das Kanu zweimal knapp 300 m zum nächsten See tragen. Der Picknick-Aussichtspunkt ist grandios, die Verpflegung verblüffend üppig, der Abstecher zum Seerosenarm des Joe Lake fantastisch. Negativ blieb einzig hängen, dass trotz mehrfacher Interessebekundung fast aller männlichen Paddler das zugesagte Klippenspringen entfiel, weil es unser ansonsten großartiger Guide Blake so beschloss. Schade! Ansonsten war es eine perfekte Tour.”

We are a group made up of 52 year old woman plus 2 teenagers (age 16 and 17). Whilst we were advised to bring breakfast and lunch, in fact Mike made sure we had plenty of opportunities to go to restroom and also purchase snacks and drinks. Mike was an excellent tour guide and driver.”
