Program Details
Get intimate with nature in Algonquin Provincial Park. Algonquin Adventure Tours' guided group canoe camping trips offers the perfect opportunity to 'get away from it all', while getting in touch with nature and yourself. Relaxing in a hammock to the beautiful echo of loon calls, seeing a bull moose or hearing wolf howls at night will provide memories to last a lifetime. Our skilled wilderness guides will enhance your Algonquin Park canoe trip by ensuring your safety, providing back country expertise and humour to your adventure, and knowing the best places to pick fresh berries, fish or photograph moose. Previous canoeing or camping experience is not necessary. The ability to challenge yourself and enjoy nature is. If you are serious about photographing moose, our multiday adventures are your best opportunity (90% success). We are proud that our safaris have a 90% success rate for fishing in Algonquin Park. If you wish to fish, we can rent a rod and fishing licenses are sold at our meeting location. Participants over the age of 6 are welcome. However, whiny people of any age or those who might ask "are we there yet?" after 20 minutes of effort, are not. All our regular Algonquin Park canoe camping trips are mixed groups with up to 8 international participants and 1 guide. You will definitely makes some news friends. Custom private trips, of any length, are available. Please contact us for further information. The intimate size of our groups combined with excellent reviews causes our safaris to sell out early (3-4 months in advance is common). So, please make your reservation below as early as possible to avoid disappointment. |

Full Itinerary
Day 1 Meet at Algonquin Provincial Park access point #5 (Canoe Lake), at 11:50am, for a delicious lunch of Henrietta's and fresh fruit. After some basic instruction in canoeing technique and safety, we will paddle about 12km (3-5 hours of solid paddling with periodic breaks) to a secluded wilderness campsite. Routes may include portages and crossing beaver dams. We will make camp, take a refreshing swim, and prepare a feast of fresh salad, honey/garlic/sesame steak, fresh vegetables and whole grain spaghetti. All days end with fireside (if there is no fire ban) laughs, roasted marshmallows and hot chocolate/tea. Day Two This is a paradise day. Swim, paddle, read in your hammock, hike, take photographs for National Geographic submission or just relax to the sound of loon calls. Your guide can show you the best places to fish, photograph or practice solo canoe strokes. Usually, the group decides together to go on a 5km hike and/or a 5km paddle in search of moose. Meals include cheesy scrambled eggs with home fries, bacon and fresh fruit for breakfast, all natural hot-dogs and maple baked beans for lunch, and teriyaki/sesame chicken and vegetable stir fry over Japanese rice/quinoa for dinner. Day Three After a hearty breakfast of pancakes with pure maple syrup and fresh fruit, five day trips will paddle and portage about 8km to our second destination. Along the way, lunch of PB&J sandwiches on artisanal muesli bread will be served. Relax or play in the afternoon. Dinner will be Salmon, couscous and vegetables. Four day trips spend another day lounging and exploring paradise from the same base location. Three days trips return back to original access point after lunch (between 1-2pm). Day Four This is another paradise day to enjoy. Meals include traditional native bannock with honey and fresh fruit for breakfast, Tuna macaroni and cheese for lunch, and bacon, mixed grains and lentils with tomato/spinach sauce for dinner. Four day trips return back to original access point after lunch (between 1-2pm). Day Five We will set out early to ensure maximum potential for moose viewing. The final leg of our 5 day circuit has 500-1000m of portage depending on water levels. Meals on this day include oatmeal with fruit for breakfast and lasagna or beef stew for lunch. We will return to original access point after lunch (1-2pm). |
