"Canoeing in the 26 foot Voyageur"

The Mighty Peace River Package:

Following the 1793 return of Alexander Mackenzie's discovery, you experience the majesty of this historic river. You can choose to travel as a group, either in the 26 foot Voyageur or in Quicksilver tandem canoes.

This wide, calm river winds through a valley of aspen, interspersed with spruce and poplar. The river's north shore offers many hiking possibilities on the natural grassland slopes where occasional cattle pastures interrupt the otherwise wilderness setting. Bald eagles can sometimes be seen soaring above the pockets of ducks and geese that make the silty waters their summer home.

"A Cow Moose with her Twin Calves"

Tent camping on the river shore or on the islands, brings you close to nature and gives you a true taste of the North's adventurous spirit. All food, transportation and equipment is supplied. Good health and fitness are required. Voyageur canoeing needs no previous experience. To use tandem canoes, basic paddling strokes are recommended.

The Winagami - Heart Corridor Package:

During July & August (with a minimum 4 per group):

Your Choice:

Your experienced guides lead you into becoming more independent with your canoe while paddling on each excursion. Gentle hiking and interpretive nature walks, in wilderness settings are part of the canoe - birding outings. Your camera is a must for the frequent photographic opportunities that present themselves. In our canoes we gently glide towards the waterfowl for closer observation and photographs. The infrequent Great Blue Heron, American White Pelican or Loon may pass close by.

This canoe - birding "tour", requires good health and basic fitness. Having previous paddling experience is an asset but not essential. Most suited to adults with an interest in water birds and outdoor activities, whether a group of friends, family or club. All food, transportation and virtually all equipment is supplied.
