Wilderness Canoe Trips in Algonquin Park, Ontario

Summer is the most popular season for ecotourism activities in Ontario. And with good reason. Warm, sunny days, abundant Nature, cool fresh water lakes, and clear star filled nights contribute to an unequalled setting for a wilderness canoe trip & camping experience. Add to this our huge amount of wildlife, and you end up with the ultimate destination for a wilderness canoe trip! A guided canoe trip in Algonquin Park, or canoeing and hiking in Killarney Park, is the best way to enjoy the beauty that an Ontario summer has to offer.

In most parts of the world there are very few truly "wild" areas remaining. In Europe, Japan, and even considerable portions of the U.S., large undomesticated creatures such as wolves, moose or bears, are NEVER seen as they have long since been pushed aside by "civilization". In Canada, and specifically in Ontario, we are fortunate to have vast tracts of land that are untamed. We are doubly fortunate that these areas can be reached in only a few hours from Toronto. Algonquin Park is only 3 hours north of Toronto, while Killarney Park is only 4 hours north. Both Algonquin and Killarney are ideal locations for a wilderness canoe trip.

We have a variety of canoe and hiking trips to several of these world famous wilderness canoeing parks. You can watch a Video of a typical canoe trip to get a better idea of what it's all about.

Algonquin Park Canoe Trips

Only 3 hours north of Toronto, Algonquin Park is Ontario's oldest Provincial Park, and one of the largest in Canada. It is even larger than several European countries! Algonquin boasts over 7600 square kilometres, with over 2000 fresh water lakes. Within the borders of Algonquin Park can be found deer, moose, beaver, wolves, bears, and many other wild animals, all in their natural habitats and, for the most part, untouched by Man.

Algonquin Park is so big, and so varied, that one end of Algonquin can have entirely different weather from the other end! In fact, it can be compared to several countries in size! It is 1.5 times larger than Prince Edward Island, 1/4 the size of Belgium, 3 times larger than Luxembourg, and 7 times larger than Hong Kong! We have Algonquin Park canoe trips going to several different locations - it takes more than one canoe trip to truly "see" Algonquin Park!

• 3 Day Canoe Trip - This is an excellent introduction to wilderness canoe trips and camping in the north and south parts of Algonquin Park.
• 3 Day Canoeing and Hiking Trip - A combination of canoeing and hiking, centred in the forests surrounding a southern lake in Algonquin Park.
• 4 Day Wilderness Canoe Trips - For people with a bit more time, who want to explore Algonquin on a canoe trip during the uncrowded week days.
• 5 Day Algonquin Park Canoe Trips - This canoe trip is a bit more adventurous, and a bit more difficult than the 3 and 4 day canoe trips. We canoe more lakes, and do more portages! Since a lot of the lakes are small, there is a good chance of seeing grazing moose or deer.
• 5 Day Barron Canyon Canoe Trip - This canoeing and hiking trip involves 3 days of canoeing and one day of hiking through the forest of eastern Algonquin. The canoeing is done in the most spectacular part of Algonquin Park - the 100m deep Barron Canyon!
• Algonquin Explorer is a trip you won't soon forget. It has a half day of driving an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) along forest trails, 5 days of wilderness canoeing into the heart of Algonquin Park, and 2 days of river rafting on the mighty Ottawa River!

Killarney Park Canoe Trips

Called the "Crown Jewel" of Ontario Parks, Killarney's crystal clear waters are a truly marvellous canoeing experience. And its majestic, millennia old, mountains provide incredible "Ridge Walking" hiking trails. These 4 Day Canoe Trips are a real highlight of our summer! They involve 3 days of wilderness canoeing and 1 day of hiking, all in the most scenic canoeing region of Ontario!

Women Only Canoe Trips

We are pleased to offer these 4 day canoe trips timed to coincide with the Canadian long weekends. They are the same high quality wilderness canoe trips that we usually run, but these canoe trips are open to, obviously, women only.
