Backcountry Canoe Adventures in Algonquin Park
Custom all-inclusive guided canoe trips bringing you nature's wild with the ease of having routes, meals, and safety plans completed for you.
Locally owned and operated by the Kelly Brothers, and located on the park’s north-west entrance, as professional and experienced Algonquin Park guides, we steer you on authentic journeys through picturesque places you’ve never been before.
Freely immerse yourself in the untouched rhythm of the wild. Unplug from the everyday and find a deeper connection. Journey down winding rivers, across lakes dotted with islands as you explore Algonquin’s sanctuary for wildlife. Discover the perfect place to camp under the vast night sky and enjoy the splendours of innovative campfire cuisine.
