Canadian Voyageur Adventures provide guided canoe excursions in replica fur trade canoes!

26 foot North Canoes (3 to10 paddlers) and 34 foot Montreal Canoes (5 to18 paddlers) are fast, comfortable and stable - an ideal way in which to experience the beauty of the Canada's wilderness areas.

Imagine a day of paddling on pristine lakes and rivers, floating quietly among the wildlife, or swimming in clear, clean water...an evening campfire under a canopy of stars, perhaps even catching the howl of distant wolves.

 

Your experienced Voyageur Guides are trained in first aid and CPR and are knowledgeable about wildlife, history and the ecological issues facing Canada's Wilderness Areas. A Canadian Voyageur Adventure is suitable for most people - experienced or not. Great for groups and families, and ideal for photography and video of scenery and wildlife. Wildlife often seen on our excursions include: moose, otter, loons, great blue heron, various waterfowl, bald eagles, osprey, turkey vultures, marsh hawks, beaver, muskrat, fisher and pine martens.

We provide all the meals and paddling equipment. Guests bring their own tents, sleeping bags and sleeping pads (see *notes regarding rentals). Our meals are hearty and varied and incorporate some traditional Voyageur foods! With advance notice, we can accommodate special food preferences or requirements for vegetarians, allergies, etc.
