What To Expect

This 6-day package is an excellent introduction to to the wilderness of Canada. It starts off with a 3-day/3-night stay at the award winning Algonquin Eco-Lodge, and it ends with a 3-day/2-night wilderness canoe trip in Algonquin Park.

The first 3 days at Algonquin Eco-Lodge allows you to ease into the wilderness. The Lodge is a remote, off-grid lodge tucked deep into the forests of southern Algonquin Park. It is on the shores of a private lake and a cascading waterfall. Since vehicles are not allowed inside the Park it is a 2.5 km hike to get to the building, but your luggage can be collected for you. Even though the Lodge is off-grid, it creates its' own electricty from the waterfall. Thanks to this system the Eco-Lodge was awarded the Sustainable Tourism Award by the Ontario government.

While you are at the Eco-Lodge you can make use of the canoes, paddle boat, or row boat. The lake is good for swimming and there is a floating swim platform to laze around on. Hiking, fishing, and horseback riding are all options to do.

The last 3 days are spent on a canoe trip. You will meet your guide who will teach you how to paddle a canoe, put up a tent, and start a camp fire. During the day you will paddle remote lakes looking for moose or deer along the shoreline. In the evening you will collect firewood, and enjoy a hearty meal around the campfire. It is not uncommon to hear wolves howling in the distance at night.

All meals are included, as is all camping equipment. You only need a sleeping bag, flashlight, and rain gear (available to rent).

Frequently Asked Questions

(7)

Q: Will I get seasick on 6-Day Algonquin Explorer Canoe Trip?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
