Canoe Adventure in the Canadian Rockies | Escape into the Wilderness

Holiday Duration: 5 Nights

"We explored lots of that south coast"

We have just returned from our week in Nova Scotia and wanted to thank you for organising it all. Both hotels were excellent, the Halliburton was very well placed in the city and their restaurant is really excellent. The Hotel Atlantica's cottage was just what we wanted, by the sea and equipped with all we needed and quiet. We explored lots of that south coast with a quick trip to the north but more to see next time! Your printed driving instructions were a GREAT help, not something we have been given before and greatly appreciated them.

Five Days of Fun, Thrills and Action Canoeing Down the River in Open Canadian Canoes

This is a canoeing holiday for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. You will canoe through gorgeous scenery with a group of no more than 12 people, camp in the wilderness and still be able to enjoy good food.
There are no towns and no houses along the route, just you, the river and the forests. A truly Canadian adventure for beginners and experienced canoeists.

Demands: this guided canoe trip is suitable for beginners.  International Classification of Difficulty (1 being lowest, 5 highest) rates this stretch of the Athabasca River as Class 1 overall, with several Class I and II rapids, and one Class III rapid.

There are other longer camping/canoeing/hiking trips in the Rockies and on Vancouver Island – ask us for details.

This should be part of your longer holiday within Canada. Ask us for a tailor made itinerary to include this trip.

"The holiday you arranged for us was great"

The holiday you arranged for us was great and we really appreciate all the work you did before we actually booked anything. When we were in Canada it became clear that your advice was sound and that you had prevented us from making a few mistakes in what thought we wanted to do, so thanks for that too!
In terms of the detail, we found that you had got the perfect balance between travelling between bases and sightseeing. The distances were never too long and the time spent in each location, although it ranged from one to four days, was just enough for us to see all we wanted but without rushing. So although we drove over 2000 miles, spent a day on a ferry and stayed in seven different locations, we have returned feeling relaxed and rested as well as fully entertained by the wide variety that Canada has to offer. We really feel that your arrangements were better value than anything we could have done ourselves.
