The first three days feature an Algonquin Park canoe trip – the quintessential way to experience Algonquin’s wilderness and waterways. With stellar opportunities to see wildlife, the canoe trip moves at a relaxed pace with loads of time to search for moose, swim and roast s'mores around the campfire. Stay at spectacular campsites and feast on back-country gourmet meals cooked over the fire.
The Algonquin Log Cabin is the perfect place to finish any canoe trip. A swim, sauna, hot shower followed by chilled beer, wine and appetizers. Then on to a feast prpepared by the awesome Log cabin kitchen. The pace is reggae for the final two days. A voyageur canoe excursion and picnic lunch on Surprise lake, options to hike to lookouts, and a super fun Eco Challenge. Of course, you can always relax, read, or take a nap.

“Although we booked the tour to show a bit of Canadiana to our nephew, we were hooked and are already talking of going back during the winter.”

“Totally fabulous experience. Great guides, devine food (camping and lodge) and great experiences from making herbal tea, learning about bird calls, canoe tips and making international friends.”

Backcountry camping refers to camping in Algonquin Park’s interior campsites. On our canoe trips, the guide finds the best campsite for the group. Each campsite has tent sites, a firepit, and a “thunderbox” (ie: toilet). We provide the tents, stoves, tarps, and any other equipment required to make a backcountry campsite into a backcountry palace. Water is taken from the lake and purified for drinking. All backcountry travel follows leave-no-trace principles as directed by the guide.
No, you don’t. All of our guides are experienced instructors and will show you the ropes.
For canoe trips, there will be as many as eight guests plus your guide. This guest to guide ratio is an industry standard for warm, flat-water canoe trips. We do our best to sort families into like-demographics. At the Algonquin Log Cabin there are as many as 12 guests on each trip and three staff members. Our guests range in age and nationality.
It’s not unusual for guests to be trading emails at the end of their trips – it’s easy to make friends when you’re having so much fun!
It means that our cabin is not hooked up to grid electricity. We operate without the need for electricity aside from filling our water cisterns from our well, for which we use a generator.
