“There could be no greater reminder of the beauty of Canada than to experience it during winter at Algonquin Park. What a fabulous 3-days our family of four had snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and skating under the stars while staying in a beautiful cabin.”

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!
You do not require any prior experience. We host a range of guests from first-timers to grizzled outdoors people every week. Our pace is relaxed and the objective is to have fun, slow down, and leave plenty of time to explore the beauty of the Algonquin area.
You should be able to be active for up to four hours (walking pace) at a time. While travelling in the backcountry, we make frequent stops for snacks, hydration, toilet, and to admire the gorgeous views!
