Amazing Tour Must Do

5.00From start to finish our guide Enzo was brilliant, he was informative and knowledgeable about the area we were covering. He never made false promises about what we should expect to see on this tour. We were lucky enough to see a Moose thanks to his friend giving him a heads up! The area is stunning that you get to go around and stress free as you just sit back and relax. A must do for nature lovers, Thanks Enzo! Tom & Chelsea, England

5.00Fabulous experience. Andrew, our guide, was charming, well informed & looked after us very well. Neither of us had been in a canoe before & he made us feel very safe, didn’t even get my feet wet! He also likes a laugh. I would highly recommend this trip, a quiet non invasive way to experience this beautiful place. Thank you!

5.00Very pleasant walk with very competent guides who took us to totally isolated coves where we have the best chance to see animals. Well, no moose on the horizon but many birds and other batracians and the pleasure of fully enjoying nature.
Fabulous day trip! Do it!

Amazing Trip, Must-do when in Algonquin

5.00We did the private 3 hour canoe tour with Andrew today and it was definitely one highlight of our trip. Andrew greeted us at the lake at 6.45, and even provided some amazing Danish pastries for us. At this time we were the only ones out on the lake and it was so peaceful and quiet, we absolutely loved it. He was also the best guide and gave us some interesting information on the history of the lake and the animals around. If you ever visit Algonquin you should definitely add this tour to your itinerary!

5.00We had a fabulous time. Everything went so smoothly. Communication prior to our tour was excellent, which meant that they were able to accomodate my allergies with the lovely lunch provided. This is something we wouldn't have been able to do on our own as we are not boaters. Andrew, our guide, is an amazing, insightful, fabulous, fun, interactive guide who made the tour even more enjoyable. We look forward to coming back to see the fall colours sometime soon. Thank you again.
Great Trip
