These canoe trips are perfect for people on a tight schedule who want an introduction into wilderness camping. All meals, permits, a knowledgeable guide, and all equipment (except personal items like sleeping bags, flashlights) is provided to you. Optional transportation from Toronto (to be paid direct). Day 1 Your guide will instruct everyone on the necessary skills and techniques for canoeing. With your “Expedition weight” kevlar canoes you will paddle into one of the interior lakes of Algonquin Park (Pen Lake). While kevlar canoes are much more fragile than other canoes, requiring you to be careful around rocks, you will appreciate their relative lightness on portages and their speed in the water. At the end of this three day canoe trip you won’t be an expert but you will know how to pack and steer a canoe. After a three hour paddle (including a 300m portage) you will arrive at your wilderness camp. Since this is a true interior wilderness camp you will have to bring everything with you in the canoes, including the tents. Once you establish camp, with the help of your experienced guide, you are free to explore the lake we are on. There are several large rapids that were once used as log chutes that are quite interesting. Also, in this area it is quite common to see moose grazing by the edge of the lake – we have seen over a half dozen moose in a two day period here! Dinner will consist of fresh food, prepared on site, and enjoyed by the side of a blazing campfire! Afterwards, you can sit and watch the Milky Way rise slowly above your heads. The sky is so clear in Algonquin Park that you can even count satellites passing by. And if you’re really lucky you may even hear wolves howling in the distance. This is real Canadian camping! Day 2 Today is a day of exploration. You can spend it exploring the lake you are on, by canoe, looking for moose, or perhaps do another portage and canoe up a meandering river. If you decide to try another lake one option is to do a short portage and then canoe the slow moving waters of the South Madawaska River. Since you will have to get out of our canoes to pull them over several beaver dams be sure to bring shoes or sandals for the water! Depending on where you establish your base camp, another option would be to canoe half way down the lake and then do a couple of portages, ending with a 1.7 km hike to Welcome Lake. This is one of the prettiest lakes in Algonquin Park, with a nice sandy beach. Perfect for picnic destination on a sunny day. Day 3 After an early morning breakfast you pack up camp, load the canoes, and start the paddle home. The early start is a great opportunity to see moose or deer coming to the lake shore to drink. Along the way you will stop at some ancient pictographs painted by the Natives centuries ago.

I went on a 3-day canoe trip with Call of the Wild. I had a wonderful time. Allan, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and patient. This was my first backcountry experience. As a solo traveler, I was accommodated in an already formed group of 5 people. Teh started from Shall Lake access point. We spent one night each at Farm Lake and Booth Lake before heading back to the starting location. The entire trip was well planned and executed. Allan kept us in good spirits and made sure the mood was cheerful. I really appreciate Call of the Wild taking care of my Halal dietary preference and catering to it. Overall, a solid 5-star tour company.

We really enjoyed the 3 days canoe trip with Robin and Amanda. We were 5 guests including a family of 3, with whom we really got along. The trip consisted in canoeing, portage and preparing the camp (food, campfire ...). As this was our first camping trip, Robin took the time to explain us everything very patiently about camp life, Algonquin wildlife and canoeing skills. We really enjoyed the canoeing part even if the windy weather made it a bit hard sometimes. We could observe wildlife (loones, bald eagles, chipmunks, frogs, and even a glimpse of a wolf !). The food cooked by Robin was delicious (fajitas, pasta, bagels, fruits, porridge...) and he carefully adapted to everyone's food restrictions. Algonquin Park is splendid, overall it was a wonderful experience, we definitely recommend it.
A quiet trip of happiness in nature

The tour itself was great, a few days to just be. Our group was small, just 3 guests and Robin, the owner who was our guide. Everyone was nice and helpful, and on more of the quiet side, so we had some friendly conversation, but mostly just soaked in sounds of the water and nature. The whole experience wasn't strenuous, we had time and energy to swim a little, read and just be and enjoy. The amount of canoeing was light, maybe 2-3 hours the first day as we were searching for a campsite. Robin was bit disgruntled, that he couldn't take us to the best campsite, as that was already taken, but ours was completely fine in an island pine grove with a prepared campfire place, flat places to set our tents - between two other campsites (people there were nice and quiet, didn't bother us at all outside of a friendly visit from a small pup😊). So if this was the "worst" I am happy to say it was still better than a lot of wild camping sites I have experienced. We set up camp, and for nearly each meal had a nice fire going. Each meal was freshly prepared, tasty and Call of the wild made sure that my complex dietary restrictions were met without excluding me to a special diet - I want to stress here, that this is exceptional, and thoughtful, and thank you Robin & team! Second day we did a bit more light canoeing, maybe 4-5 hours worth (we voted for a longer paddle, could have choosen a shorter trip), with a 1 km portage to a nother lake (same 1 km back), a packed lunch, a nice swim. The last day we had a morning fire for breakfast, packed up camp and paddled maybe 1,5 hours back to our starting point. We didn't see moose or bears, but met a couple of loons, red squirrels, a lot of chipmunks and some huge frogs. If we had any questions about the park or animals, vegetation, Robin was very knowledgeable.
Fantastic 3 day paddle with Rick

A superb trip to Crouch and Shirley lakes in late July, with a mixed experience group of paddlers across two families. The scenery was beyond our expectations and we encountered few people in our bit of wilderness - but sadly also no moose :-( which would have been the cherry on the cake. Rick was an excellent guide, raconteur and magician in the camp kitchen. The portage at 1000 meters was longer than perhaps typical for "newbie" trips but was flat and wide and worked well and I appreciated the fact I'd searched out a provider with lightweight Kevlar boats ! I appreciated the "proper" experience and the whole party covered the portage in two trips with just the right amount of challenge... At the time of year we still encountered a fair few mozzies and despite taking what we thought were adequate precautions left with some reminders beyond the photos and memories Definitely an experience to repeat though.
Most amazing experience!!!!

We had an absolutely amazing time! Rick was the perfect guide and he was very invested in ensuring that we had a great experience. Algonquin was beautiful during the peak of the fall colors. Rick was a great teacher, cook and knows the Algonquin inside out. He taught us how to portage, canoeing and camping 101, took us on hikes and explained the different trees in Algonquin. It was great hearing about Rick’s adventures over the years at Algonquin over a camp fire and s’mores! Call of Wild provided good quality equipment as well. I highly recommend Calm of the Wild and Rick for your Algonquin Canoe Adventures!
Much Fun

While not for the faint hearted, this was an amazing experience, Canadian style. Having never canoed or camped before, we didn't know exactly what to expect, but our guide, Robin, was very laid back and led our group of mixed skill levels through the basics of canoe operation, in slightly challenging (for beginners) conditions, portaging and the basics of camping safely alongside while potentially sharing the environment with wild animals. All in all a great experience, fantastic scenery and environment.
Wonderful!

Canoeing in the Alqonquin was just wonderful. Our guide Rick was a fantastic wildlife expert, canoeing instructor, cook, and also a charming and interesting person to talk to.

We did the 3 day canoe tour with Robin followed by two nights at the ecolodge inc. horse riding. The whole experience was fantastic - Robin and Trevor are so friendly and experienced, the organisation was slick, the food was incredible. I'd highly recommend call of the wild to anyone who wants to get off the beaten track and see the deeper wild of Canada that cars just can't get you to. Really good value and a trip we will never forget!!
