Pathways of the Algonquin 3 day canoe tour

Canoe and hike the old pathways of the Algonquin people to a remote lodge in Algonquin Provincial Park.

Follow the pathways of the Algonquin people as you canoe through the mist, spot wildlife, and hike into the wilderness in the northwest corner of Algonquin Provincial Park. This two-night tour is based at Algonquin Log Cabin on Surprise Lake, combining a scenic and peaceful location with knowledgeable guides and an intimate ambience.

Begin the trip at your log cabin base, meeting your fellow guests and guides with an introductory paddle by canoe, followed by a hike on Kitchie Island. In the afternoon, you can choose to continue the adventure by paddling around the lake or return to the cabin to unwind. After a gourmet dinner, you'll venture onto the lake guided only by the stars in a 26 ft (8 m) canoe, listening to the symphony of sounds of the park.

The following day, you’ll take a leisurely morning hike to Lookout Bluff for views over some of the Algonquin lakes before returning to the lodge for lunch. You have free time in the afternoon to relax, canoe on the lake, swim, use the sauna or fish. In the later afternoon, you’ll paddle to one of the islands for a sunset bonfire and scrumptious evening meal prepared by one of the guides.

Rise and shine early on your last morning as it's time for a sunrise paddle. Be as silent as possible to allow the maximum chance to sneak up on any wildlife that might be around, particularly moose as they are known for taking early morning baths at this time. Arriving at another idyllic island, take in the stunning vistas for a while before returning to the lodge to spend the last few hours at leisure before departing.
