Guided Canoe Trips

Join us! Spend five days this summer immersed in the wilderness. Whether you are an experienced back-country paddler or a complete beginner, our guided canoe trips are a great way to experience the incredible scenic beauty of the largest intact forest in the world.

Each trip begins on Monday with an exhilarating full day's paddle over 7 lakes and 6 portages, is followed by three days at a rustic island cabin with a blissful wood-fired sauna, and finishes up on Friday with a day's paddle back out. Canoes, paddles, safety equipment, food and accommodation are all provided.

Experienced instructors will help you learn canoeing techniques and basic wilderness skills. You will participate in all aspects of the experience, from route finding to washing dishes. Your enjoyment of nature will be enhanced by varied activities including hiking, exploring, fishing, refreshing swims and evening saunas.

The spectacular surroundings offer unmatched opportunities for photography, astronomy, botany and wildlife observation. Wildflowers dot every patch of sunlit ground. Songbirds and waterfowl make the most of the short northern summer. Each week a different expert helps you explore a new facet of the Mantario experience. Review this year's program listings and select the one that is right for you.
