MHO Adventures
All Inclusive Backcountry Canoe Trips & Wilderness Guide Training
Overview
Adventure awaits on the Moose River! Take your family on a journey through history and nature. Ride the Polar Bear Express north, then paddle the serene Moose River through the Hudson Bay Lowlands. Over four days, hunt for fossils, camp on gravel bars, and paddle fun swifts. If luck is on your side, the northern lights may even light up the sky! A perfect adventure for creating lifelong memories.
We end our trip in the town of Moose Factory, where the Moose Cree people reside and one of the many towns around James Bay that were part of the fur trade and colonisation of Canada. Our friends here will show us around and introduce us to some of the local culture, and perhaps take a motor boat trip out to Ship Sands Island at the mouth of James Bay. Finally we will paddle over to the town of Moosonee, portage through the middle of town and board the Polar Bear Express for our journey home.
This adventure combines the unique natural history of the Hudson Bay Lowlands – a significant northern estuary – with the colourful cultural and human history of the Indigenous People and early European inhabitants.

What Guests Are Saying
It was honestly one of the best weeks I've ever had with my children and I hope it inspires them to a life of canoe tripping. We are already talking about next year!
