What Guests Are Saying

Canoe Guides were awesome (Erin and Jarrod) with their technical canoe skills, customer service, food prep and great menu, and always putting safety first. Food menu designed by a First Nations chef and was excellent with great variation each day (even baked a cake one night…yes a cake!). Weather was perfect. Sooo much fun!
