A 3-day guided canoe camping safari in Algonquin Park with expert paddling, moose chances, fishing, and gourmet camp meals for up to 8.
“We were taking a Canoe Camping Safari end of Juli 25. Our guide was Gill. The three short days will be unforgettable, especially thanks to Gill. He started the journey with clear instructions. We felt save and well taken care of. During the first day he gave us little tasks, challenges for the younger ones, telling jokes and hilarious stories. We had such fun! During the camping time he cooked himself and took care of everything and everyone. He also taught us respect of the wonders of nature. It was a wonderful time, I will gladly refer friends to take this journey. Isabella from Switzerland”

Private safari from Canmore with a scenic Banff drive, park pass included, wildlife spotting, plus a tailored nature walk for great photos.
“Jacob from Canmore Trails and Tales was awesome and so accommodating (originally scheduled in bad weather, so he moved it for us…Plus brought us coupons for rainy day activities😊) While on tour we saw…elk, deer, eagle, and mountain sheep. The only recommendation I would make is to schedule this tour early in your trip as we were given a wealth of information regarding food, shopping, other tours and areas to explore. Great experience!
