Guided Temagami Canoe Trips

We think the best way to learn about Temagami is by joining one of Smoothwater’s group canoe trips with a certified Temagami canoe guide.

Guided and outfitted, these trips are designed for beginners with minimum experience, but maximum enthusiasm. Our Temagami guides teach you the ropes while sharing their passion for nature interpretation -- rocks, plants, weather, wildlife, insects, mushrooms, even animal scat.

It’s terrific value in outdoor adventure learning.

MOTHER-DAUGHTER CANOE TRIP
August 19-24, 2010.
$652.50 pp with pre/post trip lodging, 3 night/4 day canoe trip, gear, food, instruction, guides.
This unique, guided canoe trip is designed for special pre-teen mother- daughter bonding. Learn paddling and camping skills and how to be a great s'mores chef. Swim in Temagami's clean waters, hike in our famous forests, and discover wilderness secrets. Watch your daughter explore and play, while she watches the girl in you do the same. Both of you will find inner strength, portaging a canoe and sleeping comfortably in a tent. Strengthen bonds that will warm you in the teenage years ahead.

TEMAGAMI TREE HUGGER WEEKEND
Starting every Friday night in July and August. Spring, fall and winter tours by appointment.
from $350 pp Includes 2 nights/6 meals, guide, equipment
Imagine walking beside a creature over 300 years and upwards of 60 feet. These ancient red and white pine are the largest remaining stands in North America --trees that have witnessed 300 years of history. Join us in this guided canoe and hike into a wild forest that will change you forever. In the autumn catch the fall colours of golden birch and red maple that also compose these forests. In winter, book a snowshoe tour. Whatever season, you will come out a different person.

YOGA, PADDLING, PAINTING, PILATES, COOKING RETREAT
July 12-16, 2010

Nurture and refresh your body, mind and spirit with our lakeside yoga retreat set amidst pine forests, wild flowers, and lush gardens.

Swimming and saunas make this one of the most unique and enjoyable yoga retreats in Ontario.
