I decided to embark on this 3-night 4 days portaging journey for the first time without ever being on a canoe, with minimal knowledge of portaging, afraid of standing water, and on top of it, being a 43-year female solo traveller. People said I was crazy, but I returned home, mind filled with memories and new discoveries, and heart filled with deeper gratitude for life. Natural nature truly has the power to unleash hidden thoughts and feelings out of us in a gentle, magical way.
The passion and the love Driftwood Paddle Adventure has and for what they offer as a company to give the best experiences to the guests was beyond imaginable. Not only did I feel welcomed instantly, but they were also encouraging, extremely experienced and knowledgeable in all aspects of life. All their equipment and gear were well treated and cared for, which is the extension of who they truly are as individuals. The itinerary was well thought out, suited for my level of strength and skill, meals were healthy, creative and delicious, and the all-inclusive package made it extremely simple even for a new adventurer like me to pack and go and be worry free.
Sending my special thanks to Craig, my perfect Guide for being an amazing chef, teacher, and a new friend who helped me fill my adventure with learnings, challenges and incredible experiences. This 4-day trip has become one of my proudest, most fulfilling adventures I have ever been on. I am forever grateful.
Thank you, Driftwood Paddle Adventure for spreading your passion and love for nature with us. Cheers to you, and to all the future adventures from all around the world who get to experience magic with this team!
