All-inclusive Algonquin Backcountry kano-ervaring

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!

I feel so blessed to share my father/son camping experience with Driftwood Paddle Inc. The trip got off to an interesting start when I arrived mistakenly one full day in advance of my trip by error! No problem, they strategized, packed up, and we were canoeing and portaging in no time without the guilt or turning back. Their attention to detail and investments in top of the line gear including some beautiful Swift Kevlar canoes making the portage a breeze. Our guide Chris takes pride in offering a timeless memory in the backcountry. His cooking is out of this world! I cannot recommend this company enough for organizing your next trip in the great Algonquin wilderness. My ten year old "techie" boy grew up a lot on this trip without wifi. Chris captured his attention wowed him knowledge about how to thrive in the wilderness. Keep paddling and book confidently with Driftwood Paddle Inc.

The experience with Driftwood Paddle Algonquin was a once in a lifetime experience, CK and his team are true professionals at their craft. Their knowledge and passion came through in their attention to detail, planning, and excitement. Preparation was made very easy with the detailed packing list provided by CK. Delicious meals were prepared on a daily basis. Our group spent the days exploring various portage routes in the park and making deep connections with the other members of the party. I grew up having completed many remote hiking and paddling trips in my youth, and I have a great deal of respect for the work and preparation required by CK and his team to facilitate these types of experiences, especially with our large group size (15+). This was a very transformative journey, bringing me back to my roots. The experience with Driftwood Paddle Algonquin was beyond 5 stars, and I can't wait to return. I would highly recommend a guided tour with Driftwood Paddle Algonquin for anyone considering it.
