| CANOE EXPEDITION ON THE SEAL RIVER (GUIDED) |
14 nights
Departure in August |
| Polar bears, beluga whales and a depth of wilderness few can comprehend characterise this
waterway. The Seal River winds its way through the venerable landscape of the sub arctic
before it spills into Hudson Bay. On the banks of the Seal River, you will camp on
ancient eskers, age-old beds of sediment left behind by retreating glaciers. These
eskers also allow for unequalled hiking opportunities that will let you explore this
fascinating landscape. As well on this trip, you may well sight seals, caribou, wolves,
bald eagles, and - an experience you will not want to miss - beluga whales |

| CANOE EXPEDITION ON THE PIGEON RIVER
(GUIDED) |
5 nights
Departures in July |
| The Pigeon River is one of canoeing’s finest white-water rivers. It carves a
boisterous course through the Canadian Shield, a vast expanse of land characterized by granite
islands, sweeping forests, and waterways unchanged since the glaciers retreated thousands of
years ago. For those looking for white-water thrills, the Pigeon River has been
nicknamed Manitoba’s Colorado River. The Pigeon River is offered as an intensive 5
night adventure, which includes the best of Pigeon’s white-water. |

| CANOE EXPEDITION ON THE DEER RIVER (GUIDED) |
7 nights
Departure in June |
| The Deer River offers the thrilling experience of paddling alongside beluga whales into the
Land of Little Sticks. This name alludes to the tiny, sub arctic trees found along the
river’s banks. Their growth is stunted due to the area’s harsh growing
conditions. This river twists and winds its course through the top-most reaches of the
Boreal Forest. Fun little Class I and II rapids are around every corner. The Deer
River ends in Churchill, Manitoba, the summer home of literally thousands of beluga
whales. In addition to this thrilling whale experience, the Deer River is home to
caribou, moose and thousands of bird and waterfowl species. |

| CANOE EXPEDITION ON THE HAYES RIVER
(GUIDED) |
14 nights
Departure in July |
| While paddling the Hayes you are experiencing a piece of Canada’s fur trade and settlement
history. Like the colourful people who explored Canada’s north, the Hayes changes
personality many times; from a spirited river with pool-and-drop rapids to a great northern
river, characterised by steep gravel banks and long, continuous Class I-II rapids. The
Hayes flows into Hudson Bay where the oldest trading post in western Canada, York Factory, is
situated. Filled with relics from the height of the fur trade era, York Factory offers a
glimpse into life as it was when the Hudson’s Bay Company was at its most powerful. No
other river in western Canada offers the history and unspoiled remoteness of the Hayes
River. When you explore the Hayes you are stepping back in time and following the paddle
strokes of early explorers and fur traders. |
