Canadian Thousand Islands Guided Kayak Trip
Contact us for 2010 dates
$895 per person, double occupancy
Bienvenue ver le Canada! The Thousand Islands on the St. Lawrence River is a rich paddling destination with endless miles of quiet back bays, meandering rivers and thrilling open waters. The islands themselves are remnants of an ancient mountain chain that were scoured by glaciers and then flooded by the Great Lakes. Learn about the diverse heritage of the islands while we paddle this incredible scenery.
We will explore the area from Kingston all the way up to Brockville. Our daily paddles will take us past forts that defended a nation, castles of the wealthy, Indian petroglyphs, and a large array of bird life. Each day we will stop on a different island for our deli-style lunch. Our lodging is located in the historic town of Ganonoque, where we will stay in waterside cabins, fully equipped with kitchen and bath. You can choose to cook in your own cabins or eat out at the many restaurants in the area.
Kayaking is an activity that any reasonably fit person can enjoy. This tour is designed for beginning paddlers, and basic paddling and safety instruction will be given at the beginning of the trip. You should be in good health and accustomed to regular exercise.

St. Lawrence Guided Expedition Kayak Trip
Contact us for 2010 dates
$495 per person, double occupancy (includes all taxes)
The St. Lawrence Islands National Park of Canada is located between Kingston and Brockville, Ontario. The park is comprised of approximately 20 historic islands scattered throughout the St. Lawrence River. Each island has its own unique history – some islands were used as farmlands, some had large Inns for the rich and famous, and some have remained untouched and unspoiled. Paddling through the park will afford you views of historic forts, gunboat exhibits, a multitude of waterfowl, and ancient petroglyphs. You’ll also want to keep an eye out below your boat; due to the zebra mussels the waters of the St. Lawrence are as crystal clear as the Caribbean Sea.
The trip will begin in the town of Gananoque, Ontario, where the first night will be spent in waterside cabins. The following morning we will pack our boats and head out for 4 days and 3 nights of paddling and camping. Our daily paddles will average between four to eight miles in length, depending upon conditions. There will be plenty of time each day to explore the islands, lounge, read a book at the waterside, or fish these superb waters.
This trip is an introduction expedition trip and is designed for the individual who has had prior paddling experience. This trip is held during the “off-season,” as boat traffic along the St. Lawrence River tends to increase to a high level during the later summer months. The weather during this time of year can be unpredictable, so you should be prepared for possible chilly nights, and the potential for rain always exists.
The cost of the trip includes one night of cabin lodging, 3 nights of camping, all on-water meals, and all paddling equipment (if needed). You will need to provide your own tent, sleeping bag, and pad (tents and bags are available for rent). Not included in the cost of the trip is transportation to Gananoque, Ontario, gratuities for the guides, and medical expenses due to injury or illness.
There is a minimum number of participants required to confirm this trip. Therefore please do not make any travel arrangements (airline flights, train) until you have received confirmation from us that the trip has fully booked. A 50% deposit is due at time of reservation, with payment in full due 60 days prior to the trip’s start date. For more information on our trip policies please click here.
