The best way to discover the beauty of Algonquin Park is by canoe. A canoe trip takes you away from the pressures and distractions of everyday life. You set the pace and the schedule. You decide when to stop for a swim, how long to enjoy the sight of a moose or whether or not you should pursue that elusive smallmouth bass or lake trout. A canoe trip is a great way for families and friends to share an exhilarating outdoor experience, unwind a little (or a lot!), develop new skills (or maybe rediscover old ones), use some different muscles and get to know each other a little better.

The canoe is the perfect vehicle for traveling the waterways of the Canadian Shield and Algonquin Outfitters can help you plan a trip that suits your interests and abilities. Whether you simply rent a canoe or take part in one of our completely outfitted, guided trips, you can count on Algonquin Outfitters to provide top quality lightweight equipment and the best service available.

From initial planning to final packing, Algonquin Outfitters can help with every aspect of your canoe trip. Our Partial Outfitting service allows you to rent a canoe and/or extra pieces of equipment. Complete Outfitting allows you to show up with just your personal gear and find all the food and equipment ready to go. Several different packages are available to suit your needs and budget. A big part of our service to all outfitting customers is route and trip advice. Our experienced staff are canoe trippers themselves and happy to share their skills and their extensive knowledge of Algonquin Park.

Algonquin Outfitters offers Guided and Self-Guided Trips
An experienced guide can make a wilderness trip a lot less intimidating to the first time adventurer. Algonquin Outfitters offers both guided day trips and a guided overnight trip packages. Trips are run from our Oxtongue Lake and Opeongo stores and are available by advance reservation only. Self-guided trips can be as easy or as challenging as you want. Algonquin Outfitters will help with top-quality equipment and expert advice.

Algonquin Park Day Trips
Not everyone wants to spend days in the wilderness. An Algonquin Outfitters Day Trip can introduce you to the Algonquin Park experience with a shorter time commitment. We offer several different types of day trips, so we're confident that we will have something that meets your interests and desires.

From an easy paddle on one of our kayaking nights in Huntsville or Haliburton, to exploring the waters of Ragged Falls or the wildlife of Hailstorm Creek, we have a day trip for every paddler. If you want to "sample" the park and learn some fundamental canoe-tripping skills, try a guided day trip in Algonquin Park.

 

Overnight Algonquin Park Trips
Complete outfitting is ideal for people without the time, experience and/or equipment to put together their own wilderness trip. Several different packages are available to suit your needs and budget. Our packages include all the camping and canoeing equipment you need for an enjoyable trip, as well as a nourishing, delicious menu designed for wilderness travel.

Click on the package link to get a detailed description. For most, you need only bring your own clothing and personal items. We supply canoeing equipment and prepare and pack all food and camping supplies. Our custom menu sets Algonquin Outfitters' outfitting packages apart from the rest. You can select a food package that meets your personal tastes and dietary requirements without being restricted to a standard pre-set menu.

The most valuable part of our outfitting service is the training, advice and help that our experienced guides and outfitters will give when custom tailoring your trip, route and equipment to your abilities and interests. Provided for no extra charge, this service is just one of the things that makes any Algonquin Outfitters outfitting package among the finest in North America.

All complete outfitting rates, except Solo and Sea Kayak Outfitting, are based on a minimum of two in a party, with a minimum two-day charge.
