Overnight - Ultimate Canoe Trip

From planning to packing, Algonquin Outfitters can help with every aspect of your canoe trip. Reserving any Complete Outfitting package allows you to show up with your personal gear and find all your food and equipment ready to go. An upgrade to the popular Super Deluxe package, this program offers the most personal attention you can get short of a guided trip. Our staff will assist you through the entire canoe trip process, from initial preparations, route planning, final packing and making sure all the last minute details are taken care of. Ultimate Canoe Trip Outfitting is designed for the first time canoe tripper desiring the finest equipment, service and food available in Algonquin Park, or anywhere!

These include pre-trip route planning, free permit reservation service, free tent cabin accommodation at Oxtongue Lake the nights before and after your trip (with hot showers too!) and free, secure parking at Oxtongue Lake if using our transportation services. On arrival at our base, the group will participate in our informative Greenhorn Service, a short introduction to paddling and camping fundamentals, also at no extra charge.

What to Bring
You need only bring your own clothing and personal items. Check our Canoe Trip Planning page for a suggested list. And don't worry if you don't have a particular piece of clothing or forget your toothbrush, our stores are well stocked with camping accessories and quality travel clothing.

The Greenhorn Service
This service is included with Ultimate Outfitting and is an option for all Complete Outfitting customers who feel they might need a basic course in canoe trip skills. One of our staff will lead you on a three hour mini-trip and cover skills like camp set-up, food storage, portaging and paddling tips. Available by advance reservation only at Oxtongue Lake.

Optional "Guide for a Day" Service
If you are not sure that you need a guide for the whole trip but could use some help getting started, this innovative program could be just the ticket. Available as an option with Ultimate Outfitting only, this innovative program goes beyond our standard "Greenhorn Service." One of our experienced guides will accompany your group for the first day of your trip, helping you pack and prepare, reviewing the route in detail, assisting with permits and other pre-departure details. Along the way, the guide will teach skills like loading canoes, portaging techniques, paddling strokes, basic navigation, campsite selection and organization. Once you are safely established on your first site with dinner cooking, the guide will depart, allowing you to finish the trip on your own, with increased confidence and new found skills.

Please Note: Some route restrictions apply. "Guide for day" trips can start at Hwy 60 access points such as Smoke Lake, Cache Lake or Rock lake, all of which offer many canoe route options.

Cost
$295 plus GST per group (up to eight people), plus outfitting charges.
