It was an amazing adventure.. one we’ll never forget. Our guide Shungo was fantastic, so fun, entertaining us with his stories of the north and so informative. Leo, his helper was great too.. always ready to help with whatever we needed. This trip is not for the faint hearted but so worth it if you want to know more about Canada’s north, gold mining and the indigenous people.

We were two Belgian families with no experience both with canoeing and camping, but our guide Mason ('amazing Mason') took us under his wings. It resulted in a great trip (good food, nice views and some adventure). Thanks a lot!
