Fantastic three day tour in our canoes and camping in an island. It was so well organised and tge food was delicious. We hiked to other lakes and canoed to separate islands discovering the North Tea Lake area. Terry was a fantastic guide and knowledgeable about the natural world, telling us about mushrooms and p natural remedies as well as animals in the area. He was also was a fantastic cook and super friendly. We would love to come back and do a longer tour. The camping was great as well and equipment was very good.

The trip was outstanding....the hotel was great, the guides for our Auroras hunting nights were pleasant, knowledgeable and fun. We got Auroras in the first five minutes on night one and we were thrilled!
