Canoeing & Kayaking on some of the most
remote wilderness waters of Northern Canada

 

The magical relationship between the paddler, boat, and the waters they navigate is powerful & unexplainable -
it simply just
'is'.

Great Canadian is proud to have been sponsoring unique wild river & wildlife expeditions in the Far North since 1972.

Resting along the Thelon River

We offer a variety of wilderness expeditions each season on a variety of remote Northern Canadian rivers. Our canoe trips vary in length and duration and offer different degrees of tripping expertise. 

  Many of our unique river expeditions are escorted by some of the best naturalist / canoe trip leaders available in the North, and accordingly these expeditions are educational and rich with natural and native history, archaeology, great fishing and incredible wildlife exposures!
