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

 

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

Great Canadian is proud to have been sponsoring unique wild river & wildlife expeditions in the Far North since 1976.

Resting along the Thelon River

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

  ALL 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!
