Algonquin Photography Canoe Tour Adventure

A VIP private wildlife and landscape photography canoe tour. The history of Algonquin Park, Canoe Lake and Tom Thomson is also extensively covered.
Two adults (up to 210kg total) join the Algonquin Adventure Tours for 3 hours of interesting education, spectacular views, gourmet dining, fun stories and connecting with nature. Paddling Algonquin Park since 1981, and professionally guiding since 1996, Stuart has intimate knowledge of all things Algonquin.

An eco friendly 3hp electric motor get you across large sections of water. Stuart paddles in the tranquil areas. Your hands are free for photos or included HD binoculars.

Tom Thomson fans can literally walk in the famous artists footsteps when we visit his memorial and other locations. We use step stools for entering and exiting the canoe, so your feet don't need to get wet.

Any age ok. No smoking.
