Here’s what to expect from your all-expenses adventure trip to Ontario:

Your first days will be spent in the luxury of one of Toronto’s best hotels. From here, you’ll venture north into the Algonquin Provincial Park and pick up basic canoeing skills. Taking advantage of Ontario’s network of canoe and kayak routes – the longest in the world – you’ll enjoy guided tours and learn all about the wonderful waterways that you spend the day paddling through.

Out of your canoe, you’ll be free to stroll into the forests that shoulder the water or dip in a hot tub. Food will include campfire barbeques, and is sure to taste fantastic after hours spent exploring Ontario’s rivers and woods.

This location is known for panoramic views across the lake’s tranquil waters: perfect after a day of adventuring.
