All Inclusive Guided Canoe Trips & Wilderness Skills Training

For the record, Joey is one of the most capable and engaged guides I have ever paddled with.

I just finished unpacking from the Noire River trip and wanted to send a huge THANK YOU for this opportunity to try a trip with MHO. I really had no idea what to expect (although I was very excited leading up to it!) but this week was just amazing. I learned so much from Jake and Micah and had a great time with everyone on the trip. This was definitely just the first of many more whitewater trips in my future as the rapids are so much fun!  I only have 1 word to describe my trip and that is incredible! Thank you so much for this opportunity! ...

While I’m really looking forward to sleeping in my clean, comfy bed (especially with the storm on the horizon....had to work thru some PTSD on that), I would be lying if I said we are not feeling a bit homesick for another night in the woods with you all. We spent a large chunk of our drive home reminiscing about what a fantastic week that was....

I’ve just paddled the Missinaibi with Paul Kirtley.  Your food was absolutely amazing - we might be away from some luxuries of life, but definitely did not miss out on quality food.  The variety was fantastic. Thank you very much. It was brilliant, as was the whole outfitting setup. ...

Erin, I expect that you have had a report about our trip from Emy and Noemie. I hope they enjoyed themselves as much as we did. They were superb guides who worked nonstop to make our family trip memorable. They were diplomatic and not intimidated by our group which included some experienced outdoor enthusiasts. Brenda and I have paddled the Dumoine 4x’s before going back 43 years!. Not easy to please everyone all the time and maintain discipline with a group notorious for individualism. The analogy to herding cats would not do credit to their skills to lead while gently but firmly set standards. It didn’t take long for them to win over the family. Not every day that a guide has the challenge of managing very small children with older grandparents, one of whom was hardly able to walk just a few weeks before. Hats off to them and to their employers' staff selection and training. The arrangements and cuisine were also flawless and memorable. The last comment from my son today at YYZ was ‘best visit home ever”! That is saying something.  Thank  you and hope to travel with MHO again....
