Canoe to your own Island

Private canoe trip to your own remote island in the Athabasca River near Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada. We supply the canoe, camping equipment and the logistics.

The Alaska Highway from Edmonton to Fairbanks crosses the mighty Athabasca River in the town of Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada. Hundreds of islands, big and small, dot the river, none are inhabited, very few ever see a canoe or other boat.

For this private canoe trip we meet in Edmonton or in Whitecourt where you can safely park your car or RV for a few days. From there we drive you to the Athabasca River, load the canoes and then the guide paddles with you to a deserted island, helps to set up camp and leaves you alone to deal with the surprises and challenges mother nature might throw at you. After the pre-determined time we pick you up for the return back to civilization.

This private canoe trip in Canada is easily combined as an add-on adventure for your RV holiday, or as a break during your travel along the iconic Alaska Highway.

Canoe to your own island

The total group price for 2 or 3 persons is CDN$ 2820.00.
We meet in Edmonton or Whitecourt where you can safely park your car or motorhome for the next few days. From there we drive you and your friends or family to the Athabasca River to load the canoes. All gear and equipment are stowed in the guide’s and your canoes. You paddle one or two hours downstream and once you find the perfect island the guide helps to set up the camp, fireplace and toilet facility and to get you established on your island. Then she or he paddles away in one of the canoes. The second canoe is not needed until the guide returns. For the next few days you fend for yourself, surrounded by forests, the sounds of the river, the northern lights and starry sky at night. You keep your island pristine and undisturbed, there is no need to cut down trees, hunting is not allowed at all, no garbage is to be left behind. When the guide returns, the camp is broken down, cleaned up to leave as few traces as possible and loaded into the boats. Now you follow the guide in your canoe a few kilometers down-stream to the take-out point. Here the car or bus is waiting for the drive back to Edmonton.
