Why take this tour?

15 day guided wilderness canoe trip on the Big Salmon River, wildlife viewings from the seat of your canoe. the crackle of the campfire and learning new outdoor skills await you. Two Lakes give ample time to get acquainted with the new element. For the next 11 days we follow the path of the Big Salmon River. Over time we get used to the narrow river, tight bends and sometimes quick manoeuvrers. Sweepers and faster water alternates with more sedate sections. Seasoned paddlers and ambitious beginners alike will be inspired by this untouched wilderness river. As we float downstream we will be on the watch for moose and eagles. Beaver lodges are a common sight, King Salmon are coming up the river to spawn and swim right by the canoes. The last three days we float down the mighty Yukon River and get a glimpse of the gold rush days.
