What Others Say
I have done multiple courses and paddling trips with Elements Adventure Company, over a period of several years. I could not recommend the company and its employees more highly!

Canoe Trips
Home »
Exploring Canada’s waterways in a canoe is one of the most unique and meaningful ways to experience the outdoors.
In fact, it’s an iconic Canadian activity!
Our canoeing expeditions are designed as much as a school as a typical guided trip. In welcoming full participation from our clients, our intention is that paddlers will emerge from our multi-day trips fully prepared, knowledgeable, and capable of leading their own personal river-canoeing expeditions.

Why Choose a Guided Canoeing Trip instead of Exploring On Your Own?
- Treat yourself to slow down and take it all in. There is great freedom and value in having someone else be responsible and constantly vigilant about what may await around every corner! Joining a guided trip allows you more space and energy to fully participate in your trip, enjoy the people you’re with and truly take in every breathtaking moment of your adventure.
- Relax and know that the meal planning and preparation is being taken care of. Our guided expeditions include all meals. After a long day of paddling, it can be a truly marvelous thing to sit by the river and relax while dinner is being prepared for you.
- For the majority of people, the river environment is the largest surprise on a canoeing trip. Our certified guides will ensure that everyone is comfortable with the environment and learn necessary skills to confidently navigate the river.
- Play more! Stop and surf the fun waves and play with river features a bit more than you might on your own self-guided trip. It is easier to truly play knowing that that you have skilled guides as back-up to rescue you in the event that you dump.
- Canoeing can be tricky sport to learn, and each river has many new things to teach us. Our guides are great teachers that are happy to pass on canoeing knowledge so you can improve your skills. Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions or ask to spend half a day in a boat with them!
- Thinking about buying your own outfitted whitewater canoe? Want to try out that Canyon, Dagger or Prospectueur on a trip before you buy your own? Rent one of our high quality boats for your scheduled excursion!
- We are here to support you through our partnership with Western Canoe and Kayak. Our guided expeditions come with a 15% savings for accessories in the store to help you prepare for your trip.
