"A great mix of physical exertion and just enough down time.  The guides care about the land we travelled through and the nature all around.  The Canadian Shield has spectacular views and this trip is the only way to see it.  Just what I needed and wanted.  It couldn't have been better."  Andrew Fox, Wales
