After packing up barrels and dry bags, you'll take off in a minibus that will bring you up the river, far from civilization. Depending upon the river you choose, the duration of the bus ride will range from one to two hours through back country roads. You may make a few stops to enjoy the spectacular beautiful scenery along the way.
At the starting point on the river, you'll be amazed at the wildness of the area where you'll spend 2 days in. Your guide will carefully pack the canoes or kayaks with your supplies for the trip. With everything in order in the boats, you'll be fully equipped and prepared on the river. Afterwards, your guide will give you an appropriate briefing of the techniques needed to steer your boat down the river so you can get the best experience possible.
This personal tour is adapted to your preferences. The same river can be approached several ways depending on whether you’re looking to relax and talk about history, nature interpretation or outdoor knowledge. Those who are more adventurous might want to practice different techniques of paddling and play in rapids to gain a great understanding of the dynamics of river currents.
You might stop at waterfalls, take a trail up a mountain to see beautiful viewpoints, or run into wild animals. To make sure you don’t run out of energy, snacks are prepared by your guide and available throughout the trip. When you stop for lunch, you’ll be surprised at the preparation taken in selecting local and healthy products. Pasta salads, cheese, vegetables with dips, smoke salmon, wraps - name it and your guides will make it possible. The meals you’ll eat are elaborate and people are often surprised to see what will get going on the fire. For supper, there’s always a 3-course meal that includes either a soup or appetizer, a main dish and a dessert. You'll cook fish on the fire, steaks, pork chops, seafood pasta, pizza’s and the list goes on.
Once at the campsite, tents are lifted up and tarps are brought up to where the meals are cooked. Make yourself comfortable and appreciate the simpleness of nature. Mattresses are provided for you to sleep comfortably. You can choose to bring your own sleeping bag or use one that's supplied.
On a clear night, look up at the stars and absolutely no light pollution is present on the rivers. The next morning, you’ll wake up to the smell of fresh coffee and fruits before eating a breakfast that will give you the energy to spend another day on the river.
