Our Canoes

The canoe is mankind's oldest vessel. Although built in state-of-the-art materials, our Voyagers Cheemaun, Tidewing, Melody and Miranda and our small fleet of classic open canoes follow the same pattern as ancient birch-clad vessels used by our prehistoric ancestors to explore, hunt and trade the waterways.

"Just a brief note to thank you for a splendid trip on the river yesterday, it really was most enjoyable and the history of the riverside villages, wrecks and the like was extremely interesting  we all enjoyed it immensely...."  Bill

Voyager canoes happily embark small children and adult novices as well as suiting bold adventurers.

The youngest guest-crew so far was little Sarah, then 12 days old.  The eldest was Mr George, 87.
