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.

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.  But the eldest was Mr George, 87.
