Boundary Waters Canoe Adventure | Fully Guided | All-Inclusive

Join us for an exhilarating, all inclusive, week-long paddle adventure through the wild heart of Northern Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA). Escape into a world where the sound of water lapping against your canoe is the only noise, and the untamed wilderness unfolds around you. Encounter moose, otters, beavers, wolves, eagles, and other majestic wildlife as you navigate through a pristine landscape far from the reach of civilization.

Our adventure begins Saturday evening, September 20th, in Grand Marais, MN, where we'll gather at a designated lodge to check gear and set our intentions for the journey ahead. Sunday morning, we embark on the ultimate wilderness expedition—50+ miles of stunning, remote lakes, winding through lush forests and rugged terrain. Along the way, we’ll spend a few days laying over in camp, sharpening our outdoor skills, fishing, and reconnecting with nature. Each day starts with a hearty breakfast and a sense of excitement as we break camp, ready to paddle and portage our lightweight tandem canoes across several beautiful lakes and challenging portage trails. Teamwork is key as we work together to transport gear, gather firewood, and manage camp tasks.

We believe in adventure without compromise, especially when it comes to food. While others may settle for cliff bars and ramen, we craft mouthwatering ultra-lite meals such as BBQ pork spaghetti, fruit and yogurt parfaits, steak fajitas, and more. Of course, fresh-caught fish is always an option. Special dietary needs? No problem. Just let us know—we’ve got you covered.

This adventure is rated Challenging and is best suited for those with previous paddling and camping experience. You should be comfortable in the water and in a canoe. You will need appropriate gear as recommended per a provided gear list. Everyone will be expected to contribute to camp life—portaging gear, paddling across the waterways, and working together to make each day an unforgettable experience. Expect to carry 50-60 pounds of gear for short distances over rugged portage trails. The pace will be relaxed at times, but we’ll also push ourselves to meet the challenges of the wild. With two full rest days built into the trip, you'll have time to fish, swim, and embrace the serene beauty of this wilderness paradise.
