10 person Voyageur Canoes

Voyageur Canoes are historic large canoes used to carry groups of Voyageurs or Courier de Bois as they explored the Canadian Wilderness to trade with First Nations People.  Similar to Native War Canoes, Voyageur Canoes were the best way to swiftly carry many people & cargo long distances through the wilderness.

Voyageur Canoes are a good alternative to slow moving Grand River rafting trips. Voyageurs are very stable, quick & easy to paddle plus provide a historically accurate way to Travel a Canadian Heritage River. One of our experienced Big Canoe guides always joins your group, takes the stern & steers our Voyageur Canoes on your trip.

• Day trips in our 12 person Voyageur Canoes are ideal way for any group of enthusiasts &/or novices to experience the camaraderie of the Voyageurs exploring the wilderness.
• No special skills are required as an expert guide accompanies each Voyageur Canoe to steer these safe, stable, comfortable canoes.
• Your guide will point out flora & fauna and tell stories of the river's history to make sure your group gets the full Voyageur Experience.
