ABOUT THIS REGION  CANOEING - RIVER TRIPS

Canoeing expedition on the Liard River

Join your guides on this great canoeing expedition on the rarely traveled upper reaches of the mighty Liard River. A float plane will bring you to Caribou Lakes where we'll spend our first 2 nights. Before you set out on the river, you will practice your paddling strokes, explore the small lakes, fish and hike and enjoy the quiet of this remote wilderness. During your first day on the river you will travel down Caribou Creek, a small and shallow creek where you may have to line the canoe. The crystal clear water, great fishing, ample wildlife including a wide variety of birds make this trip very special indeed.

Canoeing expedition on the Liard River

This is the perfect trip for guests who want to get out in the wilderness quickly - without the hassle of long transfers to and from your destination. On the June tour, you will enjoy many Yukon wild flowers and the midnight sun. In August - September, we'll have opportunities to see and photograph vivid fall colors and relax around a campfire in the evenings and maybe catch the Northern Lights. This tour offers the option of adding on a 3 night stay at a wilderness lodge in the southern Yukon, after the canoe trip.
