mackenzie river canoe trip, mackenzie river, north star adventuresPackage Brochure (English version)

Package Season: June 26 to September 20

Package Details:

Paddle one of the longest rivers in the world, and the longest river in Canada, the Mackenzie River! Leave the hustle and bustle of the modern world behind for a life changing northern Canada canoeing, camping and genuine Indigenous cultural experiences! Our canoe expeditions will take thru the scenic and historic “Dehcho” and “Sahtu” regions of the Northwest Territories.

What makes our canoe expeditions unique from other companies is we incorporate elements of our Indigenous culture into each day of the expedition! Each group will have a support boat accompany them from start to end and will provide a safety service, bear monitor service, cargo service and are our Knowledge Keepers of the land who will share stories of the land, about life in the old days and about our culture.

If you’re wanting to do a paddling expedition in the wilderness of northern Canada and experience genuine Indigenous culture at the same time then our canoeing expeditions are for you! We offer 9 trip options including 2 “Women’s Only Retreat” expeditions!

We offer 2 price options for each expedition with the exception of our “Women’s Only Retreat” expeditions. We have our all-inclusive expeditions, the highlight of these packages is the infusion of our cultural into each day of the tour.

For those wanting to just enjoy the isolation and tranquility of canoeing expedition and the one on  one connection to Mother Nature, we have our “canoe only” packages. These do not include our support boat, does not include hotel or meals to and from the actual river trip. This would be more for the “minimalist” or “survivor” type of adventurer.  Bookings must be made 60 days before tour package date.

*NEW & EXCITING NEWS* for our upcoming 2021 season! 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of Treaty 11 between the Government of Canada and the Indigenous peoples of the Deh Cho and Sahtu regions!
