Hi Paul,

I just realized that I never sent you a note to thank you for organizing a fantastic dog sledding adventure. So here's my belated thank you.
My friend and I had an exhilarating time navigating through the northern end of Algonquin Park. The whole process was rather seamless and we were in capable hands at the recommended accommodations and our dog sledding guide, Reiss.

After seeing the photos from my trip, my retired father is planning to go dog sledding this winter.

Thanks very much for organizing yet another fantastic ( 2 day) dog sledding trip. Valarie and I were impressed as always with the outcome and our guests from Australia had an absolute blast.

Hi Paul - thanks for the great ( 3 day dog sledding) adventure weekend - we had a really amazing time with the dogs and being up north!! The guides and all the set up were great too!

Hey Paul!

Thank you for the enjoyable trip (3 day Georgian Bay Kayak). I feel like I came from the weekend recharged and well trained. Although challenging at times (paddling the waves) I was proud of what I was able to accomplish. I learnt many interesting tips regarding wilderness camping and enjoyed the food immensely.

Thank you as well for beginning to show me the Eskimo rescue.

We did wish to say how well Allee (your canoe guide) looked after our group. She is a true professional indeed. The dynamics were great and the trip (4 Day Algonquin Canoe Adventure) was enjoyed by all.

Hi Paul.

Just a quick note to let you know that I had a great time this past weekend (on the 3 Day Algonquin Canoe Adventure). For my first time canoeing I learned a lot from Kevin (our guide / instructor). I also wanted to comment that I thought your trip preparation for us was excellent. The portages were great, the food was excellent and the scenery was awesome! Thank you.

I am still looking to book a 1 day dog sledding adventure in January or Feb, so I will be in touch soon.

Hi Paul,

Had a great time again this year (5 day Dog Sled Adventure) with the dogs and dog people. I got to learn alot more and I had tons of fun... it was only two of us with a guide so we made alot of ground and did some exploring....looking foreward to the 11 day the Moosonee Trip next season.

Hi Paul

Belatedly I'd like to say what a great time we had on our Wilderness Adventure trip in September ............. Barry was a great guide and so very kind, tolerant and helpful!! .............
Thanks again, and here's hoping we can come back one day and do another trip.

Paul,

I would like to express my thanks and compliment John, our instructor; on the excellent job he did teaching myself and my son. John was fantastic and a pleasure to be taught by. One of the greatest weekends ever!! We now have the white water bug – just a huge adrenalin Rush! Loved ever minute even though it was hard work and very thorough. Learned more about white water canoeing in that one weekend then I could have possibly imagined. Again, FANTASTIC job by John.

Hi Paul,

Sam and I would like to say what an amazing time we had on the Algonquin Park Canoe trip week before last! (6 day Algonquin Canoe Adventure). We had no idea what to expect and the trip turned out to be better than imagined!!

The week was so well planned and we felt so well fed (the food was delicious) and comfortable the whole trip! We learnt so much about canoeing and camping and had so much fun along the way!

A great deal of the enjoyment we owe to (your guide) Barry. He is a genuinely nice guy and was so patient and friendly with us…especially when most of us had never set foot in a canoe before or even put up a tent!! His breakfasts and dinners were delicious and we looked forward to our evening meal and chit chat after a day of canoeing and portage!! :)

It was one of our favourite holidays and we would definitely recommend the trip to our friends and family!

Kind regards, Claire & Sam E.
UK

***************************************************************************************************************

The trip was absolutely amazing (6 day Algonquin Canoe Adventure). I've done few "trips" in the past but nothing quite like this! Many thanks to (your guide) Barrie who was brilliant in every regard. PS can I claim to be the oldest to have done one of your canoe weeks at 77 !

I just wanted to thank you Cris and Frank for an excellent time on our 5 Day Georgian Bay trip! I don't think I have really ever had a better time camping and kayaking! I shall be looking into a new adventure.

Thanks from, Andrew R.

Dear Paul,

I just wanted to say thanks for a hugely enjoyable trip out to Algonquin. My friend Barbara and I went out on the 2 / 4 August canoe trip with Greg as our guide and we had an absolute blast - it was so well arranged, the canoeing, camp, food, all was excellent.We'd heartily recommend Wilderness Adventures to anyone coming to Ontario. Keep up the good work!

Hi Paul,

I trust this finds you well. You may recall I was on the 3 day Algonquin Park interior canoe trip from May 17 - 19 earlier this year. Thanks for the memories we still gloat about it to everyone....... I am interested in doing some other trips with you.

***************************************************************************************************************

Paul: I just wanted to compliment your instructor (John) for the tandem 1a course. He was very thorough. Even though I have been paddling for 35 years, I certainly was humbled by his expertise. His instructional techniques were absolutely exceptional. Our personal group of 4 ranged in ages from 13-46. The other 4 in the group possessed canoeing skills ranging from very inexperienced to experienced (but none experienced in whitewater). I have taken and instructed (academically) in over 80 courses. John clearly is one of the best instructors I have had the pleasure to learn from. I do not have a single criticism of the entire weekend-course. Thank you for an incredible experience.

Yours Truly, Daryl G.

Hi Paul,

We're now a week removed from beautiful Georgian Bay, and a memorable weekend. On behalf of our group, I would like to personally thank WildernessAdventures.ca - including yourself and Dympna. We had the time of our lives.

In only a few days, I feel we became good friends. The ORCA certification was a bonus, and the memories will last a lifetime. I can't wait until my next kayaking adventure. I know you will be seeing us next year for the 5 day Kayak trip! I want to do the DogSledding with my kids as well - I'll contact you in the fall.

Thank you all for the great time spend at Algonquin. I remember each one of you and want you all to know that have a friend here in Puerto Rico.

I specially want to thanks Dave (our guide) for the wonderful days we spend together and all I learn from him. Also I like to let Paul McCormick know what a special guide Dave is, and the great impression and satisfaction I have from your company. Right now I'm planning my next adventure with your company. Hopefully for the summer of 2005.

Adermin F.

(Adermin then wrote back after his second trip with us to say):

Just want you to know that the Tatshenshini River Trip was the most incredible and fantastic experience I ever had. Everything was very well organized, the food just impressive and delicious, the guides very well trained and knowledgeable and the fun never ending.

Surely I will be counting with your company for future adventures.

Alderman F.

***************************************************************************************************************

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Palmer Rapids this past weekend. Barry is a first rate instructor with an immense amount of valuable knowledge and with the patience, guidance and encouragement that made the course truly worthwhile.

I know that we are now in a far better position for our upcoming French River trip than we were before the weekend. This is in terms of our ability to manoeuver in moving water, to read the complexities of a current and also in terms of what type of equipment we should be using for our trip. On top of it all we had a fantastic time.

Thank you very much for making such a great expience available to us.

My friends would like to join me to thank you for this wonderful and unforgettable canoe trip...... We have learned so much and appreciate the beauties of this natural wilderness. Your professionalism has been really a plus during the trip, by the way at every moment we didn't worry about problems that could happen because you were here at everytime to say what to do and what not to do. The food was delightful and the camp very comfortable.

Thank you so much for being such a lovely partner during this awesome canoe trip.

We had a wonderful time (on the 5 Day Georgian Bay 30,000 Islands Kayak Adventure), and have many good memories of the group we were with.

Thank you for organizing everything for us.

The beauty and tranquility of Georgian Bay go a long way to ease the frustrations and tensions of living in an urban setting. I will always miss the Bay --it's truly an unique environment, and one I feel privileged to have been part of for a week.

On the 6 day canoe trip your guide Barry was dedicated and passionate about the wilderness and its preservation. This came out loud and clear in Barry's methods, keeping sites clean, teaching us to do so, sterilizing techniques, etc., giving moose wide birth yet opportunity to photograph, food collection at night and storage away from tents etc..

The location was very attractive and the campsites well chosen. Sites had jumping rocks for swimming, beaches, lots of room for all five tents rare in other parts of the park. The layover day at Misty Lake was good for lessons. We lucked into good weather too. Sighting the moose and a calf, hawks, ravens, herons, snapping turtle, and muskrat added to the new experience for the international visitor. You can't guarantee it but again the choice of location sure helps.

The equipment was excellent, top of the line tents easy to assemble, light kevlar canoes and the air mattress idea worked better than I expected. The dry bags worked well and the barrels kept our food cool with the wet towel method. Some of the food selected was perfect providing a balanced meal for a variety of international tastes.

I want to emphasize I really enjoyed the trip, and realize there are some logistics which make the trip the challenge it is. Barry contributed significantly in all our canoe tripping knowledge and paddling technique and I am sure he will be a great asset in the future.

Thanks again for providing a fun summer escape.

Paul - I wanted to thank for our dog sledding trip last weekend. We had alot of laughs and our guides (Mike and Don) were fantastic, we all really enjoyed them....We appreciate everything our guides tried to do to make our experience better, again they were great. We have a fantastic group of friends and go on different adventures every year. We are glad we didn't miss this one.
Thank you again

Hi Paul,

I wanted to send some pictures and you can put some on your site....well, where do I start!!! When my friends said "Hey lets go Dog
Sledding" I thought why not...I will only probably have this one chance so why not try it. Was I ever wrong!!! One time is not in any way and
at any time a way to describe dog sledding. I was amazed at how much I enjoyed my 2 day trip. If someone told me I would enjoy being pulled
around by a bunch of dogs and sleeping outside in a tent in the winter, I would have told them they where crazy. But they would be right.

From the beginning of an experience to remember Friday night at the Algonquin Motel (A must for the first timer!!) then the warm welcome we
received on Sat. morning.

From learning how to hook up the dog's to gathering wood from a forest of fresh fallen snow, I can not describe the feelings I felt. I had an
experience that I will treasure forever and am already planning my trip for next year.

Our guides Mike and Don where amazing. From answering questions about everything to their patience with the 12 of us . I must also admit Mike was a great cook!! You could feel their love for the sport and they also spoke very highly of Paul the owner, informing us he was the gentleman in the pick up that met every group and new every dog by name. This shows that it is a passion and love, not just a business.

I would also like to say thank you to you Paul, helping us to prepare for our trip and the friendly greeting we received from you personally
made us feel like a valued client. Also don't forget the lady's in the kitchen for the amazing Chilli.

Thank you for an experience that I look forward to again,

Hello Paul

First of all I wanted to thank you for a great week end : Arnaud and I had an amazing time thanks to you, your great organization and thanks to Walt who did an amazing job guiding us, teaching us the canoe basics and most of all sharing his experience of the wilderness with us. Thank you!

Please keep sending us updates on the tours that you are organizing: I am sure we will participate again, hopefully very soon!

By the way, I must say that I was very surprised to see this type of knife in a canoe trip in the Algonquin: this brand is very old and is from the French Alps and I did not know this type of knifes even made it out of the France… I am glad to see they made it to “Wilderness Adventures” !!!

Thank you again for a great trip,

My recent trip to Algonquin Park with Wilderness Adventures.CA was a life-changing experience. Although the trip was demanding in many ways, I can honestly say that it was the most incredible experience of my life. The people on this trip were so special and the eight of us formed a bond that will see friendships grow for years to come.

Jeff, our guide, was instrumental in making this trip the huge success that it was. He worked tirelessly from morning to night, cooking, cleaning, setting up pulleys, planning meals, patiently teaching us how to survive in the wild, teaching us to paddle and portage, repeatedly answering the same questions, taking the time to demonstrate and explain. He is an exceptional young man with great leadership, wisdom and patience. I wanted to send a special thank you to Jeff and to let him know that I am grateful to him for helping me to accomplish one of my life goals. I know that I could not have done it without his encouragement and guidance.

Thank you Paul for providing e-mails and pictures. They are much appreciated.

I would also like to express my appreciation for the vast amount of knowledge that you bestowed upon your students. I thoroughly enjoyed not only learning about kayaking, but the information about the tents, sleeping bags, hoisting of edible products, and the wildlife.

Despite the fact that you are a visual teacher, and I am an auditory/kinesthetic learner it was still a memorable experience for me, and again I would like to reiterate that I appreciate your patience. I gleaned far more knowledge than I had anticipated.

You have wet my appetite with this wilderness adventure and it is an experience I hope to repeat in the near future.

Paul - a quick note to express how enjoyable our trip was (Belize Coral Islands Kayak). From start to finish it was fantastic. The caving experience was unbelievable; it was something out of an Indiana Jones movie. The kayaking and camping was all I hoped it would be. The camp sites were great, the guides (Andrew & Omar) were top flight, the food was fantastic & will attribute the excellent weather to you and yours as well. It was the right blend of activity & relaxation.

Walt- It was a pleasure meeting you and spending the most extraordinary three days (Algonquin Park Canoe) of my life under your guidance. You have made the trip exceeded beyond my expectations as well as Antoine. It was not only because of the beautiful unspoilt nature as that was expected, but having you as the guide and mentor for that nature experience is beyond perfect.

You are such a wonderful guide that made me feel safe as well as your fascinating knowledge about nature and camping have kept me alive and enthusiastic throughout the trip. Therefore, the extraordinary three days of my life was due to the unleashing unexpected side of me which I know that I have always had.

I am not surprised that I loved being out there (on the 3 Day Algonquin Canoe Trip), it was just a matter of time and your package deal was what I needed. But I really appreciate the way you showed us how to do it not only well, safely and properly, but with style. (My son) Viktor Hugo marched off to school rather proudly with his beaver stick... and great memories of what I am pretty sure was the start to our canoeing lifestyle.

You are very fortunate to have both of these guides on your team.

Somewhat belatedly I wanted to thank you for organizing a wonderful trip for me and my family last summer. I was very impressed with the organization that went into making the trip such a success. The camping equipment that you supplied, particularly the excellent tents and air mattresses, made this one of the most comfortable trips that I have ever taken. I also enjoyed seeing the less traveled western end of Algonquin Park for the first time.

This was the first time that my whole family (my wife, 17 year old daughter and 15 year old son) went camping together. In the past, I have always found the thought of getting everything organized to be too daunting. Thanks to your experience and organization, all we had to do was show up with our bedrolls and enthusiasm.

We also enjoyed our group, especially Jeff as guide. Jeff had just the right attributes to keep everyone happy. He was great with the teenagers (not an easy task) and kept them engaged throughout the trip. Without our blackberries, cell phones and video games, we all managed to relax and take great satisfaction from the outdoor life. The entire experience was regenerative for everyone.

I am interested in signing up again this year for the 6 day Algonquin Park trip starting on August 19.

experience. Our guide was a wonderful resource of knowledge, skills, strenght and devotion. Truly someone we could count on and look to for guidance and everything else we needed. She made our trip. I want to thank you also for providing the food and equipment which were very much appreciated. Your organization seems to have thought of every detail.

Paul,

I was fortunate to have been with you and the rest of the tour August 14 to the 16th in Algonquin Park. It was a great experience!

I believe I was provided with the best guidance, instruction and equipment available. I also feel that I could not have been in safer hands nor have been given a better opportunity to achieve new canoeing and camping skills. You created the opportunity and means for us to challenge ourselves and inspired the desire and effort required to succeed at many tasks and burdens that may have been a bit more difficult that expected.
It was a pleasure spending those few days with you and the others.

I am seriously considering the 3 day Georgian Bay Kayak excursion for next year - without the fishing rod.

Thanks again

Hi Paul,

Once again, I wanted to thank you for our 3 Day Algonquin Canoe trip. Despite the rain, my Dad and I had a great time. Our experience was memorable, and I learned much more adding to the knowledge from my first trip with you. The gear was top notch, food was delicious, and scenery was awesome. I feel confident I can do this with my family now. I am planning to see you again next year for the 5 Day Kayak, and maybe more.

The dogs were incredible to work with. Many thanks again for the experience.

Hi Paul - just wanted to drop you a line now we're back in the uk with a bump. A really big thank you from all of us for the amount of driving you did i.e. dropping us off one day and picking us up the next . I know you've heard it all before, but the dog sledding was the most amazing experience ever - it was nature at its rawest, the thrill of the sleds as they zip through the forest and the complete silence of those beautiful dogs (well that is until we stopped and they barked and howled to urge us on) and none of us can quite settle since we've been back home - and thats just after one day!

Suffice to say we had an absolutely fabulous time husband Geraint wants us to do the two day one next!!

Thank you so much for sending the pictures .......I had another amazing trip...I wish I was back out there with the dogs! Maybe I should just get a job with you, lol.

So thank you for everything you've done...I will definately be back next year!!! I'm still working on my hudband to go on the Moosonee trip:) But I would do any trip and I would be just as happy!
