Driftwood Paddle Algonquin

I had an amazing trip with the people from Driftwood and my close friends! Thinking back to the beautiful sights, fun swim locations, and dreamy starry skies, I couldn't think of a better place and better people to go with on trip! Definitely give this place a try because their staff is incredibly caring and talented! I will never forget my trip there and I hope there'll be more to come! Thank you so much Driftwood Paddle!

I had an amazing experience with Driftwood Paddle Algonquin. Chris promised an adventurous

Chris and the team at Driftwood Paddle are the perfect guides for this fun and transformational experience. Chris is in his element in a canoe and in the Algonquin terrain. He pushed us while allowing us the space to learn and grow. We ate well, were supplied with all the equipment we would need, and always felt safe. Reach out to Chris and Kieran and see how they can create an experience that will touch your soul!

Rented a canoe from driftwood paddle for a long weekend adventure. Chris welcomed us with a load of enthusiasm and was extremely helpful getting us setup and providing recommendations about our destination. That’s to his input, we ended up getting an incredible campsite. I would HIGHLY recommend using driftwood paddle - I certainly will be using their services again. Next time I’ll make use of the ping pong table before dropping in the canoe!

If any part of you urges to go, you are ready. Surrender to this experience because you can not even fathom what awaits you on the other side!There is a very good reason why Driftwood Paddle has 103 five star reviews at the time I am writing this. I have been on 3 trips with Driftwood and every adventure built on the last. On each of the journey's into Algonquin, the Kelly brothers (Chrisopher and Kieran) held space for me to learn, grow, and evolve. What I gained from these trips is a comprehensive understanding of survival in the wilderness and a much deeper connection with Mother Nature. It felt like a once in a lifetime experience but I'm grateful to know I am welcome back anytime with open arms and warm cider.

What a trip! The incredible team at Driftwood Paddle guided our group of 10, including four children under 10 years old, through a canoe and camping trip in Algonquin Park for three days and two nights. What made this trip truly special was our incredible host/guides that were some of the most welcoming people you will meet and also exceptional at their craft and also cooking in the bush! Would highly recommend it for a different experience and to recharge by getting away from all distractions both digital and social. Can’t say enough about the Driftwood Paddle organization and we will definitely be back.

A very personable place. Fast and extremely friendly service. Booking logistics were a breeze. We had some issues due to COVID and closure of parks, so the guys made it very easy to rebook and accommodate us! If you are hitting Northern Edge Algonquin - look no further as you found your one stop canoe rental place. We will be booking with this family owned and run business again!

If you’re looking for an epic northern Ontario back country adventure, trust Driftwood Paddle to deliver! They pointed us in the right direction and gave us tips to find the most beautiful Algonquin paradise and we had an unforgettable time. Whether you’re a first time canoe tripper looking for a guide or a pro looking to some gear, you won’t find friendlier, more knowledgeable guys to make sure your trip is perfect from start to finish. Thank you Driftwood Paddle for the magic that was ‘Magic Island’!!!

I would highly recommend Driftwood Paddle. To be honest I was hesitant about spending the weekend in Algonquin Park without a bed, running water, or a bathroom. It ended up being the best adventure and weekend I could have ever imagined. Chris our guide was incredible! Every meal was amazing and everyday a new adventure. I won't mention all of the amazing places he took us so I don't spoil it for others. There are very few surprises in life as Chris reminded us however; he managed to surprise us everyday! I have also never felt so mentally relaxed after a trip. As Chris kept telling our group the time doesn't matter and he was right. The everyday crazy life we all live stopped for 3 incredible days. Thank you Driftwood Paddle and Chris! Our group will be back. Kristina Crabbe
