Next, you hit the water! Destination - the backcountry woods. After a short orientation, we will cross through multiple lakes and a couple portages to arrive at our secluded campsite.

02 Exploring Algonquin

Good morning camper! After a hearty breakfast and a warm coffee overlooking the lake, day two will be dedicated to some relaxation and exploration. Prepare to be amazed by the serenity of Canadian lakes surrounded by deep forest for as long as the eye can see. Your Tryp Leader will guide you through a canoe route designed to appreciate the incredible wildlife Algonquin Park offers. Keep your eyes open, you might get lucky and spot a moose!

Before dark, we’ll be back at our campsite where we can start preparing dinner and appreciating a gorgeous sunset. The rest of the night will be spent roasting marshmallows and singing kumbaya!

Meet Kimo: A backcountry camping lover based in Toronto.

“I’ve been going to Algonquin since I was a kid. This trip isn’t light but it is absolutely accessible to first time campers who are interested in adventure. The weekend is about simplicity, we explore on our canoes, jump in the water, prepare our feels, lie under the stars. We’re disconnecting from tech and city life to truly reconnect with nature.”

“So glad I got to cross off backcountry camping from my Canadian bucketlist!”

“Kimo was so accommodating and made sure we were safe and properly guided while we were in the back country. The trip was amazingly done, everything went really well. I met other solo travelers and had such a great time. So glad I got to cross off backcountry camping from my Canadian bucketlist!”
