Such a fantastic company!
The really go above and beyond to make sure their customers are happy and satisfied! We recently had a big trip to Algonquin and ordered about 20 tents plus kayaks, sleeping bags, etc. The 2 staff members who made the delivery, Oceanna and Caleb, didn’t just drop off our order, NO they stayed and set up all our tents and even helped deliver them to the individual campsites and made sure everything was good before they left! They were so kind and helpful and polite. We were so grateful.

Great as always
We've used them for a complete outfitting package every year for the past 7+ and they nail it every time. Gear is top-notch, the logistics, planning, and packing are excellent, and customer service is great with friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Very Prompt & Professional Service
I was very satisfied with the service I received from Nick and Kyle down by the Lake of Two Rivers beach this morning. They were very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed for a safe and relaxing canoe adventure. They even helped us get off shore and gave us recommendations for different sight seeing opportunities on the lake.

AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY
After an exhausting workweek, arriving at Algonquin Park for our canoe trip was a breeze, all thanks to Oceania and her impeccable planning. Everything was packed and ready to go; it was pure convenience. The food was thoughtfully packaged, and the abundance of gear ensured we were more than prepared. In fact, we probably could have opted for a smaller package. An unforgettable journey, filled with cherished memories. Only hitch? Oceania, how could you forget the coffee? All in all, a trip I'd recommend to anyone.
