The great thing about taking guided canoe tours is that you have an opportunity when doing so to learn from some pretty experienced wilderness guides. The people who take you out on canoes in remote parts of Canada and Alaska live in a part of the world that very few people ever get to experience, and the wealth of knowledge and expertise is usually staggering. There's an incredible amount to learn about the natural world that most people never bother to learn, and these guys are a great source.

Guided canoe tours in the Yukon offer up a great example of how this is true. The Yukon area of Canada and Alaska--with Whitehorse as its capital city--is home to a tremendous variety of flora and fauna. This is an ecology that has been functioning, almost completely untouched by man, for millions of years. Visitors to the area will witness a complex ecology in a delicate and rich balance.

Guided Canoe Tours--Accessible to Everyone
Guided canoe tours can be gentle, pleasant affairs, or they can be strenuous adventures, all depending on the desires of the travelers. The Yukon offers something for everybody, with calm, serene waters, rivers with strong currents, and swiftly moving rivers with rapids. Day trips are available for travelers who wish to travel less, and longer trips of several days or more for more eager explorers.

Fish, bird life and various other animals fill up the Yukon area, and offer an exciting highlight for travelers. Guided canoe tours can expose you to beaver, muskox, caribou, bears, wolves, wolverines, goats and more. You can also combine guided canoe tours with other tours, and go horseback riding, hiking and camping.
