Experience the diverse and largely untouched
wilderness of the southeast Yukon on a guided canoe or hiking
trip with us. Unique multi-day excursions will take you to
remote lakes, down unknown rivers and along mystic trails. We are very
familiar with the land and waterways of the area, and will gladly share
our knowledge of nature and history with you. On our tours, we will be
travelling in small groups of like-minded people, and we'll have plenty
of time to experience the many pleasures of the region. We will sleep
in tents, cook over an open fire and experience sun, wind and weather
first-hand. There is always a chance of rewarding animal encounters,
as the tour passes by pristine lakes, rivers and mountains day after
day, on a journey that will become an unforgettable experience of a
lifetime. You also can spend some relaxing days in the comfort of the
lodge before or after your trip.
Your full enjoyment, safety and comfort is our
primary motivation and concern, therefore:
- all tours are personally guided by
lodge owners Andrea
and/or Martin Laternser
- we are experienced, licensed wilderness
guides and First Aid-certified
- we only take small groups (a maximum of 7
guests on each trip)
