One of the most unobtrusive and inspirational ways of exploring a wilderness area is by canoe or kayak. The only disturbance you bring is the sound of a paddle and the ripple of the water you float in, which makes for a closer encounter with wildlife than is possible on foot. A canoe can also allow you access to habitats and open water that you could not reach by any other means. We have created opportunities for wilderness exploration by canoe and sea kayak in some of the world’s greatest natural areas. These include the flooded forests of the Amazon, the Galapagos Islands, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Thailand and in search of Humpback Whales on the Pacific coast of South America. Many of these experiences are based out of comfortable wilderness lodges, so after a day in the elements you can relax in a hot shower, enjoy great food and a freshly made bed. In other places, we prepare Out of Africa style ‘fly camps’ for you en route. This can still provide you with a great deal of comfort and excellent food, but with the added fascination of experiencing the natural world by night as well as by day. At the most extreme, we have created an Amazon Jungle Bushcraft Survival Course located in the terra firme and flooded forests of Ecuador. You will of course be accompanied by experienced Amazon explorers including an indigenous Siona guide, but this is a learning experience in which your challenge is to become as self sufficient as possible in the midst of this vast river wilderness system.
