“Nordic Odyssey were great in giving us some flexibility due to weather challenges it was going to be a little breezy. We wanted to go so they adapted the time to fit the predictions. It was a great decision. Pierre our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was patient and relaxed. We’re in our late 50’s with little canoeing experience but we loved being on the water, in the peace and quiet. There was birdlife, some interesting narrow passages and the autumn colours were amazing. Pierre provided some pastries and a welcome warm beery drink. Thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it highly.”
