Canada 150
GLAMPING IN ALGONQUIN
Overview
Get the real canadian experience by joining our glamping trip to Algonquin Park!
We will be staying in yurts by Mew Lake. Yurts are eight-sided, tent-like structures are mounted on a wooden deck floor and offer electric heat. These structures can sleep up to 6 people. So if you are not fan of camping, you should definitely try glamping!
If you’re looking for some time to enjoy solitude, tranquility and dark night skies than you will not be disappointed!
We will be hiking, canoeing, swimming (the brave ones) and roast marshmallows over the campfire.
We will leave Toronto on Friday evening and after checking in to our yurts, we will have dinner and drinks together around the campfire.
We will be hiking and canoeing for two days.
Yurts Accommodation
-
accommodate up to 6 people bunk beds (2 sets – each with single & double bed, and a vinyl-covered futon mattress)
-
Please note, that the accommodation will be mixed (man and woman) and you might have to share double bed with another person (same sex) if you are single travellers. However 4 single beds will be available so we recommend to book your trip as soon as possible, so you can choose single or double bed.
-
6 people will be sleeping in the same room, so if you are not comfortable with sharing the room with another 5 people, we recommend to book any of our camping or cottage tours.
This is a 3-day trip.
