Deep Adventure - Women's Montreal River, SK

Dates: May 16-19, 2025

​

Cost: $750 plus gst

​

This is the perfect early season adventure ideal for women who have joined us on a previous trip and want to develop their paddling skills. This trip starts on the lake but soon you are enjoying lots of fun, small, technical rapids which is great for learning introductory whitewater skills with a loaded boat. We will focus on learning skills while we are having fun and share stories around the fire.

We will be taking inflatable canoes on this adventure.  The boats are more stable and forgiving, and will be a good way to push your skills to another level.

​

The Deep Adventure Trips bring faith into the wilderness experience. This will include devotionals, prayer, testimonials and deep conversation around the fire. You do not have to have any faith background to participate or join the Deep Adventure trips.  It is good to hear everyone's story and learn from each other.

​

You will receive a detailed email with all the information needed for preparing and planning for your trip.  If you have any additional questions, please contact Ang at 306-212-0115 or email ang@yfbc.ca

​

This trip is "community catered".  All participants and guides take their turn providing and cooking breakfasts and suppers on the trips. Everyone looks after their own lunches and snacks. This is a fun way to share, try new meals and learn how to bake and cook in the backcountry. Guides will help at every meal and give you lots of assistance! 

​

** Location subject to change if there are wildfires in the area or if we are unable to access the location due to fires.  If that happens, we will find a plan B that as similar to plan A as we can, and still get out canoeing to another fantastic location.

​

Prerequisites: We recommend some basic river skills before the trip. (check out our canoe courses!)  Guides can also teach skills along the trip but it would be good if you know how to steer a canoe in a straight line before you come.  You should have an average fitness level. 

 

Cancellation Policy:  A $150 non-refundable deposit is required to register. The balance is due 30 days before the trip start date. No refunds on or after this date. We recommend trip cancellation insurance.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION AND TRIP CANCELLATION: In rare cases, if you have an emergency and need to be evacuated from the trip, you will be responsible for any extra charges.  The quickest way to get off our remote trips is via floatplane or helicopter and if we contact these companies directly for the quickest service, you will be responsible for the expense.  To ensure that there are no surprises, we recommend that you get evacuation insurance.  An evacuation could be very costly in remote locations, so we recommend that you are covered through your credit card or another plan.  One option available is Tugo Insurance at:  https://www.tugo.com/en/travel-insurance/canadians/.  You may also want to consider purchasing trip cancellation insurance if for some reason (i.e. illness) you are unable to go on the trip.  If cancellation is required at the last minute, you will need to have trip cancellation insurance. This will protect yourself and Aha! Adventures and allow us to offer great trips into the future.
