Highly recommended! Awesome experience. My partner and I got the chance to join the Whitewater Paddling Courses, we had 4 instructors (two highly experienced guides :Sean and Dan, and two young but highly skilled helpers - Rae and Luke) which was pretty awesome as we could get personalized advice on how to improve our skills. At the end of the two days course, We feel comfortable scouting and running rapids and learn a lot on various topic, plus we met awesome people so... Yeah highly recommended In the photo, two of our instructors show us how to god down rapids and how to have fun while doing so!

Great education for the "retail camper" to help move to the "wilderness camper" level in the Canoe Tripping Course in the Cameron River system. Jackpine's competent guides covered mapping and navigation, gear review and suggestions, basic camping first aid, food prep and cleanup, leave no trace camping, canoe paddling and portaging tips, and technical water (rapids) analysis. There's a bunch more they covered, but there were many highlights in 3 days. Thanks, Jackpine!
I was fortunate enough to have spent 3 consecutive days learning about Lake canoeing and an introduction to white water canoeing with Jackpine Paddle in early August. Dan, along with his two staff were extremely knowledgeable, patient and personable with our group, many of which had minimal experience in canoes. Their method of instruction was easy to follow and they were consistantly keeping a vigilant eye on our strokes, body movement and overall safety. Day 1 my canoeing partner and i couldn't go 10 M in a straight line through a lake; by the end of day 3 we were happily confident to attempt a ferry across rapids and go down tartan rapids each taking a swing at steering. Thanks guys, lots of fun.
Being true students to the Northern land, Dan and his fellow local guides provide a unique experience rich in Northern history. This type of experience can only come from a lifetime immersion in the North. Carrying his personal knowledge of the the North, a deep curiosity in the indigenous way of life, and the knowledge of his late mentor the great Alex Hall, Dan and his team at Jack Pine paddle deliver the finest Arctic adventures in the industry.
I have taken a course in lake paddling, whitewater, and whitewater expeditions with Jackpine Paddle. I have left them all feeling more confident in my skills. I now use those skills to further enjoy all that the NWT have to offer, from day trips on lakes around Yellowknife to mutli-week river excursions. If you're looking to gain confidence in a canoe and you've come to the right place.
Recently took an Intro to Lake Canoe course, and I highly recommend taking it with Jack Pine paddle! Instructors were incredibly knowledgable and it quite obvious how passionate they were about paddling and enjoying the outdoors. Would definitely do another course with them!
Incredible kayaking trip to the East Arm and Etthen Island. Very professional group with incredible food and quality gear provided.
We did the Canoe Tripping experience and it was great, with lots of learning opportunities, great leadership and an awesome landscape. I will definitely recommend this company, plus it is always great to support a company who is passionate and has the local knowledge.
