    Description

    We are Wolf and Jaana, the owners of the place
    Since 1993, we have been organizing guided canoe tours in the Canadian Yukon Territory. In addition, we have a fleet of about 50 canoes and kayaks, which we rent to paddlers.
    The canoe rental usually also includes a transport of the paddlers to the entry point and picking them up at the end of the tour. These transfers can occasionally be up to 600 kilometers. For example, Picking up customers in Dawson City. We live on the 30-kilometer long Marsh Lake, 60 kilometers east of Whitehorse.

    Seit 1993 veranstalten wir geführte Kanutouren im kanadischen Yukon Territorium.
    Ausserdem haben wir eine Flotte von zirka 50 Kanus und Kajaks, die wir an Paddler vermieten.
    Die Kanuvermietung beinhaltet meist auch einen Transport der Paddler zur Einstiegsstelle und eine Abholung am Ende der Tour. Diese Transfers können gelegentlich bis zu 600 Kilometern sein. Z.B. Abholung von Kunden in Dawson City.
    Wir wohnen am 30 Kilometer langen Marsh Lake, 60 Kilometer östlich von Whitehorse.
