"At Tuscarora, I feel like a treasured client, that my individual trip is important to Andy and Sue. There are other crews coming through at the same time. But Andy and Sue carefully handle each group with intelligence and an easy state-of-mind. This gives me the confidence that I need when setting out on a canoe trek, together with a slower pace of living that I always seek in the wilderness."

• The convenience and comfort of our bunkhouses are a popular option for guests staying at Tuscarora the night before or after a canoe trip. Along with central shower and toilet facilities, your group's private bunkhouse is assured.
"Throughout the pre – post trip process, I always felt like both of you were really listening to and understanding our group’s needs. Although we only needed partial outfitting, that fact did not appear to influence the attention we were provided."
Sincerely,
-Kate Goddard
