Horizons Trips
Our trips are limited to select small groups of 6-8 travelers with at least
2 guides. Why? First, I insist on personal attention. The food is delicious,
our equipment of the highest quality, our guides are a delight and the experience
second to none. Second, the waters we travel are BIG, and so is our commitment
to safety. Smaller groups mean less risk on open water with more independence
for you, and small groups make a much smaller impact on a fragile land resource.
'Slow' because we like to explore not rush. For us the destination is
the journey. We want to share these magnificent waters with you and we know
them as well as, or better than, anyone in the business.
West Nile Virus
For those of you with any concerns regarding the recent problems with West Nile,
be assured that mosquitoes in the north are very unlikely carriers of the disease.
The species of mosquitoes we have up here are not known to be a bridging species
for the disease to transfer from birds to humans. The kind that typically carries
the disease is very rare, particularly in the north. In addition there have
been no reported cases of the disease in humans north of Parry Sound as of April
this year.
