By Stephen Russell


Canoeing is an exciting experience for all people that love spending quality time on the water. Do not wait for anyone to take you to a canoeing tour. You should be the one thinking on where and when to kayak during your next vacation. If you love kayaking, you can organize tours to different famous rivers every year. This will help you to visit many beautiful places. There are so many other sites you should visit before you run out of time. For instance, you can plan your Yukon River Canoe Trips as soon as possible. The following guidelines will help you when planning for the adventure.

If you are visiting this river, you should think about the canoes you are going to use. Usually, visitors will be provided with the kayaks. You can thus select the one you want from the many options. Also, you will be provided with accessories such as food barrels, floatation devices, paddles, and dry bags. You will also be dropped off and picked up from the stream.

To know the area you will be visiting well, look for a guide material. Some people do not see the need to buy these guides. They are, however, crucial because they will give you lots of details about the place you are visiting. Also, you will know the best places to paddle. When choosing the guide, ensure it is the best in the market.

Decide on the ideal time-frame of the tour. Select a date and a month when you will travel. You may choose to visit the place during summer even if the season is short in Yukon. However, cancel out early summer. This is because currents may be many. The lower camps, thus, become inaccessible. The best time to find wild animals is during mid-August. Winter is another option, but it can be so cold.

In case you do not have any wilderness skills, do not worry. You can look for professionals to guide you before you set off for the journey. Also, there are lots of materials online that can guide you on the skills you need to have for such a trip. Some of the skills you need to know include tent pitching, and paddling.

It is also critical to determine the period you wish to stay. When you know the time-frame of the trip, you will make sound plans. You will pack enough food and water and carry enough cash. Find out how long the paddling trips take so that you can organize your tour well.

You may decide to eat grocery food during the entire tour. However, the barrels may have limited space for you food. Hence, you should plan how you are going to eat. Find out whether there are grocery stores nearby. Also, you can decide to eat at local diners or prepare your own food.

Clothing is also essential. Check out the weather and pack clothes that are appropriate. Also, you should think about the shelter as well. If you wish to camp, buy a suitable backpacking tent that will protect you from rain, wind, small animals and cold.
