Used the canoe for backwoods camping on an island. Great service, but the canoe doesn't have a keel, so is a bit hard to control in waves and wind, but it was comfortable and roomy.




This trip is best suited for families with children under 10 years old, or folks who are on a tight time budget, or folks who want an adventure with less commitment to activity. This is a fully guided 2-day backcountry canoe adventure. No experience is necessary, minimal to no portaging, suitable for everyone. This trip isn't a backcountry slog- our main focus is time spent at camp, so this is especially perfect for young families or folks who have limited time and want to relax. I highly recommend this trip if you have young children! Our Keji Canoe Trip will begin with a rendezvous at our headquarters at Jake's Landing. We'll repack your items in our waterproofs, have a quick lunch (we provide this!) and then take off into the wilderness. On hot days we might swim from a canoe flotilla, or catch some shade and a snack under an old growth hemlock tree. We aim to blend luxury and comfort with Nova Scotia’s unforgettable landscape to create an adventure perfect for anyone to enjoy.

Great experience and service!
Kind, courteous help from the folks at Whynot! Have booked with Whynot several times now and they always offer top drawer service and advice. Prices are reasonable and they cover all the basis. We were completely prepared for our 2 days in the back country. I always enjoy my conversations with Cody! Would recommend 100%! Thanks again for another great Keji adventure!
Really great experience with Caroline. It was the perfect mix of sport, adventure, relaxation, great food and fun. Really liked the légère atmosphere and yet how meticulously everything had been planned before. Highly recommend.
Easy to book with and very helpful. This is my second time booking a canoe for a few nights in the Keji backcountry and I was surprised at how much the rental fees increased since I last booked in 2023. But if you aren’t able to borrow or buy a canoe ahead of time, Whynot definitely makes it an easy and smooth experience.
We have been renting canoes from Whynot Adventures for years. They are fantastic to deal with - so helpful, friendly, and professional. Kejimkujik is a special place and Whynot makes it so accessible for everyone, from seasoned backcountry campers to brand-new front country folks.
Fantastic light boat for back country.
As always, Whynot Adventures more than delivered on the promise. The staff is friendly, capable, and make their guests feel welcomed and special.
Wife and I did a 2 night loop at Big Dam with our dog. Was a great loop and not too demanding. Whynot has all the gear you need, they were super friendly, and were helpful with portage recommendations. They even get us a lift from Jake’s landing to Big Dam to start the loop. Look forward to coming back and booking with them again!
A fantastic tour with a super nice friendly and knowledgeable guide (Dylan) who also proved to be a perfect cook. A great tour through wonderful landscape. Beautiful camping spot, offering plenty of swimming in the lake. My wife and me and our grown up daughters enjoyed ourselves immensely!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! I’m thrilled to hear that Dylan made such a positive impression — both as a guide and a cook. It sounds like you and your family got to enjoy the full experience, from beautiful landscapes and camping to swimming in the lake. I really appreciate you choosing Whynot Adventure and hope to welcome you all back for another trip sometime! Cody Co-owner
