Canoeing at Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre

Sunday july 7

Join us for an exciting day of exploration and adventure at the beautiful Wye Marsh on July 7th!
This unique event combines the fun of guided canoeing with hiking, offering a perfect way to immerse yourself in nature. We will split everyone into two groups for a seamless experience and while one group will embark on a serene canoe tour through the marsh, another will enjoy a guided hike along the diverse trails, discovering the local flora and fauna.
For a lunch break, we will all gather for a captivating Bird of Prey show, where you can witness the majesty of these incredible creatures up close and learn about their vital role in our ecosystem. After lunch, the groups will switch activities, allowing everyone to experience both canoeing and hiking. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or just starting out, this event is the perfect opportunity to learn about canoeing and spend time outdoors.

Easy - Intermediate: relatively flat trails with some ups and downs. Suitable for beginners, and hikers with a basic fitness level.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH ACTIVEDAYS

To us, facilitating this event is about creating an environment that you can engage with in your own way. This is your experience and everyone has their own relationship with the outdoors and their bodies. We want to meet you where you are at — you can take part in the hike, or wander off on your own adventure.

ActiveDays is also a community. This is an inclusive space to meet new people, share stories and have fun! To us, there is no better place to get to know someone than the outdoors. We all share a desire to get out, explore and move.

All ActiveDays participants are required to sign a waiver. We will send you a digital copy via email. You can find a digital copy of a sample waiver HERE
