This was the perfect way to introduce our family of 5 to the Boundary Waters. The gear, packs, canoes, and food were all great and the route they suggested was the perfect length. They make it really easy to show up and head out.

The guys at Boundary Waters Outfitters were outstanding! they kitted us out with all the gear we needed for our group of four for 4 days/3 nights including way more food than we needed, comfy sleeping systems, spacious tents and lightweight canoes. On the morning of the trip John gave us all the information we needed for a safe and fun trip including his recommended camp sites and best fishing spots. The best part about it all was their reasonable fees - in fact, they were 30% less than some of the other outfitters we looked... read more

Boundary waters outfitters were quite a disappointment with the price we paid. I hate to complain but I think what we saw and heard from others NEEDS to be made aware to people. Our trip started off with sleeping in the bunkhouse where a bug crawled out of the pillow on the bed I was sleeping on. Then on our first dinner meal the meal was EXPIRED. The food was like ration for two adults (Burning lots of calories canoeing) and we ended up eating up future days meals. This was a large issue as the lunches were like a small rat... read more

John, Peter, Ruth and Greta were all amazing! From our first inquiry to our exit, the experience was 10/10 all around. My husband and I had never done anything like this before, but the folks at BWO made it a breeze! They planned an excellent route for us, gave us great insight on good camp sites and great fishing spots. Unfortunately our trip was cut short due to a family emergency, but they were fantastic about it. We are in love with canoe packing and are already planning a return trip next year and will be using BWO. Tha... read more
