At Gray Jay, we aspire to be the reference of choice for active exploration of the geography and the outdoors in Canada.
The Ottawa-Gatineau region is full of places and activities just waiting for you to explore. No need to go far to live an unforgettable day. Discover this beautiful region differently.
Want to discover more of the Canadian wilderness? Our expeditions are for you! Join us on a multi-day camping trip as we explore different regions by canoe or on foot because Canada has so much to offer.
Reconnect with your surroundings by participating in a week-end workshop or by travelling and exploring with a purpose. These experiences will enable you to learn new skills and learn about different Canadian communities while exploring the outdoors.
From August 29th until September 11th 2021
Come paddle a little over 300 km’s of the Yukon river. With its turquoise water, breathtaking scenery and fascinating history, the Yukon river is, according to us, one of the more beautiful Canadian rivers to explore. Following this, we will drive to Dawson city and then head to Tombstone territorial park for a 3 day/ 2 night hike in this park, also referred to as the Patagonia of the north.
From June to October 2020
Visit the beautiful Gatineau-Ottawa Region and treat yourself to a canoe-camping experience in your own image by customizing every detail of your expedition. Select the lake you wish to explore, the level of comfort that best suits you and there you go!
« Booking this camping trip through Gray Jay excursions was a great decision for us and we cannot wait to join Mathieu on another adventure soon. »
« This trip was definitely worth it. Mathieu seemed to know all of the best spots and our camping setups were great... not to mention the campfire cooking that he seemed to take a lot of pleasure into preparing for us. »
« Mathieu was organizing a 3 day trip to Algonquin Park. Even though I love camping, I was really interested in his trip since he was organizing all of the food, the equipment and even the shuttle from my home in Ottawa, to Algonquin. My girlfriend and I do not have a car and not very familiar with Algonquin park so this was perfect for us. »
« Being new to Canada, I had never gone canoe camping before. Mathieu took care of everything but was also very good at teaching and showing me everything I needed to know in order to go on more camping trips… a truly Canadian experience. »
« Mathieu a vraiment rendu notre séjour de canot-camping spécial et relaxant. Très bien organisé et préparer, il nous a accompagner de la maison, jusquau site de camping, nous a fournis tout l'équipement requis pour être confortable et nous a préparer des supers de bons repas. Pour une séjours sans soucis, je vous conseil fortements ses services. »
