Hi everyone,
I'm new to Quetico and am coming over from England and am looking for an outfitter for a two week trip i'm doing with my teenage son in September.

It would be good if they were based out of Thunder Bay or at least operate in that area as that's where we're staying.

Any advice on a good outfitter would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much Robin

You probably want to look in Atikokan and Canoe Canada Outfitters comes to mind. Your real problem is the common one of transportation from Thunder Bay - presumably where you're flying to - and Atikokan. It seems a few outfitters will shuttle from Duluth airport to Ely, but flying to Quetico/BWCAW is not simple or convenient.

Agreed. Stay in Thunder Bay but find your outfitter closer to Atikokan. That’s where they’re located. I’m sure you will find one that can help arrange transportation. Thunder Bay is around two hours from Quetico and is a blue collar city not really associated with Quetico other than proximity.

We are flying in to International Falls, Mn (from Florida) and I have secured a van shuttle meeting us at the airport and taking us
To Atikokan, ON and back when we return. The cost is $230 each way.

That sounds quite reasonable.

You'll have a great time I'm sure!
