Package Description:
A romantic two-day B&B getaway on the Grand & Nith River. Travel together in our tandem kayak, then relax at the Country Manor's three-room, king size suite WITH hot tub. A Spa option is also available. On Day 2, river kayak the unique wilderness of the Nith River - this is the best of the best!
Day 1 starts at 10 a.m at the Brant Conservation Area in Brantford. Meet your personal guide to start off with a training paddle in order to familarize yourselves with our stable tandem 18ft sea kayaks. Once you are comfortable with the boat, you can shuttle upstream or choose to cycle together for 12 km on the Rail Trail to the quaint town of Paris.
Relax in Paris on a riverside, outside deck viewing the scenic dam. Enjoy a complimentary patio lunch for two, served by the Cocoa Bean Cafe & Boutique. After lunch, launch from our store-front dock, with your guide, to paddle the Cayuga Run.
This guided run is the historical route of the valley. The first leg of your paddling trip drifts into the famous artist snapshot of Paris. You will then visit the largest black walnut tree in Canada, see natural conglomerate rock, drink from cool water springs, run the splashing "bloop", visit a mine from the 1830's and hike to the Lookout on the Black Walnut Trail. You'll hear about the history of the forgotten Neutral Tribe, paddle past the largest blue-heron rookery, visit the coldest creek in Southern Ontario, picnic on Sarah's Island, float down Big "V" in your life jacket, see the remains of an 1800's corduroy road, paddle the quiet stillness, view a red-tail hawk nest and the home of a bank beaver before paddling to your final destination - our riverside campsites at the Brant Conservation Area where your vehicle is parked. This is a 4-hour hike/paddle.
You will then drive about 15 minutes to spoil yourself at the Country Manor Bed & Breakfast! Stay in a beautifully appointed three-room suite, complete with in-room hot tub, king size bed, ensuite bathroom, private living room and dining room, plus outdoor pool.
When you're ready, travel 5 minutes to Paris for an evening of dining in the elegant 19th century Arlington Hotel. Afterward, stroll the town, then return to the Country Manor to enjoy an evening swim or soak in your private hot tub.
You can also add to your stay the "ultimate pampering experience" of one-on-one spa treatments and packages from Patricia's Spa, located right in the B&B... you'll know you are in Heaven!
In the morning of Day 2, savour a romantic, candlelit breakfast for two, served to you in your own dining room.
At 11 a.m, return to Paris to experience our best wilderness trip in river kayaks on the Nith River.
This paddle is a 5-hour trip on one of the most unique rivers in the Grand Watershed. In the spring it is a flume ride of fun; in the summer it is a gentle low, scraping the rocks as you pass. This clay-base river is a beauty to paddle - close shorelines, undisturbed serenity - yet it sits in the heartland of Ontario. It is a river of pools and tumbling swifts.
The two of you will enjoy our Tripper lunch on the shore, below towering cliffs of solitude. Take a drink from fresh water springs at Devil's Cave. This is an excellent river to kayak as it is not deep, but offers a variety of waters. It is hard not to fall in love with the Nith - it etches a distinctness in your mind, one that keeps you returning, again and again.
This romantic getaway package for two includes an exclusive B&B suite, Arlington Hotel fine dining, kayak instruction, tour bikes, kayaks & equipment, your personal guide, shuttle rides and all meals. The Patricia's Spa is not included, but can be added to your getaway for two.
Trip cost is $325/person plus tax.
