We did a day trip with Taylor last week and it was INCREDIBLE! Myself and my three children (13, 12 and 9.) I’ve been wanting to explore the BWCA for decades, but just have been so intimidated and didn’t even know where to begin. WWD and our guide were incredible in choosing a trip that was doable for the four of us, but also educated us on portaging, the BWCA in general, even down to how to paddle. We were absolute newbies to adventuring via canoe and we can’t wait to come back for longer. Would definitely recommend Women’s Wilderness Discovery. They make adventuring in the woods so easy, affordable and FUN! Truly the highlight of our vacation to Ely and some priceless memories. Many thanks!
