"Beautiful and varied scenery, camping on deserted islands, cooking fresh fish over an evening campfire, lovely sunshine (we were very lucky with the weather), great wildlife and having the world to ourselves. It was a great holiday."

You have good chances to see beaver during your tour and the surrounding forests offer wonderful possibilities for hiking if you wish to take time to explore on land.
