Explorer Canoes
At Explorer Canoes you climb into a large canoe and paddle yourself across the waters of Treasure Cove and Adventure Isle. An active trip past pirate ships, a fort and the jungle.
The concept
The canoe trips are run by a pirate who became an “almost honest” businessman: “Bilge Rat” Bill. You set off from Dead Man’s Dock. The canoes are modelled on the dugout canoes of the original inhabitants of North America. Canoe trips have also been popular for years at Disneyland in California and Tokyo Disneyland.
The Experience
You paddle past Skull Island, the fort captured by pirates, a lighthouse with a cannon and the pirate ship Siren’s Revenge. At the El Teatro Fandango theatre you see the damage from the Battle of Treasure Cove. Then you paddle up the Q’olari River to Adventure Isle, past the great stone statues of the Arbori and the mountain Apu Taku. Keep your hands inside the boat: don't feed the piranhas!

Everyone paddles
There's no engine: everyone in the canoe helps out. The better you work together, the easier it goes.
Life jacket for children
Children under 7 wear a life jacket. There are adult sizes too.
Splashes
With all those paddles you may get splashed. Keep your phone dry.
Visitor information
There is no minimum height, but your feet must touch the floor when seated. Sitting on someone's lap is not allowed. Children under 7 wear a life jacket and must be accompanied by someone aged 16 or over. You must be able to walk yourself; you need to transfer from your wheelchair. Rider Switch is available.
Doing the work yourself
Explorer Canoes is different from the other attractions: you have to work for it yourself. Fun for families with slightly older children. Afterwards, explore Siren’s Revenge or Shipwreck Shore.
