If you drove to the supermarket & back you wouldn't say 'I've been on 2 trips to the supermarket'

(I guess it depends on the puzzle setter)

Also depends on if you took a couple of lengths of rope to pull it back empty... Guess you can tell I lived where I had to get a ferry on chains by my lOgic!

or maybe they all swam across, including the dog...lol

I think it's one of those ones where you need to count each traverse of the river as one trip. showing his working out will explain it, no doubt.;)

But how do they get the canoe back to the other side?

3 trips. Tie rope to each end of the canoe and pull it back so others can get in.
