Package Description:

This sea kayak tour spanning Lake Superior
Provincial Park is the last leg of the Pan-Superior,
500 km expedition (minimal outfitting), and is
designed for the experienced sea kayaker with a taste
for adventure.

Most of this sea kayak adventure takes place along
the rugged coastal waters of Lake Superior Provincial
Park, spanning over 100 km of undeveloped coastline
of crystal clear water, bordered by striking pink
granite or dark volcanic rock. We travel through time
passing by the eroded roots of the oldest mountains
on earth. Moose and caribou occasionally emerge from
the dense northern forest to wander the beaches and
coves.

We provide return transportation from
Voyageurs' Lodge (60 km north of Sault St. Marie,
Ontario), park fees, safety equipment and training,
group outfitting, and the best and the most experienced
guides on the lake. A Sault Ste. Marie airport pick-up
and return is $50 extra /person.

You provide: your own fully equipped sea
kayak, camping equipment, and meals. Of course we will
rent at a reduced daily rate (e.g., $20/ fully equipped
kayak, $5 for tent and sleeping pad). Food packages are
also available.
