Description:
Wilderness sea kayaking at its best along the rugged northern Lake Superior coast! This sea kayak tour is the first leg of the Pan-Superior, 500 km expedition (minimal outfitting), and is designed for the experienced sea kayaker with a taste for adventure.
This remote offshore island chain of northern Lake Superior, Ontario, offers breathtaking sea kayaking. Home to wolf, deer and moose, this area is road-less and accessible only by water craft. Designated to become a national marine park, the Black Bay Peninsula and offshore islands is a sea kayaking and ecotourism paradise.
Bring your fishing rod! Lake trout, coaster brook trout, and walleye can be caught along the way.
This trip is minimally outfitted.
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. For those arriving in Thunder Bay, Ontario, we can arrange an airport pick-up.
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.
