SUMMARY:Mackinac Straits Lighthouse Trip
DESCRIPTION:Driving North over the Mackinac bridge always offers up an amazing view as our eyes are drawn to the East to Mackinac\, Round and Bois Blanc islands and the flow of boat traffic. It is a busy waterway of sail-craft\, thousand-foot freighters and ferries trailed by huge roostertails spouting from their jetdrives. If you look to the West a few miles toward the open waters of Lake Michigan\, there is a largish\, forested island looming just two miles off the south shore of the Upper Peninsula that features a picturesque lighthouse. For decades I have traveled past St. Helena island on the way to other places often wondering what it would be like to paddle out there and explore. This secret spot that you may have never heard of lies just four hours travel from most all of Michigan. Want to check it out with us? \nNow we can paddle out there\, land\, explore the island and stay in that unique restored lighthouse thanks to the Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association and the Nature Conservancy! You get to see what it would be like to be a Great Lakes Lighthouse Keeper for a couple of nights within view of the Mackinac Bridge while getting out there under your own power. Packing will be simple as food and lodging are provided at the lighthouse and we’ll all pitch in together on keeper duties while exploring this unique setting. You’ll need both the skills and a touring kayak capable of making the two-mile crossing (rentals available for $100)\, a willingness to pitch in and an adventurous spirit. \nFacilities: Despite not having running water and only solar electricity\, the lighthouse has nicely maintained outhouses\, on-demand hot water showers and even Wifi. Pillows and blankets are provided on nice beds\, but a sleeping bag or flat sheets are helpful. NOTE: there is no alcohol allowed here. \n\nItinerary\nDay 1\nMeet up at Gros Cap launch site for the 9 am gathering/packing session to head across to St Helena\, parking at the launch site. Although we’ll have some volunteer duties\, most time will be spent exploring on water and land. \nDay 2-3\nHelping out with shoreline and trail maintenance\, some lighthouse projects paired with time on our own to explore the island\, on land and/or by water\, and its features. \nDay 4\nAfter breakfast\, we’ll pack for the crossing back over to our waiting cars and have you back on the road to other adventures by noon. \n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dates for 2026\nJuly 2-5  \n \nWhat’s Included:\n\nACA Qualified Instructors\nQuality on and off-water instruction\nSmall shared rooms in the light house…two rooms for couples with double beds and other shared rooms with singles.\nThree breakfasts\, all lunches and three dinners\n\nWhat’s Not Included\n\nTransportation to the site\nSnacks and soft drinks\nGuide Gratuity (Suggested 10% of trip cost)\nPersonal Items: Be sure to review the packing list.

SUMMARY:Isle Royale Explorer 2026
DESCRIPTION:Paddle into one of America’s most remote and breathtaking national parks. We’ll strap our sea kayaks to the roof of a ferry\, cross more than 50 miles of open water\, and land on Isle Royale—the largest island in the largest freshwater lake in the world. This isn’t just another paddling trip. This is an adventure into untamed wilderness\, where moose roam the shoreline\, wolves keep to the shadows\, and loons call across the glassy bays of Lake Superior. \nWhile backpackers explore on foot\, we’ll discover Isle Royale the way it’s meant to be experienced—by kayak. Over nine unforgettable days\, you’ll paddle alongside ancient volcanic rock\, land on secluded beaches\, and explore hidden coves. Between paddles\, we’ll hike to sweeping viewpoints\, swim in Superior’s icy-clear water\, try our hand at lake trout fishing\, and photograph the island’s rugged beauty. \nNo two trips are the same—our routes are planned around weather\, your skills\, and your goals. We don’t just “bag miles.” We immerse ourselves in Superior’s nature and culture at a pace that lets you truly connect with this extraordinary place. \nWe’ve guided more expeditions to Isle Royale than anyone else\, and our long-standing relationships with park staff mean you’ll get an insider’s perspective on the island’s history\, wildlife\, and conservation efforts. \nTo ensure your safety and maintain the flexibility of small camps\, we limit this trip to only five participants. \nLocation: Isle Royale National Park\, Lake Superior\, MichiganDuration: 9 days (2 travel\, 7 paddling/exploring)Group Size: Max 5 paddlers for safety and flexibilityDeposit: $500 to reserve your spot \nTrip Highlights\n\nPaddle 50–70 miles of world-class Lake Superior kayaking routes\nExplore remote coves\, cliffs\, and historic sites of Isle Royale National Park\nEnjoy guided day hikes\, wildlife watching\, fishing\, and photography\nSmall-group adventure—maximum of 5 paddlers for safety and flexibility\nGourmet backcountry meals and expert instruction included\n\nWho Is This For?

SUMMARY:Isle Royale Sampler 2026
DESCRIPTION:We are going to strap our kayaks to the roof of a ferry\, motor over fifty miles out to the largest island in the largest lake in the world and go kayaking. This is not something to be taken lightly\, but our “sampler” program is designed for those who are interested in learning to camp out of their kayaks in relatively calm conditions. It is appropriate for adventurous beginners who have had group rescue practice and can paddle up to 10 miles/day in 1-2 ft seas and 10 knots of wind. We offer a number of weekend and day workshops that can help you grow those skills or point you to a coach in your area. \nSea Kayaking Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior\nThis is a magical place wrapped up in ancient rock\, thimbleberries and the unforgiving waters of Lake Superior. This unique island park with its moose and wolves is a popular destination for backpackers\, but since it is an island we thought that it would make more sense to explore it by kayak! There will be plenty of time for day hikes\, brisk swims\, good lake trout fishing\, kayaking and listening to the loons. We plan this trip together with you based on weather outlook\, park conditions and your own goals and tastes. To ensure your safety and maintain the flexibility of small camps\, we limit this trip to only five participants. \n\nSample Itinerary for 7 Day Trip\n(includes 2 travel days)\nDay 1\nRendezvous in Copper Harbor at 5:00 PM at the Minnetonka Resort for a quick backcountry packing orientation. \nDay 2\n7 AM rendezvous at Isle Royale Queen dock for the 3.5 hour ride to Rock Harbor. Organize and pack for the short paddle to the first campsite. Go over basic strokes\, braces and rescue drills. \nDays 3-5\nThe heart of the trip–you’ll find yourself paddling an average of 4 or 5 hours/day sandwiched with day hikes\, fishing\, shooting photos\, looking for Moose and listening to the music of our largest freshwater sea. For this trip we often use just two camps to use as two separate hubs. We find you spend more time seeing the island\, than making and breaking camp this way. You should be prepared for temps between 40- 80…bring a wool hat and a swimsuit. You can count on learning lots of new paddle skills and having a truly spectacular experience on this beginner friendly trip. \nDay 6\nIn the afternoon\, we’ll be ferried back to Copper Harbor for a fine meal and a good night’s sleep. \nDay 7\nTravel day for home or to continue your own adventure in the Keweenaw \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dates for 2026\n\nJuly 20 – July 26\, 2026\nAugust 8 – August 14\, 2026\nAugust 23 – August 29\, 2026 \n\n \nIsle Royale Kayaking Trip Cost Includes:\n\nOne night double occupancy lodging before and one after in Copper Harbor (Single occupancy rates available)\nRound trip ferry fees for both you and your kayak\nExpert instructor guides\nAll group gear (tents\, kitchen gear\, dry bags\, safety and camp gear)\nNational Park Service permits and daily user fee\nGourmet backcountry fare\n\nWhat’s Not Included:\n\nTravel to and from Copper Harbor\nKayak rental: If you are going to need a kayak\, you should add that as an add-on to your booking\, to be sure we have one for you.\nPersonal Items: Be sure to review the packing list.

SUMMARY:Keweenaw Rock Gardening ACA Paddlesports Guide Certification Program
DESCRIPTION:This new American Canoe Association Paddlesports Guide Certification is the most current multi-day guide certification available. The rocky Coastline of the Keweenaw peninsula allows for Level 3+ conditions\, crossings\, logistics planning\, group management\, campcraft\, cooking and a solid foundation for guiding work during this 6 day program.  Costs will be kept reasonable. Limited availability with small group learning. More information will be posted soon. Contact Michael Gray for more information. \nKeweenaw is said to be one of the most beautiful places on earth\, with miles of gorgeous landscapes and adventure around every corner. Lighthouses\, ruins\, waterfalls\, and hiking trails! \nThis is Michigan’s other Thumb\, dividing open waters of Lake Superior from Keweenaw Bay. Its crystal clear waters bounce around this rocky coast offering a seldom paddled opportunity to explore rock gardens\, waterfalls\, sea stacks and some remote camping. Who knew? Imagine a group of decent paddlers\, geared up for swims\, rescue practice and some tough plastic boats designed to bounce before they break and you get the picture. \nGreat paddling\, Superior camping\, whitefish dinners\, blueberries\, local craft brews… this is so not your average instructional program! Don’t forget the opportunity to learn how to provide great food either\, because that’s the only way we roll. \n\nItinerary\nDay 1\nArrive in Copper Harbor.  \nDays 2 – 5\nPaddle around the thumb\, camping en route (3 nights)\, explore the Keweenaw Peninsula\, Gull Island\, and/or Manitou Island\, weather permitting.

SUMMARY:Isle Royale Sampler 2026
DESCRIPTION:We are going to strap our kayaks to the roof of a ferry\, motor over fifty miles out to the largest island in the largest lake in the world and go kayaking. This is not something to be taken lightly\, but our “sampler” program is designed for those who are interested in learning to camp out of their kayaks in relatively calm conditions. It is appropriate for adventurous beginners who have had group rescue practice and can paddle up to 10 miles/day in 1-2 ft seas and 10 knots of wind. We offer a number of weekend and day workshops that can help you grow those skills or point you to a coach in your area. \nSea Kayaking Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior\nThis is a magical place wrapped up in ancient rock\, thimbleberries and the unforgiving waters of Lake Superior. This unique island park with its moose and wolves is a popular destination for backpackers\, but since it is an island we thought that it would make more sense to explore it by kayak! There will be plenty of time for day hikes\, brisk swims\, good lake trout fishing\, kayaking and listening to the loons. We plan this trip together with you based on weather outlook\, park conditions and your own goals and tastes. To ensure your safety and maintain the flexibility of small camps\, we limit this trip to only five participants. \n\nSample Itinerary for 7 Day Trip\n(includes 2 travel days)\nDay 1\nRendezvous in Copper Harbor at 5:00 PM at the Minnetonka Resort for a quick backcountry packing orientation. \nDay 2\n7 AM rendezvous at Isle Royale Queen dock for the 3.5 hour ride to Rock Harbor. Organize and pack for the short paddle to the first campsite. Go over basic strokes\, braces and rescue drills. \nDays 3-5\nThe heart of the trip–you’ll find yourself paddling an average of 4 or 5 hours/day sandwiched with day hikes\, fishing\, shooting photos\, looking for Moose and listening to the music of our largest freshwater sea. For this trip we often use just two camps to use as two separate hubs. We find you spend more time seeing the island\, than making and breaking camp this way. You should be prepared for temps between 40- 80…bring a wool hat and a swimsuit. You can count on learning lots of new paddle skills and having a truly spectacular experience on this beginner friendly trip. \nDay 6\nIn the afternoon\, we’ll be ferried back to Copper Harbor for a fine meal and a good night’s sleep. \nDay 7\nTravel day for home or to continue your own adventure in the Keweenaw \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dates for 2026\n\nJuly 20 – July 26\, 2026\nAugust 8 – August 14\, 2026\nAugust 23 – August 29\, 2026 \n\n \nIsle Royale Kayaking Trip Cost Includes:\n\nOne night double occupancy lodging before and one after in Copper Harbor (Single occupancy rates available)\nRound trip ferry fees for both you and your kayak\nExpert instructor guides\nAll group gear (tents\, kitchen gear\, dry bags\, safety and camp gear)\nNational Park Service permits and daily user fee\nGourmet backcountry fare\n\nWhat’s Not Included:\n\nTravel to and from Copper Harbor\nKayak rental: If you are going to need a kayak\, you should add that as an add-on to your booking\, to be sure we have one for you.\nPersonal Items: Be sure to review the packing list.

SUMMARY:Shetland Islands: Pinnacle Adventure Summer 2027
DESCRIPTION:Dynamic conditions\, a remote lodge base\, geographically distinct and culturally interesting population all make this an amazing place to paddle. We are partnering with our friend Eila Wilkinson to bring this trip to 6 qualified paddlers and three\, maybe even four coaches.  Fantastic opportunity for ACA Levels 3 and 4 paddlers to up their game and see this amazing semi-Nordic island. This will be an unparalleled opportunity for skill development with a great team and an inspiring backdrop. NDK kayaks will be brought over on the ferry for this program by Eila and we will do our best to get everyone well fit for the week. We’ll be providing most of the food service this week\, so you depend on high standard provisioning. Technically\, Shetland is part of Scotland\, but inhabitants think of themselves as more Scandinavian\, so it is an incredibly unique place to visit with amazing land and seascapes\, incredible seabirds and culture. With a population of 23\,000 and close enough to Norway geographically and historically to make nationality an ambiguous concept\, the Shetland Islands are Britain’s most northerly outpost. There’s a Scandinavian lilt to the local accent\, and streets named King Haakon or St Olaf are reminders that Shetland was under Norse rule until 1469\, when it was gifted to Scotland in lieu of the dowry of a Danish princess. \nOur expedition base camp this year is a beautifully converted church in the picturesque village of Walls\, next to the sea with beautiful views. The spacious house sleeps 8 people in 4 rooms. Spectacular open-plan living/dining/kitchen area featuring church windows and oak staircase to upper balcony\, 2 1/2 bathrooms with all linen and towels provided. \nEpic sea kayaking and exploring awaits the adventurous paddler. The adventure begins with your journey to arrive onto the Shetland Islands. The coast offers amyriad of sea caves\, stacks\, islands and voes with a limitless amount of exploring and amazement. Exposed to winds and the Atlantic swells\, the nature of these majestic islands offers magnificent paddling. The emphasis is on exploring and enjoyment\, while we will be exposed to tidal races\, surf and swells at times the ethos of the expedition is not a surf and tide races course. Our expedition base gives us optimum flexibility to maximise the best paddles according to the prevailing weather and conditions present\, without restrictions or by being storm bound. Paddlers should be paddling fit\, able to comfortably paddle at a reasonable pace and happy to undertake full and big days in the kayak with the possibility of extended paddle legs if landings are not immediately available. We hope to have 5 days on the water with an additional land or paddle day. \nSuggested Itinerary: \n\nJuly 8: Arrive in Aberdeen\, Scotland\, overnight on your own\nJuly 9: Overnight ferry to Lerwick (cabin highly recommended). You must reserve your own tickets but we can help guide you on dates and times.\nJuly 10: Travel to Lodge\nJuly 11-16: This is the juicy center bit with amazing guided kayaking day trips out from a private lodge. Your guides will prepare meals for the group during the week\, with the exception of a couple of nights out at local restaurants.\nJuly 17: Travel to Lerwick for the evening ferry back to Aberdeen\nJuly 18: Early morning ferry arrival for your further travel or flights onward\n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dates for 2027\n\nJuly 8-18\, 2027 (NOTE: Trip is currently full.
