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 take care of everything, so relax, it's easy, just arrive in Sault Ste. Marie, hop on the train, and begin your adventure!

Directions to the train station from Michigan are as follows: turn right after you pass through customs, continue through the lights and follow the road until you come to the train station in the mall parking lot at 129 Bay Street. You can leave your vehicle in the station or hotel parking lot; although these places are "secure", it is advisable not to leave valuables in a vehicle - leave them with your hotel for safe storage.
