Sea Kayak Trips


Half-day trips are scheduled almost every day at 9:00 am & 2:00 pm for $60/ person. On a half-day trip we might paddle from the harbor past the lighthouse and to the crystal-clear waters of Little Sand Bay. The first part of this trip will be spent learning and practicing basic paddling skills and techniques. Sunset cruises are also available upon request. Price includes all equipment, instruction, guide and a snack. Kids are $50 in any group of 3 or more. No experience is necessary.

Kayking to see the Squaw Island Lighthouse

Full-day trip destinations include outer islands & longer sections of the Beaver Island shoreline. Tours begin at 9:00 am, end about 4:30 PM & cost $95/person. We will spend the first part of the day learning & practicing paddling skills and techniques. Price includes all equipment, instruction, guide and a great lunch. If crossing to another island, a rescues class is required. Pre-req: Basic Paddling Strokes or Introduction to Sea Kayaking. A rescues class is not required if paddling the Beaver shoreline.

We can design any trip to meet your groups' particular needs.

Exploring the Beaver Island Archipelago via Kayak

Overnight & extended trips to the outer islands are popular. Explore these pristine islands as we practice paddling skills and techniques. We may do some hiking on the outer islands or simply explore the wildlife & shorelines by kayak. Price is $120/person/day & includes deliciously prepared meals. Pre-req: Basic Paddling Strokes or Introduction to Sea Kayaking plus Basic Rescues. Minimum of 4 kayakers.

Camping on an Outer Island

Snorkeling trips are scheduled at 2:00 pm usually once a week. They last until 7:00 pm and cost $70. We'll shuttle to the south end of Beaver Island & then paddle to the Betsy Smith where we'll snorkel over this exciting 1800's wooden schooner. We will then continue on to beautiful secluded beach at French Bay. Previous paddling experience is generally required depending on wind conditions.

Other snorkeling trips are available but require an overnight stay due to distance.

Overnight Sea Kayak Trips to the Outer Islands

All trips are guided by Ken Bruland, an experienced sea kayak guide and instructor with ACA, BCU, CPR, Wilderness
