About the Trek

Apostle Islands Kayaking is rapidly turning into one of our most popular treks. Rich in sea caves, lighthouses, and spectacular shores, the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore (near Bayfield, Wisconsin) is a sea kayaker’s dream. An experienced guide will lead you into a pristine collection of islands and shorelines, featuring stunning geological formations—caverns, arches, and pillars—all uniquely accessible to kayakers alone. Carry your gear in your kayaks while you explore the deep blue waters of Lake Superior, then bed down under the night sky on the sandy beaches of Gitche Gumee—Ojibwe for Lake Superior.
