Trips to the islands

The Apostle Islands is one of America’s most accessible outdoor venues, offering many vacation options – so many that we established our Apostle Islands Kayak Base Camp there as a jumping off place to explore the south shore of Lake Superior. Several of our itineraries spend each night at the base camp with day paddles and hikes, while others head out after the first day to camp on the islands. Our base camp has showers, indoor bathrooms, and many amenities – you will love it! Regardless of which itinerary you choose you will enjoy this very special place.
