This is our favorite route...We're dropped off at beautiful Bark Bay slough, (A warm fresh water estuary) where we practice our SUP skills. Then we'll paddle out the mouth of the river and we're out on the big lake! After a picnic lunch we aim to explore the Romans Point sea arches & caves, and onward to Cornucopia. This is a diverse paddle with no crowds and great scenery. 6-7 miles of paddling depending upon route.

Apostle Islands Sea Kayak Camping Trips Apostle Islands Sea Kayak Camping Trips Lots of history to be found 8/101 "Just got back from the 5 day Outer Limits trip. It was fantastic...Our guide and did a great job boosting confidence, being clear about our daily plan, making delicious meals, and making tough calls when weather was rough. I'm pretty athletic but had never sea kayaked before and left this trip feeling confident in my paddling abilities." "‹ "The menu was varied and a pleasant surprise as we are experienced campers and know how hard it is to produce good meals on the move for days at a time." "‹ Read More Reviews. The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore is a premier paddling destination for good reason. Exploring these islands by kayak gives you something few things do these days...time. "‹ Time to quiet your mind and reset to a slower pace. Time to wonder what it was like when the glaciers covered this land in a mile of ice. Or what it would feel like to be a French Voyageur paddling these waters with your load of furs for trade. It gives you time to ponder what makes sea caves, or perhaps to visit a lighthouse and imagine what it was like to live on these islands as a light-keeper. You may find yourself paddling over a shipwreck and feel the cool hand of the lake give you shivers, or walk through the timeless wisdom of a moss-laden old growth forest. Camping by sea kayak puts you in touch with the water and islands like no other form of travel. You will be camping, but you will also be traveling in style: Self-sufficient, self-propelled, and in touch with your surroundings.

After experiencing the Bark Bay slough in the evening, with mist on the water, Kingfishers hunting insects and Rose bushes in bloom (can you smell it?) we decided to add this to our trip options. Unless it's too wavy we'll also get out on Lake Superior for the paddle back. A really nice paddle of about 2 miles. Paddlers must be at least 14 years of age.

It's amazing being out on the Lake Superior during the full moon! We launch from Cornucopia beach right around sunset and paddle out to explore the sea caves at Romans Point. The tour starts off with kayak instruction, then we launch with the moon rising as we explore the caves and arches. "‹ This tour only happens 3 times per month; the two nights before and the night of the true full moon. During the trip your guide will discuss night vision and show a few constellations to help orient you to the night sky. "‹

Sand Island is one of the 22 Apostle Islands and is one of the most diverse naturally and culturally; fantastic sea caves, a historic lighthouse, hiking trails, beaches, apple orchards, even model T Fords! Since time won't allow us to explore everything Sand Island has to offer we will base our itinerary on safety and group interests. Novice paddlers are welcome, but should be in decent physical shape. Expect 9 miles and 4 hours of paddling. "‹ This tour uses tandem kayaks, but we can accommodate solo participants and odd number groups. Families with children under 14 and/or under 115 lbs. get to use triples! For this option you will need two adult-size paddlers per child who would be a 'rider' in the center seat. (An adult-size paddler is considered to be at least 14 years old and 115 lbs. Riders must be at least 5 years old and 40lbs.)

This tour leaves our beach in Cornucopia to explore the sea caves of Romans Point and the cultural history of the Cornucopia area. Though the Romans Point caves are smaller than those at Meyers Beach, they have way less crowds, allowing us to explore at leisure. On the way back if we have time we'll visit the Lost Creek estuary, a protected waterway with tons of turtles, birds, otters, and wetland plants. Total tour time is approximately 3.5 hours with 4 miles of paddling.

Here is a link to the Apostle Island National Lake Shore website to understand more of what the islands have to offer, this amazing place is much more vast than people realize.
