My son and I had a fabulous time. Crystal clear water for paddling and swimming. Great scenery. Clean, comfortable accommodations. Wonderful professional, competent, helpful, friendly and enthusiastic guides Chris and Sean. I'd do it again in a heartbeat but I think next time I'll try a different trip. By Chuck F on Sep 30, 2024
Our family of 5 had an amazing time exploring the Apostle Islands with our guides. Our kids had a blast and will never forget this trip. We felt safe and prepared for the adventure. And to top it all off the food was terrific! One of our family members requires a gluten free diet and they were able to accommodate that with no issues. Thank you, Chris and Ted and Northwest Passage, we could not have asked for a better family trip! By Sarah B on Sep 04, 2024
A great, fun sea kayaking class. Keith Heger is a wonderful teacher. We were given all the necessary kayaking equipment so all we needed to do was show up. My classmates and I learned how to paddle in beautiful Lake Michigan and then learned/practiced rescue techniques. I would recommend this fun and educational class to anyone interested in sea kayaking as Keith was able to accommodate all paddlers, regardless of skill level. By Emily M on Aug 28, 2024
