Our eco-tours are designed for the entire family. We guide you to natural areas where you can safely experience the quiet and natural beauty of unique ecosystems. Our guides will explain the nature, history and culture of the area while pointing out plant and animal life. Our guides will also identify different ecosystems and explain their importance to the preservation of Lake Huron.

We have several scheduled eco-tours. Or, schedule your own. Each scheduled tour is 3-4 hours long and costs $45 per person; $25 for each additional person. Kids 10 and under are free if they share a kayak with a parent.

Wetlands & Wildlife—Wildfowl Bay, Bay Port

We set out from Bay Port and meander around Wildfowl Bay enjoying the natural quiet serenity of nature in its purest form. The area is loaded with eagles, ducks, turtles, deer, raccoons, egrets and herons. Our experienced guide will talk about the colorful local history of the area and highlight the surrounding ecosystem of wetlands, wildlife and fauna. This is a great paddle for families and would make a perfect Father’s Day gift. After kayaking for approximately 2 hours, we will drive to the Elkton area for a
guided tour of Michigan’s largest wind farm.
