TOURING THE COASTAL WATERS OF THE SAUGEEN PENINSULA 

This course is run from a base camp. Camping is Included in the Price

The Saugeen Peninsula is famous for its challenging and rugged terrain, making it an ideal location for sea kayaking if you have the necessary skills and equipment. We plan to spend four days thoroughly exploring the area and learning about its unique features. We will be staying at a private campsite that is comfortable, clean, and fun. From there, we will choose the best locations on the Peninsula for our exploration. We know all of the best spots to launch from, as well as the best food trucks and patios. You will be amazed at how wonderful the areas beyond the tourist hotspots are.
