About this tour
Join us for a Unique Tour of Islands not seen on other US tours!
Marvel at the natural beauty of these less inhabited islands with tranquil bays, marshes, and scenic shorelines as we discover birds and wildlife that inhabit the region. The Natives knew this beautiful collection of islands as Manitoana or the “Garden of the Great Spirit”.
Meander among Canadian National Parks and narrow channels of the Lake Fleet and Admiralty Island groups as our naturalist guide shares the history of how the war of 1812 shaped the border between the United States and Canada and how the islands of this unique archipelago were named.
