Eastern Georgian Bay Marine Heritage Tour (5 Days)

Day 1

While the eastern shore of Georgian Bay has many lighthouses to guide boat traffic through this 30,000 Island UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, most are unfortunately only accessible by private boat and some by experienced kayakers. As such, this tour will showcase the rich marine heritage of the area, dotted with lighthouses along the way. (If you are planning to travel by boat or kayak (experienced kayakers only), please see the complete listing of lighthouses in the Parry Sound Area, and consult local marine navigational maps.)

Your tour begins in Honey Harbour today, as you travel to Georgian Bay Islands National Park for some hiking and the chance to view two Georgian Bay lighthouses. Pack a picnic lunch and take the Day-tripper water taxi to Beausoleil Island. To view the front range, Brebeuf Island Light from afar, hike the Huron Trail from the water taxi access across the island to pick up the northern segment of the Georgian Trail on Beausoleil Island. You’ll find the rear range Beausoleil Island Light Range located ¼ mile east of Brebeuf Island, on the west shore of Beausoleil Island.
