Trip: Isle Royale Explorer Long Play (Training Trip)

Guide: Michael G.

I am really glad I did this trip. It was enjoyable, educational, challenging and encouraging of kayaking and camping skill growth. Isle Royale is a beautiful place to go, with a variety of environments on land and water to experience. Michael Gray did a great job of organizing and leading this trip. Lisa Deziel was helpful in a thousand ways. I enjoyed all my companions on this trip. Michael Gray's famously good cooking was on display every day. I encourage paddlers who want Something More from a kayaking expedition to consider signing up next time this event is offered. All the other Uncommon Adventures outings with Isle Royale as a destination will also be rewarding.

Trip: Mackinac Straits Lighthouse Trip

Guide: Michael G.

An amazing trip steeped in history! GLLKA restored this magnificent Lighthouse on St. Helena Island and I was able to spend a few days on the Island and in the Lighthouse. A truly special trip. Michael and Lisa's itinerary was perfect. Lake Michigan offered us various paddling conditions and we even got to see a Ship Wreck from our kayaks! The wildlife is pretty cool too.
