A four-day instructional sea kayaking journey along Georgian Bay's Saugeen Peninsula, based out of Cape Croker Park. Kayak Ontario leads paddling instruction, and our Anishinaabe and local partners offer cultural and ecological programming.

This is a small-group experience for paddlers seeking a mix of coastal paddling, learning, and Anishinaabe-led experiences, offered in collaboration with Kayak Ontario.

Neyaashiinigmiing, situated on the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula along Georgian Bay, features a remarkable combination of sheltered coastlines, exposed bluffs, rich ecology, and deep cultural significance. This instructional tour is designed to allow ample time for a variety of on-water and land-based experiences, all guided by those with intimate knowledge of the area.
