Elk Island Beaches and Boreal Forest Private Hiking Tour

8 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Travel north to the rugged shores of Lake Winnipeg—the world’s 11th largest freshwater lake—to explore the undeveloped wilderness of Elk Island Provincial Park.

This guided day-trip begins with an unhurried drive featuring local commentary on the area's history and geography, stopping at a coffee shop along the way. Upon arrival at destination, the hike begins with a unique shallow water crossing and a walk along a sweeping sandspit before entering the island's boreal interior.

You will hike through quiet forested trails that suddenly open up to a dramatic northern shore where massive sand cliffs and open water create a sense of total isolation. After completing the island circuit, the adventure returns to the mainland. Refuel with a meal at a local restaurant, cap off the day with a stroll along the world-famous white sands of Grand Beach, and enjoy a relaxing drive back.
