Welcome to Horizons Adventures-Sea Kayaking on the Great Lakes

 A new Sea Kayaking season is about to start and we are looking forward to all the adventure that 2025 will offer.  This will be our 30th year in business and we are going to celebrate. There is a lot of choice out there, and many different ways you can spend your holiday time on the water. As a sea kayak company specializing in paddling the Great Lakes for 30 years, we are excited to share our waters with you. From introductory trips of 2 nights to longer expeditions up to 11 nights, we will help you kayak Great Lakes waters including Georgian Bay, Lake Huron’s North Channel, or Lake Superior in style. If you just want to learn more about paddling, we offer Paddle Canada courses to work on your skills so you can go where you choose with confidence.  

We prefer that you consider your time with us not so much “spent” as “well kept”. As specialists in small group travel, we are happy to talk to you about what your needs are – whether that’s dietary or developing private trips for your group. Our schedule and pricing reflect the coming season, and dates for 2025 are posted. We are still editing the bookings buttons but most of the work is now complete. Please let us know if you have any questions. Prices posted do not include HST tax (13%) or web fees. Web fees are charges that are incurred for the privilege of using the internet secure booking system and are calculated to be about 6% of the total cost. This would include the Credit Card charges, and the fees charged by Fareharbor for making and running the software that allows all this to happen securely. Horizons does not receive that money. Instead, Farharbor, the company that provides the booking software, charges and collects that 6%. Thanks for your patience.

Fresh Air and Water

The sweet smell of fresh air. Northern waters warm enough to swim in and cool enough to refresh the tired traveler. The sound of wind in the white pines. And the calm and relaxation we feel when we’re in nature. Sounds pretty nice doesn’t it? Just add a sea kayak and we’re talking perfection.

Personal Attention

Our Great Lakes trips are limited to small groups of six to eight travelers with at least two guides. So whether you have a question about a stroke or want to share a story about the great day you’ve just had, we’ll give you the personal time and attention you deserve.

Learning and Discovery

All of our sea kayak, camping and safety instruction is designed with your learning style in mind. And the discovery continues on trip where we’ll be delighted to show you how to properly maintain equipment, navigate and read maps, and pack, cook and manage food. Or perhaps you would like to try your first watercolor painting?

Adventure and Exploration

We travel on some big waters on the Great Lakes, so you can expect lots of fun and adventure. But we like to explore, not rush. For us the destination is the journey, whether that’s weaving between islands, pausing to view an ancient pictograph or high-fiving after your first kayak roll.

Fellowship and Solo Time

Outdoors people are some of the best folks we know. So bringing you together in a group always results in great teamwork and fellowship, led by experts who know how to foster that. But chances are you also want a little time of your own. So feel free to head off for a dip or book a solo tent. Just know we’re here when you’re ready to join us again.

Great Food

Our food is delicious if we do say so ourselves. We know how to satisfy hardy appetites while offering the variety, uniqueness and freshness that turn a meal into an experience. And if you let us know in advance, we’ll be sure to allow for any allergies or preferences.

Value and Choice

We are a family-run business without the overheads of larger operators. So we’re able to deliver great adventures and instruction at an affordable price. And because we’re in charge, we can also ensure that the choices we offer are flexible and based on your changing needs and interests.

Safe Passage

Your safety is non-negotiable. All of our programs are led by certified experts and include quality equipment. All trips begin with an orientation and pre-trip prep, and beginner programs require pre-trip safety and skill instruction. Our small group philosophy means less risk on open water without compromising your independence.
