4.0Passage Island(4 reviews) - Great tour to an island with lush vegetation and a lighthouse. Spent More than 3 hours Islands
This is a ranger guided tour arranged through Rock Harbor Lodge involving about a 1 hour boat trip each way. Passage Island is at the extreme limit of the park, and be aware your cell phone may ping off of Canadian cell towers. The boat cruise is interesting in and of itself. You get a nice view of the northern point of the island,and off in the distance, the Canadian shoreline. Once docked on Passage Island you do a 1 mile hike each way to the lighthouse. The ranger explained all the vegetation, including the devil's club shrub. Because there are no moose on the island, the vegetation is quite lush, almost always waist height or more. The trail is relatively easy, with one shoreline overlook right before you get to the lighthouse. The lighthouse dates to 1881 and overlooks a picturesque rocky shore. A must do trip. At the time we visited, the trip was from 1:30 to 6:00 P.M., although we made it back slightly before 6:00.See more..
