About this trip

Come on up to the Northwoods in the summertime and have a fun weekend adventure on the water with a group of like-minded women on our Wisconsin Women’s Apostle Islands Kayaking Weekend.


The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore is a U.S. national lakeshore consisting of 21 islands and about 70,000 acres of shoreline. It is known for its collection of historic lighthouses, sandstone sea caves, a few old-growth remnant forests, and cultural history. For us, it is the perfect playground for adventure and exploration.


On our Wisconsin Women’s Apostle Islands Kayaking Weekend our team will introduce participants to sea kayaking on beautiful Lake Superior. We will spend a lot of time on the water exploring both mainland shoreline and have a full day adventure out to Sand Island. Topside, we will walk on forest trails, visit a nearby orchard, and finish the adventure with a boat cruise of the Apostle Islands.

The trip is open to women ages 18 and older. Anyone in good health, and who is moderately active can enjoy the activities listed on the itinerary.   No previous kayaking experience is necessary. Participants must be able to swim, and be ok with paddling across open water.

What others are saying...

"I just got home from Apostle Island kayak with Tim. What an awesome experience. As you know,  Tim is the most amazing guide!! I can't say enough about him.  The trip exceeded my expectations from the get go. Amazing accommodations.  Great group of women. But Tim was exceptional.  He kept our safety a priority, great personality,  obviously super fit and knowledgeable. I never doubted him for a minute. I will definitely look for him to be my guide in the future.  Let me know where to share my opinions!! Absolutely wonderful! I was also provided all the info I needed to prepare for the trip. THANK YOU!” Elaine S

It was a sensational trip with 15 strong, capable and soul-searching women! Phenomenal outdoor experience in pristine wilderness that challenges your senses and creates an ethereal experience and bond with nature and great people. Highly recommend!
By Cyndi R for Idaho 2024: Main Salmon River Women’s River Rafting Trip on Sep 09, 2024
It was an amazing experience with fantastic guides and people! Lori is the best and it was fun to meet Kelly, too. The beauty, wildlife, fantastic food and new friendships were beyond fantastic. Some were out of their comfort zones, but Aggapah and Lori helped everyone adapt and learn new skills. The Aggapah staff was so much fun and could paddle and cook like no other. It was an adventure that I loved and hope to have more great adventures with Green Edventures.

Green Edventures has done it again!! This was a wonderful trip! Our trip leader, Lori, was organized and fun. The local guides were knowledgeable and cooked us delicious meals. Meeting women from all across the country and spending time with them learning about the history and land of Idaho was just what I needed after a busy few months. Thank you, Lori and Green Edventures. I can't wait to see what exciting trips you have planned for 2025!

The trip was absolutely fantastic! Everything went seamlessly, and when weather was an issue on a day, the group would pivot to another activity. Tara and Inga were fun and knowledgeable about all things Icelandic, so that was a bonus. Especially topics such as history and geography, and sharing their expertise -while driving to destinations - helped pass the time on the bus. I would highly recommend this travel company to any woman who wanted a fun edventure!

A trip that will make me smile for a life time. Organized, informative, great tour guide and host, pushed us to explore and learn about ourselves and Iceland. Women traveling were so much fun, easy to get along with and not afraid to be silly. Very comfortable traveling with women just met and everyone looked out for each other. Activities were designed for our abilities and if not comfortable, no pressure from our guides or other travelers. Always a way to be a part of the activity to make it work for you. Iceland was magical, mystical and a country worth a second visit for sure.

I went on an amazing trip with Tara to Baja, Mexico in 2020. This was a dream trip for me being a wildlife lover. It was incredible to be able to swim with whale sharks and sea lions and get up close with gray whales. Camping on the beach was amazing. We had a great group of women and everyone vibed well and all of the tour guides including Tara, Alex and Chabello were so fun, friendly and helpful every step of the way. The food was great at the campsite and at the restaurants we got to try. When our trip plans initially got derailed waiting on a negative Covid test and we had to get a different flight, Tara did everything in her power to accommodate us and make sure we got to enjoy every part of the trip, including setting us up with another whale shark swimming tour after we had missed the initial one with the group, and she spent time waiting for us to finish before leaving for the airport. I definitely recommend Green Edventures, especially the Baja Mexico trip!

I just returned from the Wisconsin Women's Tour and couldn't have asked for a better trip! For me, the amount and type of activity were perfect. Who know there was so much to discover practically in my own backyard?
