To North Americans the loon is a symbol of wilderness and solitude. Its' stunning beauty has made it one of the most sought after birds to photograph. To get close to our subject we use a very stable boat with comfortable swivel seats and a removable bimini top to protect us from the sun & rain. The 20 hp outboard will get us to our destination quickly, but when we arrive a silent electric motor gets us in close to the loon & offers you up close photo opportunities. As always, Algonquin Park landscape and wildlife possibilities are endless, and your professional Guide Michael Bertelsen will ensure maximun oppertunities are given.

Itinerary: Meet at Algonquin Lakeside Inn.,which is an ideal location as we will be on the water for the early morning light. Breakfast will be served on board the boat, and by midday, we will return in order to rest and have some lunch. The group will meet back at The Algonquin Lakeside Inn so we can be back on the water for the evening light. Snacks and bottled water served on board the boat.
