Unique things to do in Lake Huron

We'll meet at the launch point and your certified kayak guide will outfit you into your sea kayak. We'll launch from Gilly's Marina at Snug Harbour. We will spend the day exploring the islands of Georgian Bay with tips from your guide to help you efficiently glide through the crystal clear waters. These pristine granite islands, covered in windswept white pines, are part of our UNESCO biosphere reserve and are truly not to be missed during a visit to Ontario. You will paddle past old lighthouses—one, we can even see up close. The water surrounding the islands is clear and warm in the summer. Imagine swimming in an inland sea of fresh sweet water. We'll stop for lunch out on a quiet island. You will have time to explore the shoreline and swim before paddling home. We will paddle approximately 12km, depending on your experience level and how far you feel like paddling.

The full practice will take an hour. It will be primarily interval work with a cardio / muscle endurance focus. Stay for a guided beach meditation if you like. This has been a proven method to boost strength, improve heart health, and maximize metabolism (even after your workout). After meeting at the beach, we'll do a warm up and active stretch that will help prepare your body for the work. I'll then talk you through all the stations of work and physical flows we'll be engaging with, being sure to highlight proper form and functionality. Then we'll get into it. The meat of the exercise will last approximately 20-30 minutes. After, we'll focus on mobility, doing effective stretches that will help your body recover. Workouts will run between 2 and 7pm. You decide. I'll be bringing my bluetooth speaker as an option. We can either listen to the waves, my pick of 'pump you up' tunes, or you can put something on that you prefer.

During this beekeeping experience you will learn about the importance of honeybees and native pollinators, beekeeping basics, and have a chance to encounter amazing behaviours of honeybees first-hand. On our inspection visit to the beehives, we will put on protective suites and come in direct contact with the bees. The honey we will will taste is unheated, unpasteurized and unprocessed. It is collected by happy naturally-kept honeybees in the wild meadows of old Kinghurst Forest. Designated as an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI), Kinghurst Forest is a special place that offers a rare glimpse into Ontario’s natural past. The mature hardwood old-growth forest provides the honeybees and other pollinators with a rich variety of rare native wildflower forage in May and early June. These spring ephemerals – plants that bloom briefly in spring, before the trees leaf out - are one of southern Ontario’s most beautiful displays and provide a one-of-a-kind delicately rich and vibrant flavour to the honey. We’ll end the experience tasting local cheese and honey. If weather allows, our guests are welcome to have a picnic on the grounds after. Follow iamfreija on Instagram for latest updates and more photos. Please let us know if you are allergic to bees. Great for groups and as a teambuilding activity.
