Water Bus (M.V. Sandy) - Rock Harbor Area

Post by Midwest Ed »

I discovered through recent research that the Rock Harbor area regularly scheduled tours on the M.V. Sandy have formalized and published their desire and published rated for hikers that wish to use tour stops as a hiking demarcation point:

They are actually calling it a "Water Bus" now with very reasonable rates.

Ride one-way aboard The Sandy to Hidden Lake or Daisy Farm on the regular sightseeing schedule.

The Water Bus is great for you to ride along and hike back to Rock Harbor!

The Water Bus is standby only. We do not take advance reservations for The Sandy Sightseeing tours or Water Bus.

Hidden Lake: $16
Daisy Farm: $18
The destinations and scheduling are as a always, somewhat limited, but the rates are very good.

Lastly, the rate for the full round trip tours is also now published; Adult: $38.75, Children (11 and under): $19.50.

See the link above or The Greenstone Newletter for fixed scheduling availability
