Boreal Explorations EcoAdventures (BEEA) offers year-round ecotours within and around Voyageurs National Park located
in beautiful northern Minnesota. Our life enhancing
adventures provide the ultimate in silent sports tours and
meet environmental, cultural and economically sustainable principles. Through kayaking, skiing, snowshoeing, sailing,
wildlife viewing and more, Boreal defies traditional tourism boundaries to take you on adventures of explorations.

Boreal Explorations EcoAdventures is located in Ranier, Minnesota, three miles east of International Falls and will
provide eco-oriented adventure and educational travel opportunities on Rainy Lake and Voyageurs National Park.
BEEA specializes in ecotourism and outdoor adventure by providing half to multi-day tour packages, offered year round
in the form of: kayaking, sailing, boating, wildlife viewing, bird watching, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, summer and winter camping, fishing and cultural and scientific/natural history
learning adventures on Rainy Lake in Voyageurs National
Park, northern Minnesota. Basic kayak rentals, full-service expedition outfitting, and kayak lessons are also offered. A
two hour sea kayak lesson is a great and safe way to learn
the wonders of these amazingly safe boats. In addition, BEEA offers two hour sunset kayak cruises every Friday and Sunday evening at 6:00, leaving from the Rainy Lake Visitor Center.
This is a fun and educational way for the whole family to experience the grace of sea kayaking and view the beauty
of the park. No experience is necessary.

Guided trips with BEEA can be customized to meet the abilities, needs, and interests of all clients. Trips may be tailored toward multi-day high endurance wilderness expeditions for those interested in extreme adventure travel, or two hour relaxing, scenic picnic forays. Multi-day tours range from two days, one night, to up to seven days (or longer). These tours involve a combination of kayaking or sailing, camping, and if clients prefer, hiking. Winter tours involve snowshoeing or skiing with all the gear packed in toboggans. All tours can be customized to client’s preferences. Groups may request a guide for the entire trip, for portions of the trip or not at all. Depending on the experience and comfort level of the clients, the guide may be responsible for navigation and general trip logistics or they may be hired to provide interpretive programs along the way. Clients may also choose luxury trips. With a luxury trip, BEEA shuttles (via powerboat, or snowmobile) camping gear and food to the campsite each day of the trip. Clients will arrive at their campsite to find tents set up, equipment organized, and dinner supplies ready. BEEA’s guides are cooks par excellence and are proud to have a lot of fun cooking sumptuously delicious, unforgettable meals.

Boreal Explorations EcoAdventures welcome one-and-all to experience the beauty and wildness of this special place. Ride the waves comfortably and safely in a sea kayak or experience the quiet of a winter night beside a wood stove in a large, warm canvas tent. Through the seasons the landscape changes and we strive to be there, learning, laughing and exploring.
