BREAKING NEWS

Dear past guests and avid readers.

Upon the strongly recommended advice of my doctor, regarding a medical condition we are forced to pause most programming with our tours and excursions for the 2024 season.

“You have the back of an 89 year old” -Dr.

Working as a PSW for 20 years and 10 years with small vessel captain work have taken their toll, to a point where the pain and disruption cannot be ignored any longer.

“Walk like an Egyptian.” -Bangles

After 7 seasons, over 500 excursions at Long Point I’ve developed a bad back. I have begun to get relief from being hunched over and in pain but I’m going to need more time to get better.

The Plan.

I will take this time to not only heal physically but also develop some new routes and activities for 2025 to be ready with our classic and new activities on the water.

To our few guests with pre paid for excursions, these will be honoured. For guests who have gift certificates your passes will be honoured in 2025 with no further costs applied for fare increases, my apologies for the unforeseen delay.

To everyone who has been a past guest aboard, children we’ve seen grow up, over multiple seasons aboard, our last boat rides, first boat rides (babies are always free aboard our vessel) wedding proposals, club functions for the aged or young to experience Long Point first hand in spring, summer, fall, thank you for booking year upon year with us and we will see you in 2025.

To our suppliers and visit stops, thank you for keeping us running, fuelled, safe and fed over 7 seasons so far.

All my best, to everyone, for a safe and fun 2024. We will see everyone in 2025.

Regards

Long Point Island Hugger Tours

Who we are:

Long Point Island Hugger Tours (LPIHT) is an on-water boating tour business operating in Southern Ontario on Lake Erie. LPIHT operates in a sustainable manner towards the waterways and ecosystems we traverse, evident in our water routes, the low environmental impact vessel we use (25-foot pontoon boat), or even the engine which powers us (4stroke) and our new electric motor to really experience the Long Point marsh with less noise. LPIHT additionally keeps to a maximum of 8-10 guests per tour, keeping our footprint on this beautiful area to a minimum while at the same time providing our guests a more personable experience.

Experiences we create on Tour:

LPIHT is proud to offer natural history tours of the inner bay and lake marsh systems. Through a combination of beautiful locations, conversations on flora and fauna, geology, glaciations, invasive species, and other key notes we will show you the complex systems in play, within the marsh, all working together to provide the many roles it serves to both wildlife and humans. We are very proud to serve Norfolk County. Our staff and special guests have interesting stories of the past, further immersing you in your Long Point Experience. We offer tours weekly, at multiple times and locations, meeting in Port Rowan.  For availability of tours and times please press

The Charter Experience:

Our captain will find you and your guests that memorable on-water location to enjoy all Long Point has to offer boaters. Experiences like swimming, wildlife and landscape photography, team building, client experiences, even wedding services are available.
