Guided canoeing and kayaking expeditions are offered, as well as climbing and rappelling with instruction. Visitors can also explore the area's hiking trails on their own. The active lighthouse itself is still owned and maintained by the Canadian Coast Guard, but visitors can tour the tower. Free tours of the site and surroundings are available to school groups. Middle school and high school "adventure camps" are held each summer. Call (506) 856-6081 (off season) or (506) 887-2273 (in season) for more information.
