Porphyry Island Lighthouse and Nature Reserve offers stunning surroundings where light keepers have lived for 150 years.
A great way to create a corporate retreat with lots to do in a unique and diversified setting. The lighthouse is located 45km east of Thunder Bay. The retreat lasts three days and takes advantage of a scheduled charter route with discounted rate. The total cost for four (4) people includes the charter fee from Silver Islet and a three-day house rental $950 or $237.50 per person. (other guest and options available as the house sleep six, additional accommodations available.)
After sending us an email of your intended date, we’ll arranging transportation and house rental, which includes an onsite safety orientation, guided lighthouse tour, and introduction to the Island’s features. The black sands beach offers scenic walking trails and a place to sunbathe.
Visitors can experience life as a light keeper on a Lake Superior island and learn about its history. Activities of your retreat could include photography, yoga, fitness, environmental issues, and art.
Enjoy a light keeper’s experience during the day with morning and afternoon sessions at various learning locations, followed by relaxation at night with saunas, campfires, and stargazing. The keeper’s dwelling provides basic amenities for the four-day stay. Explore Lake Superior’s natural environment, including black-sand beaches while enjoying a slower pace.
As a visitor of the Group Retreat, bring your sleeping bag, pillowcase, and layered clothing. The accommodation includes a house with six beds, solar recharge centre, running cold water, filtered water, propane stove and fridge. You need to bring your own food, and cell service is available on the point. After an orientation, you can start your retreat or relax. If you have more people, you can book other accommodation options.
Potential dates for the 2026 Season still to be determined.
