Upon arrival at Winnipeg International Airport, you will be greeted at the terminal by a friendly chauffeur, who will
take you and your gear by car to the regional airline terminal. There you will board a 19 seat twin
turboprop aircraft for the approximately one hour flight to Island Lake Airport.

After landing at Island Lake, you will be greeted by yet another chauffeur
(also known as a fishing guide) who will take you to your water taxi
(also known as a fishing boat) for the short ride to the Lodge.
