Map of Our Island Hopping Route

Linda, one of our new friends on the tour, has done the Island Hopping tour multiple times.  She says every time it is different because of so many variables and options. Things like group preferences and abilities, weather, ocean currents, local events, hunting seasons, etc impact the guides' selection of routes, stopping points, and activities along the way. Having watched these discussions in action I can attest to this!  In fact, it would be almost impossible to exactly duplicate any one trip.

Below is a map and overview of how our trip went.  This map may be a useful reference when reading the details in future posts.
