Getting to Ojibway Lodge
Ojibway's island location means you can only drive your car so far. You’ll need to make reservations in advance to take a boat shuttle or reserve a floatplane service to get to Devil's Island.
Boat Shuttles:
To and From Ojibway: Reserve by emailing shuttle@keewaydin.org.
Cost: $90 per person (round trip); families capped at $270.
From Loon Lodge: Reserve by calling 705-237-8918.
We kindly ask that all guests plan to arrive before 7:30 pm, as we do not offer boat pickups after this time. If your travels are delayed and you’re unable to meet the boat by 7:30 pm, we recommend staying overnight in North Bay or at Temagami Shores.
We’ll be happy to pick you up early the next morning!
Arrival & Departure:
Check-in: Afternoon arrival is standard. Early check-ins before lunch require 48 hours notice to prepare.
Check-out: Guests typically depart after breakfast, between 9 and 10 a.m. Early breakfasts are available upon request.
