One of the northernmost islands we paddle on our tours, Stuart Island is only accessible by boat. The island boasts numerous rocky, forested coves and inlets, sweeping views and numerous bald eagle nests. We use our trusty Dutch oven to bake this delicious dessert but you may also use your oven at home.
