    Took about tour of the Upper Dells. The tour guide was amazing and the information provided along the boat ride was informative, historical and interesting. The sites we saw were amazing geological sites and I highly recommend this tour.

    Getting off the boat
    Julie L.

    We did a 430 sunset cruise on a Sunday. I was a little Leary at first with the $80 price tag and plastic seats. Keep in mind it is first come first serve seating and the line you in on benches outside the boat. Get there early. Salad immediately and then food later (cooked on dock) from Chula Vista while you walked around witches gulch. It was a beautiful ride, excellent food, bathrooms on boat. One hour open bar & live music with an excellent singer. All that was well worth it! My only issue is that the boat literally went around in circles for about 30 min after dinner while viewing sun (and not big circles around lake...like actual circles around and around) we kept going into our own fumes. My cousin got ill. I don't understand that part so I don't think I'd do it again. It was beautiful and worth money but could use a couple tweaks.

    It is truly an ok experience. Unfortunately it is a tourist trap monopoly, like many other spots in the Dells. Parking was full up top so we had to go buy tickets and park at the lower lot and take a bus up. Then wait in line to board the boat. They do fill up every boat so it isn't the most personal experience. The guide did a fine job telling the stories and highlighting the features along the river. You dock at two spots Witch's Gulch and Standing rock. Both stops are very quick and we stay on the path with everyone else. The vegetation and habit of witch's gulch is so cool it's a bummer that they have totally privatized such a cool natural place. They walked you to a snack shack at both stops, more money grab. It is not a cheap experience so I just expected a little more.

    There are two Dells boat tours. One is the upper Dells and the other is the lower Dells. We've done both. The upper Dells boat is by the downtown area off Broadway and the other is by Bella Goose. They are both scenic and make for some great pictures. There are seats on top of the boat where you can view the tour and get some sun at the same time. Boats fill up quickly, so arrive on time.,

    We took the Upper Dells boat tour. Jenna (pilot) and Adelynn (tour guide) were our guides. They were knowledgeable, humorous, and friendly. We toured up the Wisconsin River. Our first stop was at Witches Gulch. Then Sandstone to watch a dog jump from one rock to the other next. I would definitely recommend this tour. Discounts are available in the coupon books

    Saw this on tik tok and it was one of the main reasons I went to the Dells. Took the upper boat tour because I wanted to see witches Gulch. Walked right up to the ticket booth and bought a ticket for me and my date. Theres an option to buy online but it was possibly going to rain that day so I decided to just go there. Staff was very friendly and the boat tour guides were great. Witches Gulch was so cool to see and so was the dog jumping the gap. Beautiful scenery during the ride, very peaceful. At the end we got photos from when we boarded. Overall great experience and would recommend to anyone in the area!

    I cannot recommend this experience enough! You had the options of the upper or lower deck on the boat. The stops were gorgeous and a perfect way to interact with this beautiful area. Beau was an excellent captain and Henry was a fantastic tour guide! If you are visiting Wisconsin Dells, this is a must do!

    We had a great time on Dells Boat Tours. It ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. The tour takes you along the beautiful Wisconsin River where you can see the famous rock formations of the Wisconsin Dells. Pictures really don't do it justice -- the cliffs and sandstone formations are much more impressive in person. The tour is about 2 hours long and includes two stops where you get off the boat to explore. One stop is at Witches Gulch where you walk through a narrow, mossy canyon that feels almost magical, and the other is Stand Rock where you can see one of the Dells' most famous rock formations up close. The guides did a great job sharing the history of the area, including how parts of the Dells were preserved from developers, which is why the scenery still looks so natural today. Overall it was a really relaxing and enjoyable tour. The views, the history, and being out on the river made it well worth it. Definitely recommend if you're visiting the Dells!

    Everything was perfect. A little overcast day, but it made it even a little bit more enjoyable. We enjoyed the captain, John and his nephew Henry. They were very knowledgeable and made the trip a little extra special. We were on the Chicagoan!! It was very helpful that they pointed out areas to take pictures, told stories about the area, and our favorite, the dog jump!!

    I took the Wisconsin Dells boat tour to Witch's Gulch, and it's definitely worth it. The boat ride takes you across the lake to this stunning slot canyon, which you can explore on a platform walk--highly recommend it, since the only way to get there is by boat (no walking through the park). Once there, the tour makes two stops: one at the famous "Witch's Gulch and another at a spot known for a legendary dog that jumps on a toweing rock. There are restrooms and some concessions at both stops, which is nice. The staff were friendly, funny, and shared interesting facts throughout the tour. Overall, if you're visiting Wisconsin Dells, this is a must-do experience!

    We were looking for something scenic, calm and peaceful and this delivered! Our tour guide was a wonderful young woman amd she was so friendly and did her job so well. Out pilot was also very informative and very nice. We met some wonderful people on the boat too. So scenic, cost $35 per person but so worth it. Two different places to get off and walk, loved witches gulch the best. Food, gift shop and restrooms at both stops.

    Though I do feel like a lot of things have gotten ruined by Taurus into Wisconsin Dells the Dells boat tours feels unmatched compared to things to do in the area. I booked my boat tour online and when you book it online you could see any boat tour basically which I didn't know. When I showed up to the Dells they didn't tell me what the start times were for the boat tours. Thankfully me and my wife were able to catch the 6:00 tour. The staff here were really friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating I was also happy that the tour boat size amount of passengers was actually really small which made this trip feel a lot more personable and specialized. I can't believe that the tour guide was an 18 year old just graduated high school because he was so good at his job it felt like he was doing this for years. The sites that you will see are phenomenal , the places the boat will stop at are phenomenal as well with plenty of great short walk and experiences which have restrooms and concession stands as well. This is definitely worth the two hour Adventure too they also feature other similar tours as well but I definitely consider this one my favorite one of all I get this place 4.5 Stars and I was overall very happy with my journey

    I went for Upper Dells tour on a Saturday. The area was beautiful. It was a tour worth taking. Captian was very experienced. There were 2 stops in the middle of the nature - Witches Gulches and Standing Rock. Both places were beautiful.

    Ask the Community - Dells Boat Tours

    Is this Upper Dells boat tour wheelchair accessible?

    I don't think so. There are stairs up and down to the two seating levels on the boat.

    How long is the tour?

    My family went on the Upper Dells tour and it lasted approximately two hours.

    Are there bathrooms on the upper dells boat tour?

    There are no bathrooms on the boats but there is bathrooms at the end of the witches gulch path. There is probably bathrooms at the second stop also. The concessions area was closed at the time we were there, the end of April.

    Out of everything I did in Wisconsin, this was my favorite thing and it was actually a last minute…read moreaddition to the itinerary. I did 0 plans to do this. I love cave tours - which is what I was looking for - and came across this tour. This was very different than anything I ever done before which is why I ultimately chose it. And I made a good choice. I did not book ahead of time. I just showed up and they were able to take me. The whole thing lasted about 40 minutes. I wish it was longer. The pulled horses will take you through the canyon while the tour guides talks about the area, the canyons. It takes you through winding rock formations and narrow alleys. It is really beautiful and it doesn't matter how hot it is, it feels so good on the tour due to all the shade. It was very hot on the day I went but it felt great! We also got to see on Deer on the tour! It was a lot of fun and I did buy a t-shirt because I liked it so much. I would definitely recommend to check out at least once!

    Took the family to Wisconsin Dells for the 4th of July weekend and did the Lost Canyon Tour on July…read more3rd. Anna was our guide, and Marvin & Mark were the horse‑powered dream team pulling us through the canyon like absolute professionals. Anna nailed it! She was friendly, funny, and knew the canyon history like she wrote the book. The scenery? Gorgeous. The horses? Legends. The whole tour? Peak vacation greatness. If you're bringing your family to the Dells, do this. It's beautiful, it's fun, and nobody gets sunburned in a canyon.
