The Mohawk address is misleading as the tour boat is located just a couple of blocks west Copper Harbor. There a information brochures everywhere or go to their website. It is also a boat dock with full docking facilities. For $17 you board an old coast guard ship for a 20 minute ride out to the grounds. The guide is really knowledgeable about the history and gives a narrative on the way out and takes you on a tour of the grounds, the museum and the lighthouse. Total tour lasts about an hour and 45 minutes. They also have a great gift shop with a huge variety of nautical articles as well as the shirts and souvenir stuff. The prices are very reasonable.

Fine. I've been on plenty of lighthouse tours. Best part of this one was the somewhat rough water…read moreon the trip out. The guide "Captain Tim" didn't have a whole lot of depth on the operation or history of the lighthouse. I think he was likely more mariner than historian, and I personally would prefer the latter. The "tour" of the interior of the building was little more than unlocking the doors and locking them back. Nice enough guy though. Shore flies were HORRIFIC. Bite the bullet and wear long sleeves and pants if you're there in summer. The flies really sucked the fun out of the outdoor parts of the trip. There are much better lighthouse tours to be had.

It was gorgeous on Lake Lac La Belle and Lake Fanny Hoe. Captain Jim definitely has a passion for fishing. He was also fun to hang out with. And Heuver is adorable. Captain Jim was particularly good with Ryan. Ryan loved the fact that he let him drive the speedboat. It was also nice that Captain Jim cleaned the fish for us, as we have no idea how to do that. When we come back to Copper Harbor next July we will definitely be hiring him again!

I was quite cautious about being a passenger in such a small plane, but this was the only option…read morethat would work with the itinerary. Yes, it is expensive, but the 45-60 minute flight is much quicker than the 3-6 hr ferry options. Check in was quite smooth. You park in the lot, and give them your car keys (I guess in case they need to move your car? It's also $8/day for parking). Your luggage gets weighed as there's a 45 lb limit per passenger (and no individual bag can weigh more than 45 lb). Thankfully they don't weigh the passengers, instead they just eyeball you and might tell you if you need to sit in a certain seat to balance the plane. The whole process was a breeze. The flight out was very smooth, while the flight back was a bit rough. It was raining pretty hard with a chance of thunderstorms, but as the weather improved, my flight wasn't delayed. There was a screen at the outside of the Rock Harbor visitor center with updates, but you can also ask the NPS ranger who has more detailed information too. The company tries their best to make sure you aren't delayed, including adding extra flights if there's a backlog. If you have the cash, definitely splurge on the seaplane as you get a cool view of the island, and you have the chance to sit in the co-pilot seat too!

I submitted my first request to their website on May 7th, they responded May 12th that "On 7/6 the latest available flight is 1pm." even though 1pm isn't an option in the dropdown, so I replied on May 16th that yes okay I'll book that time, again on May 21st, and then May 26th asking what to do. They replied "please resubmit. We discarded your request because you didn't respond from 5/12 to 5/16." ARE YOU KIDDING ME. That is so unhelpful. So I sent a screenshot showing how that isn't an option on the form and what time to select instead when I resubmit, and he replied "It's not in the menu but is one that we provide most days. Let us know if you want it." Like obviously I want it??? I've told you 3 times I want it??? So I resubmitted May 30th with the new incorrect time since both the times I wanted weren't listed, and didn't hear back until June 18th: "The requested flights are sold out." Well in the meantime I had to schedule the rest of my trip so I scheduled the Voyageur II boat from one part of the island to another, which now I cannot take, and because they took so long to reply I'm outside the cancellation window and have to eat the late cancellation costs. I called them and there is nothing they can do. They provided alternative options which is the inverse trip of what I wanted, which would require me to change my vacation dates and I still wouldn't make the boat that I have booked so I would have to eat that cancellation cost either way. They've sabotaged my entire trip that I've spent months meticulously planning out. Now if I want to go I have to rework my entire itinerary with only a week left to plan this, and hope that other routes to the island are available. Either way, I will not get to see the island as much as I had wanted, and I will have to eat the costs of the boat I reserved, all because of Jon and Kirsten at IsleRoyaleSeaplanes. I called the Voyageur company as well to explore alternative options, and they said they are not surprised to hear about my experience, and have seen this happen before. It is very well known that Isle Royale Seaplanes has horrible customer service and cancels on customers outside of weather reasons.
