    When you have a option to go on a cruise, take it! Our time in the upper peninsula was refreshing…read more Being out on the water for a sunset cruise made it even better. It was beautiful! Please keep in mind that Lake Superior is the coldest of the Great Lakes, so once the sun sets it gets cold! There is an option to be on the bottom deck, which is enclosed. Part of the middle deck also has windows to shield the air. If you want to remain in the open air, you'll need a blanket and coat! Happy cruising. Also check out the store. They have many cool items for sale.

    We saw what we could via trails and via car routes…read more 2 hour boat ride that rides along all of the rocks along the shore. The $46 ride is all of the rocks. Next ride is at 2PM. The $54 ride is all of the rocks + the spray falls. Next ride is at 3PM. Waiting to sit in chairs to start the boarding process at 2:45 PM. There are two rows of seats are already full outside on the dock. We are seated by 2:34pm, in the second group or 4th row. We took the 4th row of seats, even though there are open seats in the 3rd row, but it's facing right into the sun. Need to stay cooler and thus our back to the sun. A staffer checks in guest last names and count, while we are seated. Boarding the cruise boat by 2:47pm. Pushing off from the docks by 3pm. Right on time and we aren't even in Korea or Japan. Fancy that! We are off by 3:03pm. Knots and wind is picking up. Hair is up. The boat is called Spray Falls. Boat was built in 2022. The captain is funny, gregarious, captain Noah. 63 Feet boat. Holds 150 people. Boat can get up to 25 MPH. Run by 2 caterpillar diesel fuel engines. Captain Noah. Cheyenne and Ashley are part of the crew. The rocks will be on the right on our way out and on the left on the way back. Castle Rock by 3:25pm. Chapel Cove by 3:56pm, we were able to ride inside the cove. Passing by Spray Falls by 4:03pm. Not sure it was worth the extra $8 for the rather small falls. The rock formations are worth the visit for sure. Turning around now by 4:06pm. Good thing. I am pretty done with seeing the rocks by now. We are back at the docks by 5:06pm. Disembarking by 5:08pm.

    A must do if you're in Fish Creek! So glad we made the time, we had a wonderful experience and the…read moreviews were incredible. Our boat was captained by Brian and his deck hand/entertainment of the night was Ben; both very professional and got us out and back in safely. Ben was fantastic on the acoustic guitar, excellent voice and sense of humor. It was a small group when we went but he still worked the crowd. The boat was clean and I appreciated that they had binoculars available in each bench seat so you could take advantage of seeing the sights. Ben also does some of the scenic tours so he threw in a few nuggets of info about the area in between songs but overall the focus was on the music and enjoying the views. Sunset was perfect! Would highly recommend.

    It was a delightful and calm Sunday afternoon and we took our first Door County boat tour with this…read morecompany. It was a 1.5 hour interesting and enlightening guided tour highlighting elegant, historic, and hidden Cottage Row in the town of Gibraltar, the Strawberry Islands, and the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse. The all-in cost for us 2 seniors was $91.79. We boarded their boat named Quo Vadis and it has a capacity of 58 we were told. Betsy was our engaging and informative tour guide and she was a great local narrator and guide having been raised on nearby Chambers Island. From a nature and wildlife standpoint, we saw double-crested cormorants, white pelicans, a bald eagle, and a big eagle's nest along the way. Betsy added a lot of local color and flavor and trivia to the talk and it was just what I enjoyed hearing to gain more insight into this charming area. Big thumbs up and we would take another of their tours if we were up here at the right time and conditions again.

    The staff was somewhere between unprofessional, unsafe, and disorganized. After inspecting a crack…read morein a kayak, they first decided to not let anyone use it, but when they were short kayaks, two younger boys were allowed in. The verged on rude during the entire morning. most of the dry bags are very old and pretty useless. the spray skirts were the same. there was endless chaos getting everyone ready for over an hour. The guide was nice but only engaged us in about 5 minutes of information about the sandstone cliffs and it was all information you could get from a visitor center. If you want a naturalist, better to find out who is leading your trip. There was no lunch provided which seems ridiculous for the money paid. We couldn't tell if they cancelled a portion of our trip because of weather (as stated) or because their kayak transport pontoon boat had sunk at the put-in spot. Their website states 6 hours of paddling. After the morning debacle, we paddled leisurely for 2 hours to lunch and less than 2 hours back (with the wind). The 'long paddle' we were supposed to do was supposedly only 2 hours further, far short of the 8 total hours mentioned on their site. I guess their times include waiting in the parking lot, waiting for them to organize on the beach, and a very leisurely 1 hour on a beach eating the lunch you bring along. Seeing the views from the a kayak is great, but this company is not.

    6 of us had this lake trout charter lined up for months, we were told to be at the lower harbor in…read moreMarquette at 6 am July 6 2013. We confirmed the location and time before. I live in Houghton and have spent 20 years on Lake Superior and know the dangers well. I left my house at 3:30 am and started to drive the 2+ hours, one hour into the drive I noticed the wind was really blowing, I called the guys and asked if Ducky would call if the waves were too big to fish or too dangerous to go, no calls, so we continue, I get there at 5:40, my friends pull in and we spend the next 40 minutes looking for the charter boat and calling Ducky with no answer. 7 am Ducky calls back and says we are still on but he is confused why we were in Marquette, we needed to drive 20 minutes more to shelter bay. Remember we confirmed Marquette. So we drive the extra 20 and the captain tells us we can go if we want, but he doesn't recommend it as the waves are 6 to 8 feet and building making it impossible to fish, I had the feeling this would happen, but Ducky had no regard for his captain or customers he was only concerned that he get his cut of the $1200 bucks we would have paid. Hey guys you can go in small craft advisories, just make sure you pay up front....A simple phone call to reschedule would have saved us all a lot of time and money and we would have been writing a different review as well. $70 bucks on gas, 6 hours round trip driving time and a waste of time could have been avoided with a simple call. There are many real good lake trout charter outfits, I recommend you look into any other service but this one.
