This leisurely 2-mile round-trip excursion is designed with accessibility in mind. Perfect for those who wish to explore the sea caves but may include toddlers, non-swimmers, or seniors, as well as anyone seeking a gentle introduction or a relaxed experience akin to a bunny hill adventure.

Embark on a captivating journey through the Chequamegon Bay Sea Caves, where you’ll encounter three remarkable caves and one breathtakingly picturesque sea stack. This tour is renowned for its tranquil waters, making it the most reliably accessible among our offerings. Nestled in the sheltered confines of Chequamegon Bay, cancellations are a rarity, ensuring a serene paddle on glassy waters. 

While this tour caters to non-swimmers, toddlers and seniors, seasoned kayakers may find its leisurely pace and gentle currents a bit too tame. For those seeking a more invigorating challenge, we recommend our Houghton Point Sea Caves excursion.

Led by our ACA trained guides renowned for their rapport with children and wealth of local knowledge, this tour promises a relaxed, informative experience. Glide through the calm shallows marveling at the pristine beauty of the mainland sea caves of Chequamegon Bay.

In this tranquil sanctuary, where the bay’s shallow depths offer the warmest waters on Lake Superior, there’s no need for cumbersome wetsuits. Delight in exploring the intricate caves and soaring sandstone formations, including the iconic “Sea Stack,” a haven for cliff swallows and a photographer’s dream.

The serenity of this untouched landscape also presents opportunities to spot elusive Lake Superior agates, witness majestic eagles in flight, and, during autumn, catch glimpses of playful otters frolicking amidst the caves.

With its idyllic setting and minimal risk of weather-related cancellations—just a mere 10% chance—this tour promises a safe, easygoing, and truly unforgettable exploration of the Apostle Islands’ natural wonders.
