Dear Valued Guests,
We’re excited to welcome you to an unforgettable adventure with us! To ensure the best experience possible, we’d like to share an important update about our launch process.
As you may know, the surrounding cities have implemented various permits and licensing regulations for launching from public beaches. While we fully respect these rules, they can create hurdles that detract from the seamless, stress-free experiences we aim to provide. That’s why we’ve reimagined our launch process to offer something even more unique and exclusive.
Going forward, all of our kayak tours will launch directly from a pontoon boat, adding a unique and exciting twist to your adventure. Depending on the location, guests will either board the boat at the dock or wade out a short distance to meet us before we set off. This new approach ensures a smoother, more enjoyable start to your journey while allowing us to avoid the crowds and bureaucratic hurdles of public beach launches, so we can focus on exploring the stunning natural beauty that awaits you.
This approach lets us focus on what we do best—connecting you with nature and crafting a one-of-a-kind experience. By stepping aboard, you’ll enjoy the tranquility of setting out directly from the water, away from the noise and restrictions of busy launch points.
We’re confident this change will enhance your tour and provide a unique, memorable start to your adventure. Thank you for your understanding, and we can’t wait to share this exciting new chapter with you!
For every kayak tour we offer, you’ll enjoy the convenience of free public parking right at the launch location. Instead of launching directly from the beach, our tours now begin from a pontoon boat anchored just 10 feet offshore in two feet of water. Please note that you’ll need to wade out to the pontoon boat, so be prepared to get wet. This unique launch method allows us greater flexibility to deliver a more seamless and memorable experience, ensuring you get the most out of your adventure!

Madeline Island has the least impressive sea cave of any that we tour, but has a rich cultural history.
Originally called Mooniingwanekaaning (“The island
Abundant with Yellow-shafted Norther Flicker”), the island was inhabited
for hundreds of years by the La Pointe Band of Lake Superior Chippewa,
an Ojibwa band of the Lake Superior Chippewa. The Caves on Madeline
Island are located at Big Bay State Park.
