Night Caves Assisted Boat Tour (You Drive)

IMPORTANT: YOU MUST PROVIDE YOUR OWN BOAT DRIVER(S)
We provide the boats, fuel, navigation lights, and all required safety gear — but you are responsible for driving your own boat. These are small aluminum boats with outboard motors. If you are not comfortable operating a motorized boat, do not book this tour.

• Groups of 2 to 3 people will be assigned a tiller-driven boat (steered by hand using a tiller, not a steering wheel) and must provide 1 capable boat driver

• Groups of 4 to 5 people must provide 1 boat driver

• Groups of 6 to 8 people must provide 2 boat drivers

• Groups of 9 to 11 people must provide 3 boat drivers

• Groups of 12 people must provide 4 boat drivers

We do not supply boat operators. Every boat must have a qualified driver provided by your group.

Night Sea Caves Boat Tour – Chequamegon Bay

Duration: 2 Hours
Launch Location: Washburn Marina Boat Ramp, 1 Marina Drive, Washburn, WI 54891
Passenger Weight Limit: 30 to 300 pounds

This night boat tour explores four sea caves located in the safest, shallowest, and calmest waters of the Apostle Islands region — all within or near Chequamegon Bay. The route includes caves at Houghton Point

Our boats are small and maneuverable enough to enter the sea caves directly — something the large commercial tour boats can’t do. After dark, underwater lights illuminate the caves and reveal fish, formations, and reflections that can’t be seen during the day.

Tour Highlights:

• Explore 4 secluded sea caves

• Calm, warm waters ideal for small boats

• Quiet, uncrowded experience on Lake Superior

• Boats equipped with underwater lighting

• Stunning nighttime atmosphere and lake views

What to Bring:

• Light jacket or sweatshirt

• Bug spray

• Waterproof camera

• Cooler with drinks and snacks

• Motion sickness remedy if needed

• Towel and swimsuit (optional)

• Sunscreen for early evening sun

Restrooms are available at the Washburn Marina before launch.

REMINDER:
If no one in your group is capable of safely operating a small motorized boat, this tour is not suitable for you. Each boat must have a competent driver.
