Sea Caves Assisted Boat Tour ( You Drive )

This is the Bunny Hill of sea cave boat tours and you drive a boat that we provide with all the gear. It’s easy, it’s safe, and it’s meant for adventurous beginners. But don’t mistake that for luxury.  We guide you from a separate boat.

Boat Types:  Know What You’re Getting

Groups of 2 people will be assigned a tiller-driven 14-foot aluminum fishing boat. These are rugged, open boats with bench seats and no steering wheel, driven by a 4-stroke outboard motor. No frills. Just function.

Groups of 3 or more will get a 16′ boat with a steering wheel and more comfortable seating. Still not a yacht, but definitely easier on your back.

Groups of 4-6 will get our nicest 18′ Lund with comfortable seating and a steering wheel operated 4 stroke motor.

If you’re booking as a pair, be sure you’re ups for it. The two-person boat is the least comfortable option, great for tough, active friends or couples who want the real deal.

What This  Tour Is

This tour is designed to get you up close to real sea caves—without having to paddle. We use small boats on calm, shallow water to explore less intense but still beautiful sandstone formations along Chequamegon Bay.

These are not Devil’s Island, not Meyers Beach, and not the west side caves. These are gentle, beginner-level sea caves, perfect for learning and adventure.

What This Is NOT

This is not a cruise.

This is not a yacht tour.

This is not a relaxing float with plush seats.

These boats are small, open, and functional. No windshields. No captain’s chairs. No luxury anything. If you need lumbar support youll want a boat that has a steering wheel and that is only available to groups of 3 or larger.

Final Word

This tour is meant to be easy, but it still requires participation. You’ll be in a real boat on real water. You might get splashed. You’ll be sitting upright. You’ll be paying attention.

If you want something simple but adventurous, this is a great choice.

But if you’re the type to complain about boat seats, weather, spray, bugs, or the fact that nature isn’t climate-controlled—do not book this tour.
