Description
We launch the kayaks just north of Cave Point County Park and begin our paddle down the beautiful, rocky shores of Lake Michigan. On the way to the caves, guests will have the opportunity to gain confidence in their paddling as they pass by the wonderful lakefront scenery. After just over a mile, the coves and caves will start to appear above and below the waterline, and kayakers will be treated to amazing views that can only be viewed from the water. Pictures can hardly do justice to the sights and sounds you will experience while paddling around these geologic wonders.
If time and weather permit, our guide will take you into a cave to see the wonders on the inside!
We will meet you at our location **6329 Highway 57 in Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235 ** 30 minutes before your scheduled tour time.
