Door County Kayak operates from Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, offering a mix of guided kayak tours, e-bike and quad bike rentals, plus unique self-guided art experiences. The company organizes short rentals (one to three hours) and longer guided trips (half-day and approximately four-hour outings) that highlight local landmarks such as Cave Point County Park, Whitefish Dunes, Door Bluff County Park, and Cana Island Lighthouse.
Guided kayak tours use stable sit-on-top kayaks with instruction and safety guidance included, making tours accessible to beginners and experienced paddlers alike. Highlighted experiences include the Door Bluff Shipwreck tours with views of the Schooner Fleetwing and Native American pictographs, Cave Point kayak excursions exploring caves and coves, and the Cave Point / Whitefish Dunes half-day paddle that includes a locally sourced picnic. E-bike offerings include single-hour rentals and the Cave Point Fat Tire E-Bike Tour along scenic overlooks and lakeshore roads. Quad (surrey) bike rentals accommodate two- and four-person bikes for family or couples’ rides.
Door County Kayak emphasizes safety with pre-ride and pre-paddle briefings and provides guided interpretation of local history and natural features. Bookings commonly specify tour duration, meeting location in Sturgeon Bay, and included equipment. The mix of rentals and guided options allows visitors to choose self-paced exploration or narrated tours for deeper local insight.
