Captain Pete really knows his stuff and made this a most memorable trip. His boat skills allowed us to get up into the caves and experience the site and sound up close.

I didn't want to sit in open air sunlight for 3 hours, so I sat in the lower deck by a huge window, and the view was amazing. The tour guide does a great job of explaining the history and also turning the boat around at view points so that people on either side of the boat can experience the great views. They also have water and light snacks on board for purchase but you are allowed to carry your own water and snacks as well. Depending on the time of the year you visit, it can get chilly. Pro Tip: Sit on the left side of the cruise for nice views.

I have done the safety reviews with Superior Charters' captains and have found them to be very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

Upon entry, you can purchase your ticket directly on the dock in either a 1-way or round trip. If you're good with keeping a ticketed piece of paper, you can attempt the round trip if you need to come back. Otherwise, we didn't like the idea that our ticket could get lost so we always did a 1-way. Vehicles of all kinds load onto the ferry with an extremely efficient staff and then magic happens as you are transported in about 20 minutes. Dogs are welcomed on the ferry along with bikes, scooters and walk-ons. Our lesson learned was that we didn't need to take our vehicle everywhere and the next time we visit, we plan to do a lot more commuting via foot. In addition, it's way cheaper to travel without a vehicle. There is a ferry schedule posted online and lots of hard copy handouts around town. Once the ferry is going across Lake Superior, if you can exit the car (sometimes you can't depending on how tight parking is), you can walk up the steps to the observation deck or stand near your vehicle. I like that there's a variety of ways to travel and I imagine locals see this is just another bus or train route like any other means of transportation. Contrary, visitors will always be in awe as it's not something you see everyday. Shout out to the staff and operations as the ferry was always on time, on schedule and staff were kind. We had beautiful weather in late September / early October so the air and colors were poppin'. Thank you!!

Sea kayaks are recommended for venturing out into the lake as well as wet or dry suits. Do not underestimate Lake Superior as the water temperature is much, much colder than other lakes due to its depth, and the swells can get up to 6 feet tall, knocking you off your boat. People have gotten hypothermia even in the summer. I also visited the Visitor Center and Headquarters in Bayfield, as well as the visitor center in Little Sand Bay. The headquarters had exhibits, a movie, small gift shop area, and of course friendly rangers! The Little Sand Bay visitor center had exhibits outside. While it wasn't staffed, the vestibule was open for brochures. It's on my bucket list to visit again during the winter for the ice caves.

Skip Madeline Island if your schedule is tight. Highlights: Sea Caves - my favorites were the northeastern edge of Sand Island (next to Justice Bay). They are so breathtakingly beautiful, especially in sunrise or sunset lighting. Since we took our boat, we were able to get up close to see all the spectacular details. If you don't have a boat, rent kayaks and a tour guide to get up close views. Grand Tour - we drove to Bayfield to ride a large catamaran boat for a 3 hour tour of the Apostle Islands. Visitor Centers - they were full of interesting info and has some fun merch for souvenirs. Many people rave about their experience visiting Madeline Island (the largest island) which isn't actually a part of the National Lakeshore, but we found it rather outdated and boring and left on the very next ferry.

We opted for the 23-hour rental and returned our vehicle late on a warm July evening after a 125 miles tour from Seeley to Cable to Clam Lake and Hayward - by way of an amazing trail network and a few county roads. I've been in the Hayward area for more than 50 years and saw places on this tour I've not seen before. I had nearly as much fun sitting next to my wife and looking at the landscape as I did when I was behind the wheel navigating the trails. Runamuk provides everything you need for a trip. Consider bringing ear protection - the machines are loud. Don't forget sunglasses and a rag to wipe to them clean after trekking a puddle or two.

We rode right after a big storm and got nice and wet and muddy from splashing through large rain puddles along the trails. The vehicles were very sturdy and we felt perfectly safe, even through some rough terrain. Jim also had us stop at a few spots along the way to show us some beautiful scenery and tell us a bit about the history of the area. Most of us hadn't been on or driven ATVs before and all of us would do it again! As far as the value goes, for 3 generations to spend a quarter of a day doing something we all enjoyed and had never done before, we felt it was worth every penny. Communication from Joan prior to our tour was excellent. She answered our questions promptly and thoroughly. Both she and Jim were wonderful. We will likely do business with them in the future! We look forward to more adventures!
