Hope you read the rest of my review, but first I want to share something that pisses me off! When we go out to eat at a restaurant we tip the waiter for their service... but when I've been in these types of tours I can't believe how many people don't tip! Not even a couple of bucks! The people giving these tours work harder, share more information , and in this case, do it for almost 3 hours. Much longer than the waiter who brings you a cheeseburger... so stop being so cheep... you know who you are! (End of sermon)! Our guide (Cam) was spectacular! She had so many interesting stories and knowledge of a world in a time that is long gone... (thank god!) The days of this type of deep mining by hand or handheld drill are long over with. Not just because it's not profitable, but because it was inhumane! (Well sadly more because it's not profitable ) Many people worked here until they died of lung issues or were deaf from the drills. Be prepared for at least a 2 1/2 hour tour in the depths of a tunnel in a mountain. Don't worry the paths are safe and large enough that it's shouldn't be a problem if you're worried about claustrophobic conditions. It is cold however... it stays around 40 degrees all year. And it is a little muddy so don't wear your good shoes. If you love history, or think seeing a defunct mine would be interesting, I highly recommend this tour. And give your guide a tip for gods sakes!

The Mohawk address is misleading as the tour boat is located just a couple of blocks west Copper Harbor. There a information brochures everywhere or go to their website. It is also a boat dock with full docking facilities. For $17 you board an old coast guard ship for a 20 minute ride out to the grounds. The guide is really knowledgeable about the history and gives a narrative on the way out and takes you on a tour of the grounds, the museum and the lighthouse. Total tour lasts about an hour and 45 minutes. They also have a great gift shop with a huge variety of nautical articles as well as the shirts and souvenir stuff. The prices are very reasonable.

Fine. I've been on plenty of lighthouse tours. Best part of this one was the somewhat rough water…read moreon the trip out. The guide "Captain Tim" didn't have a whole lot of depth on the operation or history of the lighthouse. I think he was likely more mariner than historian, and I personally would prefer the latter. The "tour" of the interior of the building was little more than unlocking the doors and locking them back. Nice enough guy though. Shore flies were HORRIFIC. Bite the bullet and wear long sleeves and pants if you're there in summer. The flies really sucked the fun out of the outdoor parts of the trip. There are much better lighthouse tours to be had.

When we come back to Copper Harbor next July we will definitely be hiring him again!
