Nichole is a great leader! We got caught in a storm and had to get to shore early but still had fun!

Apostle Islands Rustic Makwa Den - Breathtaking sea caves

Apostle Islands Rustic Makwa Den

We booked a sea caves kayak tour with Rustic Makwa over Labor Day weekend, and my experience could…read morehave definitely been better. The good - Our guide was excellent - he showed great care in talking about safety while on land, he was patient with the people on the tour who were new to kayaking, and he made sure to lead us to all the sea caves and point out great pictures spots without making the tour feel rushed. The experience on the water was good, and the beauty of the sea caves is just breathtaking. The bad - The communication prior to the start of the tour. We arrived at Meyers Beach around 15 minutes before our 3 PM tour (per the instructions in the confirmation email), and we did not see anyone there associated with Rustic Makwa. Time passes until 2:55, and we still do not see anyone. I check my email: nothing. I eventually call the phone number on the email, and I am assured the guide is "on his way, will be there shortly after 3". We waited until about 3:10, and nobody had arrived. I call the number again and am told that the guide will be there by 3:20. We wait until 3:30, and I text the number: I am told the guide is close by. Finally, around 3:40, just as we are about to leave, our guide finally arrived. Apparently, the guide was waiting for the winds to die down a bit before starting the tour - hence the delay. While I appreciated the tour's commitment to safety, the lack of communication was disheartening. There were only three groups on our tour. The time it would have taken to update us on the tour's current conditions/status (via email/text/phone call) would not have taken long. I understand the weather is unpredictable, and it isn't easy to make the call sometimes on whether or not tours can safely be conducted. However, providing information and updates (without having me chase the information down) would have allowed us to better use our limited time in Bayfield by not having us wait in the parking lot area for almost an hour.

This place was the only Kayaking service still running in October. I did have an issue with this…read morebeing my first time kayaking and I was really far back in water in the group. Leader should have looked back and waited as I was learning how to propel and maneuver a kayak for the first time. We had a great time. The Meyers Beach tour is over by Sept, and the Red Cliff Sea Cave Tour is the only one left. While this was great, I would like to go to the other tour cause I think they have more sea caves. We did get to see how serene everything is, and got very fortunate with the calm waters and warm weather 2 weeks into October. The massive arch at the end is great and the lead takes photos for everyone. The kayaking into the caves is exciting and a little creepy. It's challenging to take photos and kayak.

Here is my google review. This is the same company…read more Would not recommend. Beware! They are NOT an approved kayaking company by the National Park Service. They rented my son tandem kayaks to go to the Apostle Islands. They gave him a broken radio, no bilge pump and no cockpit cover. They ended up refunding him after he told them that the National Park Service and L5 Kayak expert they ran into told them that this company was putting them at risk for injury or even death. They refused to allow me to talk to the owner. They are comfortable renting broken equipment, allowing you to kayak in a tandem without a cockpit cover so that it fills with water and then not supplying the required bilge pump to get the water out. Go on the National Park Service web page and find a kayak group that meets standards- stay away from this company as it could put your life at risk. The company responded to my google review with this lie "We provided your son and his friend with a detailed two-hour safety course before their rental, clearly demonstrating how to safely use a tandem kayak as intende, with two people paddling together. Despite this, they made the unsafe decision to paddle solo from the back seat and load gear (including beer) into the front cockpit -- a configuration we specifically warn against and prohibit in our waiver. Even though they knowingly violated the rules and misused the equipment, we still issued a full refund as a courtesy. We did this not because we were at fault, but because we recognize that Lake Superior is unforgiving, and we want all our guests to stay safe, even when they make poor choices. We sincerely hope future renters follow our safety training and use the equipment as instructed. We are always here to help, but we cannot prevent incidents when guests ignore the guidance they are given" This is a lie. My son and his friend rented 2 single kayaks. The company gave them 2 tandems. The ranger and another L5 kayak expert saw them before they launched and recommended they not go because they were rented improper equipment. They never even loaded them. What beer?! They are lying to make the reader think they are safe. Please call the Bayfield National park service yourself and talk to the rangers there. They are very familiar with this unsafe and deceptive company. Don't rely on social media. Talk to the experts yourself. You can email or call the park service and they will advise you.

We had a wonderful time. Be sure to give them a try and also check out their shop. Thanks!! July 2016 - We discovered these folks from a pamphlet we picked up in a restaurant down in Ashland. We had planned on going to Michigan for a day trip, but with the terrible storm damage and wash outs - decided to change our plans. Let me just say our Sea Cave trip with captain Mike could not have been any better! We had such a great time. The boat was so fun and fast. The lake and caves were great. And Mike was very personable and knowledgeable. Also, their gift shop is very nice too. I highly recommend. And the only thing I'm disappointed about, is the fact that we didn't discover them sooner. Our trip was ABSOLUTELY GREAT. Hard working people - helping families build lasting vacation memories. Highly recommend!!!!!!! Thanks again!!!!! Jamie Independence Iowa

As we never head another word, we arrived at the scheduled time only to be told that our trip had been canceled and they wouldn't be able to reschedule us on Saturday, Sunday or Monday (when we had to return home) and no other kayaking tours in the area were still running. As no other customers arrived for the tour and the wait lists were full, it was pretty clear that the other people signed up for our tour had been notified of the cancelation in advance. As we drove over 500 miles to kayak the sea caves, this was EXTREMELY disappointing and they made absolutely no effort to help us find other arrangements. At the end of the day, it turned out to be a blessing as we wound up booking a last minute wonderful private speed boat tour of Bear and Devil's Island with Rift & Ripple Island Tours that turned out be be cheaper, covered a lot more ground without battling challenging waves with a kayak, and still provided an intimate tour in and round the best sea caves in the area. I would definitely not book Aposte Islands Kayaking again and would highly recommend Peter & Ashley and Rift & Ripple Island Tours instead.
