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

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.

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.

The Siskiwit River cascading waterfalls is something you really don't want to miss. You can walk along side of the river over new boardwalks on the 102 acre preserve, or fish in the kettle hole downstream. Be sure to wear your water shoes because it can get slippery with the moss on the rocks! I have been coming to this special place for years. It was owned by Swenson family and we enjoyed many visits to the cabins along the river (the cabins have been removed to make the parking area). Originally, this was a apple orchard and farm (you can still find the apple trees here today). THIS is how much I love Yelp....I'm divulging the location of this special spot!

We spent half a day on the Black Hawk II and Ken ran us out to Stockton Island to fish.

You will enjoy Ken's engaging personality and certainly his expertise on knowing where the fish are and how to safely navigate on Lake Superior. His dog Lucy will keep you company while you wait for the signal, 'fish on!'. We fed 8 people on our 1/2 day catch and the best part is, Ken cleans the fish! A great experience, give Ken a call, he'll take great care of you.
