Great experience! Due to rough waters we only got to see one of the two shipwrecks but the one was super impressive and we got a great tour of the area to boot! read more

Such a great time! It rained before and during our trip. You'd think that would have ruined our at least put a kink in our time. It didn't. These people know their stuff! They're kind, welcoming, funny and oh soo entertaining! What great staff you have! Shoot, I forgot accommodating and knowledgeable! We not only got information on shipwrecks while seeing them, they took us for a cruise (my favorite part). Stopped for pictures and even pointed out a bald Eagle for us tourist. We will return! Next time with the whole family! I appreciate your enthusiasm and love for your jobs! It's shines to each of your guest. It's impossible to not have a great time! read more

Well worth it! I am so glad we decided to take the tour. My teens loved it. We got so many great shots.

You can see a couple ship wrecks without going in the water! We had beautiful weather and calm seas. They do a good job of explaining what you're seeing and telling the history of how it got there. They also cruise by other points of interest on the way out. It was an hour and 45 minutes dock to dock. Time and money well spent! read more

We had a good time on this tour. We got to see two different shipwrecks a old lighthouse and a portion of grand island. The staff did an excellent job separating the group in order to maintain social distancing. I know this was a shipwreck tour, But I wish there was a little more time spent around the pictured rocks. All in all, it was money well spent. My children enjoyed seeing the shipwrecks and being out on the water. read more

A great way to enjoy the beauty of Lake Superior, hear some history of shipwrecks in the area, and see a couple, still visible underwater, through either the front of the boat, or the glass bottom sections. Pay attention to the weather and go on a nice day. Highly recommend. All the ages in our group enjoyed it, children and adults. read more

Yes I absolutely love this place! I have always felt most welcome and cared for plus got to see amazing shipwrecks

The tour was great. Seeing the two shipwrecks was pretty interesting, but the view of the shoreline was fantastic. Our Captain was very informative. read more

Awesome tour! Very friendly staff who made the trip very enjoyable. We cruise the area and see the light house, shore caves and formations and 2 underwater ship wrecks. The guides do a great job of explaining and narratives of the wrecks and even kept it interesting for both groups as we took turns looking. The price was fair and I would do it again. I would like to say it was 4 stars because it is a bit boring while you are in the group waiting to look through the glass bottom viewing area. read more

Great trip. The crew was awesome and shared some great information. The boat was perfect for viewing, especially the glass bottom area.

Considering how crowded the boat was, the experience was very good. You get to see two shipwrecks in parts, and the story telling was excellent. Great views, lots of history, and we went alongside the southeast side of Grand Island with nice picture taking opportunities. Everybody, the guide, the captain, even the gift shop people, were all very nice, and the boat left right on time. Boarding and getting off was easy and quick. Yeah, touristy as hell, but well worth it. read more

Tour guides were informational. The boat sighting was really interesting. You could see the first wreck close up. Would do again.

A wonderful family owned business!! We had lots of fun and laughs with Captain Kate! They are all so kind. Would do it again in a heart beat! read more

Fun for the entire family!!! This trip was certainly one worth making. The crew was very friendly and informative. The views? Breathtaking. Shipwrecks? Just cool. Seriously, we really enjoyed the ride. One of the shipwrecks were not visible due to weather--cant be helped-- so the company announced it would refund us half for this inconvenience. Honestly, I didnt expect a partial refund, but it was a pleasant surprise. As far as the boat goes, there is plenty of room and it doesnt really matter where you are seated. You can bring food and drinks on board, but NO ALCOHOL or tobacco products. If you are in the small, but beautiful town of Munising, I highly recommend Shipwreck Tours read more

This was an awesome tour. The staff was wonderful and very helpful, the shipwrecks were super cool, the boat was clean and had enough room where everyone got a chance to see the shipwrecks, and you weren't fighting to get a spot. They split the passengers in two groups and call each group separately to see the shipwrecks, which is nice. The captain and crew were very informative, and we appreciated getting super close up to Pictured Rocks, as well. We did a different tour the day before and loved that this was focused on the island and shipwrecks, so we weren't seeing the same things. Highly recommend it! read more

What a lovely afternoon! Maybe this is me being dumb, but I was disappointed that there were only two small glass-bottom areas to look in, and we had to do it in two groups and take turns. Not what I imagined a glass-bottom boat to be at all. Nevertheless, we had a great time and they two men running the boat were fantastic and did an amazing job explaining the history behind what we were seeing. The boat ride was super relaxing, and seeing the shipwrecks so close to the bottom of our boat was really interesting! Definitely worth the trip to see the area. read more

Amazing experience, learned a lot of history about the island, caverns, and shipwrecks. The captain was a great guy and made the entire trip fun! The shipwrecks are a must see, loved learning the history about the wrecks It does get chilly! Bring a coat! Pros: beautiful ride, captain put us in the cavern, lovely employees, kennels for dogs while you are on the boat, learned a lot, they have TVs that display the shipwrecks if you have sea legs, answer any questions you might have Cons: None read more

Beautiful scenery and helpful narration. 8 year old remained interested the entire time, 5 year old got restless by the end but not unexpected. Only issue was payment; a refund caused several transactions to post to my account which was confusing and still not entirely settled. Will definitely take future visitors on the excursion! read more

Quite an informative tour. Can bring food and drinks onboard. There is a military discount. Highly recommend.

Wonderful tour. Lots of space to sit and not get blasted by the sun. I loved to see all the sunken ships and the guides were helpful and full of knowledge. My teens both loved it. read more

The views were absolutely amazing, the Shipwrecks were incredible! Even with the extreme fog (making it look like Silent Hill) it was the best time ever. Of all the things we did on our vacation, this was absolutely by far my favorite! Thank you for the most amazing tour, for all the information and the great photo opportunities! It wad all absolutely the most incredible experience and I would absolutely 100% recommend this tour to any and everyone! read more

Joe was a great captain. He did an amazing job driving the boat and giving the information about area!!!

This was a wonderful, informative tour! The scenery was great and the team on the boat were fun and enthusiastic. They provided such interesting information and did an incredible job of maneuvering over the wrecks and narrating exactly what we were seeing. I like that they split the passengers up in groups to view the wrecks so it wasn't the whole boat trying to see at once and everyone got a good view. Really just a stellar operation! read more

100% amazing experience! Beautiful views and very informative tour of the shipwrecks! We were split into 2 groups for social distancing and both captain (Katie I believe) and narrator (Heidi) made sure each group received a wonderful experience with each wreck. I would absolutely recommend to everyone!! read more

Awesome tour! We loved it all. Captain was very informative, fascinating to see the 2 shipwrecks and there were beautiful views the entire time. Highly recommend-was one of the favorite things my kids did during our trip to UP this summer. read more

We are usually not touristy-type activity people and prefer hiking and other pursuits while on vacation in the UP, but the opportunity to see submerged wrecks on Lake Superior without needing SCUBA gear seemed like a fun idea. It was indeed! We purchased tickets online, basing our selected date on the weather forecast and the process was simple. The website stated that we needed to arrive 30 minutes prior to our scheduled departure and since we were taking the first boat of the day (10 AM), parking was no problem, but I imagine it could get a little challenging later in the day. Every staff member was friendly and welcoming as we boarded the boat and we were able to choose our seating, making it easy to distance ourselves from other groups comfortably, given that we're still amid life with Covid. Aside from two wrecks, we also enjoyed getting up close and personal with the Grand Island Lighthouse, the gorgeous rock cliffs, and caves, and even saw a bald eagle eyeing the water from its perch high above the water. The captain and his crew were informative, offering both history and interesting information about what we were viewing. The wrecks themselves were interesting, but unfortunately on the day we traveled, the visibility was not optimal. However, it didn't take away from our experience at all. We were fortunate to have perfect weather, so two hours spent on Lake Superior couldn't be anything but spectacular. read more

This was such a fun & relaxing boat trip! You are assigned groups so everyone can see the wrecks through the glass bottom areas. It's amazing how clear it all is. These are not really old wrecks but it's still amazing! Plus it's a great cruise along Grand Isle & seeing Bald Eagles were awesome! You do get to see a historic lighthouse & some caves & Painted Rocks! It's two hours of beautiful scenery & some history! The Captain was great & would highly recommend it! read more

Great all women crew. Lovely boat ride. Interesting Lake Auperior facts. Beautiful limestone cave on Grand Island. Truly a splendid morning. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! An enjoyable 2-hour tour on Lake Superior. We visited 2 underwater shipwrecks, a small lighthouse, and a beautiful shallow sea cave that had sparkling turquoise water and incredible rock formations. The tour guides were super-friendly and knowledgeable, and definitely made the experience top-notch. TICKETS: We bought ours in advance online, which is recommended. However, tickets are also sold onsite in the gift shop/check-in area. GETTING ONBOARD: About 1 flight of outdoor steps down to the waterfront, then a short walk down the dock to hand over tickets. Then they take everyone's picture and try to sell it to you afterward. I usually hate when places do that, but these photos were nice, only $8, and they didn't pressure anyone to buy them. There are maybe 3 steps into the boat to board the main deck. Seating is available on this level, which is nice if you want to stay out of the sun. You can also go above deck, which has wraparound seating (in direct sun.) FOOD & DRINK: You are welcome to bring soft drinks or snacks aboard. We bought some from their gift shop after check-in. Once aboard, water & sodas are available for $2. BATHROOMS: There's a bathroom on the main deck of the boat. There's also bathrooms in the gift shop - and they were very clean. UNDERWATER VIEWING: The "glass bottom" windows are on the main deck. When you reach a shipwreck, everyone gathers around these windows to view what's under the boat. There's also 2 TV screens on the main deck that show what's underwater, which is convenient for anyone who may have mobility issues. GOOD FOR: All ages - but I personally wouldn't recommend children that are very young or have trouble sitting still. read more

A group of us took this tour and it was pretty cool. The weather was bad when we got our tickets but we were told that we shouldn't worry about being out in the weather because there was enough seating for eighty people. There may have been enough seats for eighty but more than half were on top and while covered it was pretty windy and cold. Seating is first come and we were lucky enough to get a seat out of the cold. During this tour you get a chance to see two shipwrecks and a lighthouse. You can also see Pictured Rocks across the bay. There was some "pictured rock" on our side of the bay too but for whatever reason I don't think it is the "official" rock. My husband and I chose this tour in part because we would be able to see the rocks AND the wrecks.....and it was cheaper than the Pictured Rock tour. Our captain Kate knew her stuff and was very good at piloting the boat, however she sounded rather scripted and had a monotone. It would have been more fun if she could have loosened up a little and had fun with it. I realize she must get tired of repeating the same thing over and over again but as someone hearing it for the first time I would prefer a more fun rendition. You are encouraged to bring your own snacks and non alcoholic drinks with you however they do have cans of pop and small snacks available for purchase. My party was glad that we chose this tour over the other one in the area. read more

Beautiful boat ride. Great staff, very friendly, very informative. Would have been nice to see a little more shipwrecks, since there are so many in Lake Superior. Actual time viewing shipwrecks was maybe 15 minutes of the 2 hour ride. read more

I love this tour! It is perfect for a tween who isn't into anything... He was WAY into sunken boats on Lake Superior. Kevin and Captain Kate were wonderful, so knowledgeable about all 3 wrecks. Kate was super funny and we enjoyed her running commentary over the course of our ride. We really appreciate how she maneuvered the boat over each wreck so that people on both wells got a good view. They did a really good job of pointing things out without seeming redundant and boring for the second group. It was rainy on our tour but we were warm and dry in the boat. It was a lovely tour. Thanks Kate and Kevin, and everyone at Shipwreck Tours. (Also, follow them on Instagram at @ShipwreckTours). read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this tour! Im always skeptical of a glass bottom boat tour because sometimes the glass doesnt offer a good view. This was great, and the wrecks were easily visible. The captain did a great job maneuvering over the wrecks so everyone could see. I loved that you can move around the boat as much as you want to take pics or just take in different views. They did a great job telling stories and giving history. Our captain even went over to check on a windsurfer to ensure he wasnt in distress. The crew on this boat clearly had a passion for what they do and we will recommend this tour to our friends. Glad we chose this over the kayak tour and the painted rocks tour because it offered sites we could have seen hiking. read more
