The only thing that was annoying was the fact that people do not obey the "don't go on the other side of the fence" rule. People were walking on the rocks in front of the falls, ruining a lot of good photo opportunities. Not to mention small children, including infants, being taken on the slippery rocks and fast moving water. It was quite concerning to see such foolish people. If something were to happen, they should be arrested for putting children in such a terrible situation.

I'm a bit unsure how this has such good reviews…read more My family of 5 bought tickets for this a few weeks in advance. We thought it would be a great experience, given the great reviews on Yelp and Google. I was a bit hesitant being on a train and boat ride for 6 hours out of my day on the last day of our trip, but I learned to suck it up. All I wanted to do was see the falls. If you want to hike and see the upper and lower falls, this tour is not for you. If you have an issue walking down steep steps, this tour is not for you. If you have trouble sitting for long periods of time, this tour is not for you. If you like looking at trees and more trees and some water, this for you. 45 minute train ride through trees. 2 hour boat ride. 20 minute walk to falls. You only get about 20 minutes at the falls then turn around and do it all again. If you want to spend more time at the falls, I recommend driving to the state park and making a day of it. The scenery on the train and boat was beautiful. However, spending 6 hours on the boat and train was a bit too much for my family and I. I can't imagine how it would be for a family with your children. I'd recommend bringing your own food and drinks, even some card games to keep everyone entertained. They do sell some burgers, sandwiches, and nachos on hand if you do get hungry on the journey. This is a family run business and I can tell they take good pride in their work, which I appreciate. It just wasn't for us.

On our road trip around the Great Lakes from Philly, we made a stop at this incredible spot -- and…read moredon't ask me to pronounce the name! Located inside Palms Book State Park, this natural spring was one of the most unique and beautiful places we visited. The water is crystal clear all the way to the bottom, and you can easily see fish swimming below. You hop onto a self-operated raft that you pull across the water to the middle of the spring, where there's an opening in the center to look straight down. It gives you a perfect view of the vibrant underwater world -- it's honestly mesmerizing. It's a quick stop, but totally worth it. And the best part? It's dog-friendly! Definitely add this to your list if you're exploring the Upper Peninsula.

This is such a unique place. I'm so glad we stopped. We were on a road trip from Mackinaw City to…read moreMilwaukee and wanted to break up the trip a bit so we saw this diversion and decided to check it out. Clear blue water, bubbling sand, never ending springs, a tow boat, and lots of trout are the wonders to see. Everyone gets on the boat and someone (well a few people over the course of the trip) step up to the wheel to tow the boat across the water. The water is mesmerizing. I couldn't take my eyes off the water. Many people can fit on the boat so the wait is not too long. A day pass is $11. Definitely make this stop if you are in the area.

Weather forecast was threatening the days leading up to our visit so I contacted Captain Mark and he called me right back and came up with a plan. But, not to worry, the storms shifted and we were able to take our tour. The boat is in great condition and the pricing is great! It was just my husband and two children and myself on a 30 ft pontoon. We could have stayed all day we enjoyed it so much. Captain Bill knew right where to take us for the best viewing and photos. We even went over to Grand Island and really enjoyed that too. I highly reccomend Lake Superior Boat Tours. Don't hesitate, just book it! You won't regret it.

I was given three different prices from a pamphlet we got from the resort office, their website, and what rates I was given by Tony over the phone. $175 for a three hour rental is ridiculous!!! I was then given attitude over the phone and told to check their website which I pulled up while on the phone. When I told Tony the rates on the website were different from what she was telling me she told me they don't advertise their half-day rental. What a joke! To put the icing on this over priced cake when she asked me if I wanted to buy the insurance I asked what it covered. She told me if the machine was damaged I could still pay up to $700 worth of repairs. That's what your $35 insurance buys the chance to still pay money if someone crashes into while on the trail. Bring your own helmet cause those too are over priced at $25 a pop. In short, look elsewhere and save your money. We came to the UP to enjoy the freshwater and these guys are too salty on their ATV/UTV prices!
