Ships have surrendered to Lake Superior for years; you'll be exploring old wooden schooners that sank in the 1800's, barges that twisted up in storms in the 1900's, tugboats that tried to help and became victims themselves-each shipwreck has a story to tell. Lake Superior's clear water preserves the wrecks as if they sank yesterday. Don't miss this opportunity to touch history.

Sea Caves are a unique phenomenon to Lake Superior. The lake has carved several caves, valleys, crevices and cracks in the soft sandstone of the islands creating beautiful formations. |

The logging and mining industries left behind many of their remains as they tried to conquer Lake Superior.
The Noque Bay was loaded with lumber when it burnt and sank off Stockton Island oct 5th 1905. |

Our water taxi services will speed you quickly to your destination, visiting the many islands.
Take a hike through the wilderness, visit the abandoned mining areas or picnic next to one of the Apostle Island lighthouses.
We are also offering guided walking trips this year. Some of the sites are brownstone quarries on Basswood, Hermit and Stockton Island and the lighthouses on Raspberry, Outer, Michigan, Devils and Sand Island. |

dives are shallow so we split the 2nd tank to get 3 total dives and we'll stop on an Island for a short break.
