ATTENTION 2025 SEASON

Good day everyone, my name is Captain Dave, new owner of Lake Superior boat Tours. I would like to explain the reason why we are not offering boat tours this summer.
My first official captains' job was working for Paddling Michigan giving narrated tours around the great Grand Island National Recreation area. After thousands of  tours around the island I was given an opportunity to work in Alaska!
So, in the spring of 2023 flew to Valdez, Ak. to work for Pangaea Adventures hauling kayaks and passengers to the face of the Columbia Glacier via a water taxi, all I can say is, WOW.
Now during the second season while working in Alaska, I purchased Lake Superior Boat Tours which was finalized in October of 2025.
So, at this point all intentions where to get back into offering specialized private tours of the majestic cliffs, waterfalls, beaches of the beautiful hidden gem, Grand Island National Recreation Area, when in the dead of winter, I received a phone call from Lake Powell resort and marinas located in the Glen Canyon National Recreation area on Lake Powell and the Colorado river wondering if I would be interested in operating boat tours of the Glen Canyon Dam, Navajo Canyon and upstream to Rainbow Bridge national Monument.
Well..., here I am, so I apologize for the inconvenience of this season's unavailable tours and wish all that will be vacationing in greater Munising area a special and safe time and to all the future and adventurist's, we will be back up and running next season.
