Waves at the Caves
To safely explore sea caves, it’s essential to seek out locations with waves measuring 1 foot or less. Fortunately, the sea caves on the East side of the Bayfield Peninsula, in Chequamegon Bay and Red Cliff, offer exceptional protection, typically those locations have calm waters with waves seldom exceeding a foot.
The West side of the Apostle Islands boast some of the largest sea caves in the region. Yet, these sites come with a heightened level of risk. Waves exceeding 1 foot are a common occurrence, making paddling here a potentially perilous endeavor. With cancellations happening approximately 50% of the time, it’s crucial to exercise caution when planning an excursion to areas in the Western portion of the Aposte Islands region i.e. (Roman’s Point, Meyers Beach, Sand Island, Devil’s Island.)

Our easy tours cater to families with kids and people who are looking for a relaxing paddle without crowds. Apostle Islands kayak tours can be dangerous but these tours only paddle when conditions are not challenging.
Our guided tours take place at secluded sea cave destinations, where we are likely to be the only group there.
We allow you plenty of time inside each cave to sit and enjoy the ambiance and take as many photos as you like. Our goal is to get you off the beaten path and away from the crowds.
We do not do tours to Meyers Beach because it is too crowded. We Suggest taking rentals to Meyers Beach because then you won’t have to wait in line for the caves.
