Join us on a fantastic tour that perfectly captures the essence of Door County! Immerse yourself in the fascinating human history and stunning scenery, both natural and man-made.

Your journey starts with a leisurely cruise along the north shore of Sister Bay, where you’ll witness some of the best man-made beauty this county has to offer. As we approach the towering bluffs of Ellison Bay Bluff Park, keep an eye out for Wisconsin’s largest private home along the bayside bluffs, and the County Park’s famous lookout!

As you continue north towards Door Bluff Headland Park and into Gills Rock, we’ll share captivating stories of Northern Door County’s rich commercial fishing heritage, tales of the Lake’s historical shipwrecks, and even the fascinating story of a historic Death’s Door battle.
