About Apostle Islands Cruises

The best way to experience Wisconsin’s “Crown Jewels,” the 21-island archipelago of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, is from the water with Apostle Islands Cruises in Bayfield. Visitors can explore this unique destination through a variety of options, including daily sightseeing cruises, lighthouse tours, hiking and camping shuttles.

One of the most popular experiences is the Grand Tour, a 55-mile cruise that travels past the Raspberry and Devils Island lighthouses and the famous sea caves of Devils Island. In the fall, the evening Grand Tour offers a beautiful way to enjoy the changing colors as the landscape is illuminated by the setting sun.

Reservations are recommended, especially during peak travel times. With scenic views, fascinating history and opportunities to explore the islands, Apostle Islands Cruises offers a memorable way to experience one of Wisconsin’s most unique destinations.
