Quick Details
Apostle Islands Kayak Tour
The caves North of Red Cliff are in the Chequamegon layer and the mesmerizing red sandstone that towers so majestically along their shoreline are the feature for which the red cliff band of Ojibwe received their namesake. There are several caves that you can get kayaks into and there are some very well preserved shipwrecks in shallow water along the way. The shipwreck Fedora is in such shallow water you can reach out and touch it from your kayak. This paddle also has some very tall sandstone cliffs and one beautiful sea arch that is as intricate and massive as any sea arch in the Apostle Islands.
The Red cliff caves tour stays close to shore and allows us to offer single kayaks and tandem kayaks, it’s your choice. These cliffs are just as tall as Meyers Beach and the caves are nearly as good, but we hardly ever see anyone else at these caves. We traverse every nook and cranny and give you all the time you want to explore the caves, take photos, and bask in the brilliance of their beauty.
