We waffled on doing this because we were in Munising October 5th/6th and the weather was not too great. But it wasn't raining when we got up on the 6th and so we did the 10am tour. Water was calm and it only rained on the way back. There is a covered seating area (huge) and then benches upstairs in... more

We enjoyed this cruise very much. Only from the water can one see the beautiful rock formations. Arrive early to get a seat on the upper level of the boat. more

We visited in June and the weather was quite cold; however, the ride was wonderful. Sitting up at the top is great but was too cold. The views are remarkable and the cruise owners very friendly. more

Great fun!

We did the 5:00 cruise and had a good time. They allow you to bring food and nonalcoholic drinks on the cruise. The commentary given by the captain is interesting and the evening we went also featured a Park Ranger giving a talk. You have lots of opportunities for pictures. WEll worth the money and about the only way to... more

I've was born and raised in Michigan and had been up to Munising before and had only seen the Pictured Rocks up to Miners Castle each time before. If that all you see, it's like seeing the sign for the Grand Canyon NP but not seeing the canyon itself. The formations are spectacular and the colors are if God himself... more

I took this boat ride 20 years ago and again in early June. Both times were very enjoyable, despite the weather being at opposites ends of the spectrum! The captain and co-captain were both friendly and gave good commentary. Informative, but not overly so. The trip lasts about 2.5-3 hours, depending on weather and which cruise you choose. Enclosed seating... more

The pictured rocks cruise is a great way to see the beautiful rock formations and waterfalls of the pictured rocks national lakeshore. We went in late May and the cruise was not too full. It lasts about three hours and you certainly get your money's worth. The guide is knowledgeable, slows down so you can take pictures and it is... more

This is a must-see cruise if you are visiting the Pictures Rocks Lakeshore. As others have noted, it is not really possible to get a view of the colored rocks unless you are out on the water. Other than having your own boat, kayak or other craft, this is, as far as I can tell, your only option. It is... more

What a great cruise! Reasonably priced for the 2 hour, 45 minute cruise. The narrator is knowledgeable and the captain gets the passengers right up close. Friendly crew on the boat and in the shop. The company also has its own parking lot, which is a bonus as parking is limited in Munising. Bring or buy popcorn to feed the... more

My wife and I took the Pictured Rocks Cruise in September of 2007 during a road trip we took of the UP. We made reservations just the day before by calling directly. We paid $31/person. We went on the 10 AM tour, they also offer tours at 1:15 and 4:30 PM. Since we were traveling with our dog, we were... more
