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

We went on the Pictured Rocks Shipwreck tour during labor day weekend in 2007. This tour leaves out of the Munising city dock just west of downtown. The Pictured Rocks Cruise tour leaves out of the other city dock, which is located downtown. We went on both tours and although we enjoyed the Pictured Rocks Cruise tour a little bit... more

We went on the Pictured Rocks Cruise during labor day weekend of 2007. We spent about a week in the UP and the cruise was the highlight of the trip. The only way you can truly appreciate the Pictured Rocks is by boat. The park itself only has one paved road to a vantage point (Miners Castle). The rest of... more

This cruise is absolutely magnificent! The water has so many pretty colors throughout. The various points of interest are absolutely amazing. There are many, many points of interest (rock formations, caves, and colors) and you can't see most of them unless you go on this cruise. Dress warmly. It gets cold if you sit on top. Not bad if you... more

I enjoyed the Pictured Rocks Boat Cruise. It was very cold out there on the water. Lake Superior had beautiful colors. Some of the explanations of the rock formations were a bit silly, but it was a beautiful cruise on the water and seeing all the kayakers and seagulls. Very cold, so make sure that you dress warmly. more
