Our captain Cal and our tour guide Connie along with new crew member Tony were fun, full of interesting info and history and wonderfully personable. I’ve been visiting the Door since I was a child but had never really seen the island from the water. What a phenomenal experience. We saw eagles, caves, learned the history of the twin sisters, early town settlers and got to imagine what it must’ve looked like to approach the island way back when. I highly recommend this cruise! Next time we’re going to do the sunset cruise for sure!

We were having our vocation in Door County and we were just in love with Sister bay scenic boat tours. We went with our 2 kids (9 and 6 yo) 3 times with the tour and we did enjoy it so much!!! Very friendly crew. Nice big boat !! You can buy there drinks and snacks during the trip. Very interesting information about Door County!! Spectacular views!! I took a lot of beautiful pictures on boat. All those information helps you to learn more about Door County and gives you more ideas what you can do during your stay here. My kids were very happy when Capitan Cal ask them to help him driving the boat. Super cool!! I definitely advice to go with them to see peninsular from the water!!!!

I’ve been wanting to check out the scenic boat cruise for years, and I’m so glad we finally did! Was my favorite activity we did during our visit. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the views were very beautiful. I would definitely do this again!

The sunset cruise was a fantastic way for our family to end our Door County vacation. The live music was entertaining, and the crew was so knowledgeable of the area and great to interact with. Highly recommend!

My 3rd summer sunset cruise and each time was wonderful! Something I look forward to every time I’m in Door County. This year we brought our own picnic onboard

We rented a Pontoon boat for a 3 hours. It was AMAZING!! We took it all along the Green Bay shoreline by Peninsula State Park. Beautiful sea birds & Pelicans to watch. The staff was friendly, informative and fun! We also went on the sunset cruise for “our shared” birthday and it was awesome! The music was great and the Vocalist even had the boat sing Happy Birthday to us. Friendly staff and very professional! Highly recommend this company!!

Great way to experience the beautiful views of the Door County Coast! We went on the sunset tour and we had lots of fun, including friendly staff and a band who played very well! Prices were competitive with other activities in the area. We would go on these tours again!

What a fantastic experience! My wife and I are in Door County for our anniversary. We had our wedding reception on a boat and love getting on the water. This was a great way to get on the lake! We did the trip to Death’s Door (2 hours). The staff was super friendly. We chatted with the captain and others. It’s really apparent when someone loves their job. They narrated the tour and kept us entertained. The lake was calm and didn’t rock the boat. Really fun way to see Door County!

We took the tour up to Death’s Door and enjoyed it immensely. Connie was the very best tour guide highlighting the beautiful features of the Door County coast. This is a must-do if you are visiting Sister Bay.

Excellent boat, crew, history of the Door county towns. Fun and enjoyable experience. I would do again another tour next time I'm here. Kids loved it too, captain let them at the helm

What a great choice for ending a splendid day at Sister Bay, WI. Everything about this tour was top notch. Booking was easy at the Kiosk by the bay and the attendant was friendly and informative.The boat is a quiet and stable platform for photography, and overall comfort. Snacks and drinks are reasonably priced, and you can take aboard your own bottle of wine, which many of our fellow passengers did. The ride was comfortable and informative. Our Captain and crew were experienced and gave us many opportunities to view and photograph the shoreline.The timing of our voyage was synced perfectly for us to enjoy the sunset before returning to port. The music was incredible and performed by a local duo.We will always remember this experience as one that we were so glad to take advantage of.

A beautiful sunset cruise on a summer evening in Sister Bay, WI. The crew of three was professional, friendly, and welcoming. Our boat was clean and comfortable, the young female musician played perfectly paced music and the rest of the trip depended on Mother Nature, who did not disappoint in any way. All kinds of beverages were readily available for purchase at the small bar, and it was easy to walk around to enjoy the gorgeous views from every section of the boat. Definitely recommend taking this trip.

Wonderful way to see a different view of beautiful Door County. The Live Music Sunset Cruise is always a nice time. Friendly staff on board! I’ve done this a few times over the years and have always left with good memories.

My husband and I went on the sunset cruise July 19, 2022. It was absolutely worth it. Beautiful scenes, great sunset, best crew ever, and can’t beat the live music. The crew is very attentive and knowledgeable of the area and some of its history. Light snacks and non alcoholic beverages are sold on the boat but you are welcome to bring a cooler with choice of snacks and beverages. It really was a lot of fun. We did get lucky with a double rainbow too!

Great boat tour. About 2.5 hours for $40 a person. The boat tour had a very talented person playing live guitar/singing. There was also drinks that could be purchased on board at a reasonable price. The captain made sure to position the boat for the best view of the sunset. Highly recommend and would do again. We got lucky that the sunset was a nice one, but even without I'd still recommend going on this tour.

Had a great time on board! We were on the sunset music cruise and enjoyed the combination of information and music. Mix drinks were good and reasonable considering the circumstances. Dog friendly!

Nice tour but a bit pricey. Top side is best but bar is on lower deck. We try to go every year. A must for 1st time visitors. We recomend.

We had a great adventure on the boat! My husband& I brought our boys (3+6yrs) on the scenic trip to Penn. Lighthouse. They had snacks available & we could bring along anything we needed too. The lower half had plastic wrapped windows to see out and kept us warm. The upper deck has wonderful views .. our 3yo fell asleep on the way back :)

What a great way to see some sights of Door County! Out on the lake, wind in your hair, learn some history, well worth it!

We had a really good time on the Scenic Boat Tour. It actually was the highlight of our trip to Door County! The live music, the captain and the crew were all great, especially Olivia. Such a nice person! One thing that I would suggest, would be to hand out a little map showing the exact route that we took through the bay with all the beautiful landmarks notated that we cruised by.

We had such a wonderful time on the Sunset Live Music Cruise! The staff was great, the music was fantastic, the views were beautiful, and the bar was a definite plus!! My husband and I both said we would do this again in a heartbeat - we definitely recommend!!!

If there was only the scenery and the story, it would have be worth the trip. BUT this included so much more. The ticket agents were kind and clear when describing the tour options. The dock helpers were kind and observant of my wife's mobility limits and were willing to help. The boat staff INCLUDING /ESPECIALLY the Captain... He helped to make the voyage a tour my wife and I will never forget.They may be done for the season, but we are telling people to be sure to include it during their trip to door county. It is something my wife and I would do again.

The Peninsula Park Cave Tour was great! Connie, our guide, was a 5th generation local and her knowledge was impressive. The views were spectacular and gave me a new perspective of a place I’ve visited many times. I definitely recommend this tour, especially to history nerds like me.

A great cruise. We really enjoyed our time on the boat. The staff were all really nice. The musical entertainment was great. Our children got to drive the boat and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun experience in the water, the views were simply amazing.

Absolutely loved this boat tour! We did the tour out to Eagle Bluff Lighthouse/Horseshoe Island and then back to Sister Bay. About 1.25 hours total. We were able to bring a stroller on the boat for our 10 month old, which was very helpful. Both kids ended up napping for most of the trip (best $5 nap my husband and I paid for). We sat in the lower deck, which is mostly enclosed in the front. The tour was very informative. We went into the different bays along the shores and got to see the towns from the water. The guide gave us a lot of history, and we loved learning about the area! The crew were also so friendly and helpful. On our way back from Eagle Bluff area, they let every single child take a turn at driving the boat. We thought that was pretty neat! Very family friendly. There were drinks available for purchase, and bathrooms also available for use. Definitely recommend!

This cruise was a wonderful experience. My girlfriend and I went out on the death's door tour and chuck did a great narration. The crew was very kind and made it a memorable and enjoyable experience. If you want to learn more about the history of Door County and see some views from the water, I highly recommend going. Definitely going to come back again!

Despite the slight haze in the sky from the recent Canadian forest fires, our 2 hour cruise was a very good experience and quite enjoyable. The Sister Bay Scenic Boat Tour provides unique views and a different perspective of the various harbors and bays and the peninsula coastline. The crew did a safe and efficient job of loading and offloading the passengers while our tour guide/narrator/storyteller was quite informative and told some interesting stories about the peninsula’s history. On the day of our tour, the weather was perfect with mostly sunny skies, little breeze, and the waters of Green Bay were smooth as silk. Unfortunately, the speaker sound system was not quite loud enough to overcome the sound of the boat motor while cruising the coastline so that some of the information (and corny jokes) went unheard. Overall, our cruise with Sister Bay Scenic Boat Tours was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.

This was our first time on the Sister Bay Scenic Boat Tours and the first time my children (8,5, &1) were ever on a boat. I wasn't sure how an hour and 15 minutes was going to go with little ones but we tried it anyways and it was a great experience! The children loved it! (Well the 1 year old slept through it.) The highlight for the older two was when the first mate came and asked if they would like to drive the boat. They were able to sit in the captain's chair and steer! They loved it! My husband and I enjoyed the scenic view and the narration that went along with it. I think the man's name was Chuck that led the tour and he was very interesting and did very well with the kids. (My 5 year old had lots to tell him!) I would definitely take the trip again (with my kids) and would like to take one of the longer trips sometime as well!
