Scenic Day Private Tour:
Relax and explore Voyageurs National Park (Rainy Lake) while spotting bald eagles, moose, beavers and other shoreline wildlife, historic gold mines, Kettle Falls, Anderson Bay, and remote islands only accessible by boat.

Hike and Boat Tour Combo:
Tours may also include optional guided park hiking on Voyageurs National Park islands or along remote shoreline areas. Hikes (Anderson Bay Loop Trail, Cruiser Lake Trail, Black Bay Beaver Pond Trail) can range from very short (easy), to lengthy (challenging) depending on group preference.

Sunset Tours:
Enjoy a full Scenic boat tour in Voyageurs National Park that transitions into a sunset experience as the evening unfolds. Indulge in the quiet, calm and most photogenic time of the day in Voyageurs National Park with a guided sunset boat tour on Rainy Lake. These relaxed evening cruises focus on scenic island views, glass water reflections, and dramatic skies as the sun sets over the park. These tours offer relaxed pace and are ideal for couples, photographers and guests looking to experience both the landscape and the evening atmosphere of the Park.

Stargazing Night Boat Tours:
Experience Voyageurs National Park after dark with a guided stargazing boat tour on Rainy Lake. As an International Dark Sky Park, Voyageurs National Park is known for exceptionally low light pollution, making it one of the best places in the United Staters to view the night sky. These tours take place away from shoreline light and into distant open water, offering wide, unobstructed views of the sky. Depending on conditions, guests may see dense star fields, recognizable constellations, the Milky Way, and on nights with strong solar activity, the Northern Lights (aurora borealis). Tours are led by guides trained in constellation identification, with experience teaching astronomy. Using high-power laser pointers, guides actively point out constellations and celestial features, and guests are welcome to participate under guidance. Stargazing tours offer an immersive way to experience Voyageurs National Park from the water 30 minuters after sunset.
Note: Night tours have an additional $150 fee due to specialized equipment and advance navigation to safely navigate after dark to provide a premium experience.
