Half Day (4 Hours) & Full Day (8 Hours)
Paddleboard, paddle, lifejacket
Rent an inflatable Paddle North stand up paddleboard for a half day or full day on the St. Louis River or your favorite inland lake. Pick up your board at Traverse Duluth and head out with the gear you need.
Waivers must be signed by everyone using the equipment; a parent or legal guardian must sign for minors. Only signed participants may use the equipment. Alcoholic beverages, drugs, weapons, and pets (except service animals) are not allowed on the equipment.
If canceled up to 24 hours prior to your scheduled tour, an exchange of date or time may be permitted. If a reschedule is not possible, a gift card refund can be issued. If you cancel within 24 hours from the tour time no exchange, cash or credit refunds will be given.
Pick up your board based on your reservation time. Half-day rentals run 9am–1pm or 1pm–5pm. Full-day rentals can be picked up as early as 9:00am and must be returned by 5pm.
Your rental begins at the start time of your reservation, not when you actually begin paddling.
Wear clothing you don’t mind getting wet. Dress for the water temperature (not the air temperature) and avoid baggy items. Suggested gear includes a swimsuit, rash guard or sun-protective shirt, water-compatible shoes, sun hat or sunglasses, sunscreen, a spare set of clothes, and extra layers for wind.

Duluth harbor tours consistently earn high marks for knowledgeable narration and friendly crews. Guides like Bill and Phil are frequently called out by name for their depth of local history, humor, and willingness to answer questions. Spotting massive freighters up close, including legendary vessels like the Arthur M. Anderson, adds a layer of excitement that keeps visitors coming back decade after decade. Food and drinks are available onboard and generally well-received, though specialty event cruises like the evening dinner show have occasionally fallen short on portions and service. Bar service during busy periods can feel slow, and the indoor seating shows some wear, something to keep in mind if you end up inside due to weather. Booking confirmation is worth double-checking, as at least one reviewer noted a last-minute cancellation due to low numbers. On a pleasant day with a solid guide at the helm, this is genuinely one of the more memorable ways to experience Duluth. The tours run on time, the scenery delivers, and the narration turns a simple boat ride into something you will actually talk about later.
Bill was an excellent and extremely knowledgeable guide for the tour! If you've got questions, he's got answers.
