Floating the St. Croix River with this crew is a well-loved experience, and it shows. Captains like Joel and Derrick get called out by name in reviews, which says a lot about the kind of personal, attentive service you can expect. Staff shuttle you from Interstate Park and pick you up at the Osceola landing, making the whole logistics side of things genuinely easy. The river itself moves slowly, making it accessible for families, beginners, and larger groups alike. One regular tip from reviewers: bring your own canoe seat for extra comfort. The cancellation policy is flexible and no-hassle, which is a nice bonus when Minnesota weather has other plans.
We had two families, a total of four adults and three kids, for Father’s Day. We had a long drive from Excelsior over to the river, but when we arrived, they had everything under control and ready to rock ‘n’ roll. Everything was incredibly smooth, the kayak dudes (as I will now always call them) were super knowledgeable and kind, and the fact that they provide everything is fantastic. Totally worth the price (which is one of the best in the area). We will definitely be doing this again sometime.
