    Visitors consistently praise the exceptional boat tours led by knowledgeable captains like Tim, Donn, and Merritt, who bring Voyageurs National Park to life through their deep understanding of local history and passion for the area. These aren't just scenic rides—guides take guests to hidden spots only accessible by water, often incorporating island stops for hiking and stretching legs. The flexibility really stands out, with the team accommodating last-minute requests and going above and beyond with dining recommendations and follow-up check-ins. Tours range from two-hour excursions to full-day adventures that include lunch at Kettle Falls Hotel, and families with kids as well as couples find them equally engaging. The boats themselves are comfortable and well-maintained, handling everything from sunny days to rainy fall weather. Beyond guided tours, they also provide equipment rentals with delivery service for those wanting to explore independently. The personal touch really shines through—many guests mention feeling like they made friends rather than just hiring a guide.

    We had a wonderful time!! We did a 6 hour tour with Captain Tim, he was amazing! We loved all of the history facts and learning about life in the area. We were able to see and do everything we wanted lunch at kettle falls, seeing wildlife and even a very brief and chilly swim! We highly recommend Voyageurs Outfitters and especially Captain Tim!
