Such an awesome time kayaking with our family of 5! Sofie was our guide and she was amazing. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We got to go in the cave, which was a great experience! A must visit when in Door County!

We didn't plan on doing this, but when we saw so many people out on the water, it seemed like it might be fun. I didn't think there would be a chance of getting in on the same day, but they made it happen and we were on the water that afternoon. I was concerned initially about my youngest daughter being in an open kayak, but after speaking to the guides and looking at some of the pictures online, I wasn't worried at all. The weather was great and we all had a fabulous time. My two older daughters were in a two-person kayak, as was my wife and youngest, and I was in a single. They were super-easy to navigate and we were able to go into a cave and got to see the area from a really different perspective. We completely lucked out on the weather - we went back to Cave Point state park today, and there were no kayakers due to the huge waves. Compared to some of the other places in the area, their prices were a bit better and the staff was extremely professional. Next time we're in Door County, we'll definitely be going back!

A fun mini adventure in Door County! The Cave Point kayak tour gives you an amazing up-close view of this natural beauty that you can't see from land or even a boat. The guides were fantastic and being able to go inside a small cave was a cool bonus! Definitely worth it.

We came to Door County in off-season and this company was very accommodating. They opened just for us to rent some e- bikes so we could go to visit the white fish dunes park. They were friendly and helpful.

We tried out ebikes since we were considering a private purchase. On a very busy day, the owner took the time to talk to us about pros and cons of ebikes. Thank you!

Hunter and Hannah were awesome! We walked in an were able to make a tour within an hour. Everyone was super friendly and professional. The tour itself was beautiful with a great price point. At first we had a bit of trouble since it was our first time but after some practice we had an awesome experience.

We started our day off right with a 9am half day (4 hour) tour with DCKT. We had heard great things over the years from a former guide, Ellen. The check-in process was quick and easy with QR codes available to scan for the waivers and safety video. All guides were wearing masks! Our group had 5 people and our tour had a total of 10. Most of the kayaks were tandem, but those of us who had parties with an odd number of people were able to utilize the single kayaks, as well. We had the option to take the bus to the water or drive our own vehicle if we were more comfortable with that. We handed out paddles and did a quick ice breaker with our guide, Evan, and got started with our tour. Our whole group was adults and everyone was very friendly. The experience level varied amongst the group, and Evan did a great job of making sure we took stops to regroup where he would share some fun facts and dad jokes to the group. He also did a great job of kindly directing everyone and giving some tips to those who were beginners. About halfway through, we were able to take a look into a cave, which was really cool. After exiting the cave, we had the opportunity to be photographed. You could also take your own photos throughout and cell phone carriers to keep your phone dry were available for $10 while checking in. A couple hours in we had the opportunity to get out of the kayaks and take a very short walk (pretty much any waterproof shoes would've been fine to wear) to an area where we were given a quick snack with some Door County specialties including cherry juice, cherry/goat cheese spread, and summer sausage. There was also a Clif Bar and all of the snacks were individually packed for each person. After eating we had the opportunity to jump off the rocks into the water at Cave Point if we wanted to. It was a really fun experience and some other family members who did not kayak were able to meet us out there to take pictures of the jumps. After that, we headed back and wrapped up the tour. Evan was a great tour guide! Awesome conversationalist and did really well in making sure he was attentive to everyone in our large group of 10. We would definitely recommend Door County Kayak Tours and Evan as a guide!

We wanted to enjoy a half day on the water checking out door county's beautiful shores along Lake Michigan with a couple of our teenage boys. We started the day at Door County Kayak Tours home base to take the "cave point whitefish dunes half day kayak tour". The check in process was smooth and all gear needed was included as mentioned and was good quality equipment. Just show up got fitted and from there we met out tour guides which were a couple college kids. We did a safety video, a little instruction and off to the vans to get to the water. There were about 18 people in our group and some younger kids (take a look at my tip) which was not as bad as it seems once we got to the water and paddling along. We got to the water at the launch site, got our paddles and paired up to get in the kayaks. It was fairly organized and within 10 minutes on our way. The lake was beautiful and as we paddled along the guides pointed out highlight features and made the journey fum. We went into cave point and enjoyed getting to go into the caves were but they are fairly small and had to go in one at a time for a minute or two and then reverse back out. We then paddled a bit further south to start our hike were we left our kayaks tied up along some rocks. The hike was nice to take a break from paddling at this point but the hike was too long and at times a bit boring. The highlight was going to devils bathtub and took a few jumps from the cliffs above into Lake Michigan... it's a must and Was refreshing with some thrill mixed in. I also enjoyed getting a few nice pictures but our boys got a little board at times. We had some snacks which was nice- consisting of cheese, crackers and meat (we are vegetarian so that was a bummer) and some water while at some picnic tables near devils bathtub. Nice to have the break but it was not anything to grand just as a heads up. We continued on the hike south toward whitefish bay dunes and that was lame since it was through a forest. I guess I was expecting more for this portion and would rather be paddling. When we got to the dunes that was a bit uneventful as well since water levels are so high on the Great Lakes right now. Still nice to jump in the water. The hike was to long in general and would probably say not worth it. You can do this on your own time instead of paying for it. From there we hiked back north past everything we already saw so that was a grInd as we were not think we would hike that long and had aqua socks or sandals since we thought we were going to get more wet. Then the northbound return paddle was more difficult as the current was pushing south. We thought part of the trip consisted of checking out one of ship wreck but that never happened since the water was too cloudy? I was a bit unhappy on that note since we could see the bottom as the lake was calm and him clear. Otherwise it was the same cliffs and formations on the way back with the added scream of little kids at times. A long day overall but don't take the negative points the wrong way. We still enjoyed the day. How often to you paddle along amazing cliffs in beautiful waters? I would recommend going with Door County Kayak Tours - the experience was fun and something different for sure. Tip: Be aware this is physical and little kids were a tired and crabby in the group by the end. On the hike a pair of shoes would be better than sandals or water shoes. I need up going barefoot since the sand and mud were grinding my feet (fun) Our boys enjoyed the younger tour guides ... (was worried my 16 yr old son was trying to get phone numbers :) honestly but the guides did make it fun for them as well)

The Kayaking itself was nice, the tour well prepared and the tour guide did a good job and he told as a lot of interesting informations about the emergence of the area, but the scenery didn´t convince me as much as i thought, still the tour was good, it´s just not what i expected.

The calendar might say Sept. but summer is not over. This is the perfect time for this type of activity . I think any of the tours would be fun. We took the trip to see the shipwreck which with water being crystal clear it was easy to see. Our guide was Andy and he was able to work with our schedule and was quick to share history and folk lore in the area . The birds were fishing and showing off so we got to see a bald eagle, golden eagle , white pelican and may different types of sea gulls it was really exciting to watch . I think getting on the water and experience what the Great Lakes area has to offer is really what coming to the Door is about. On the corner of Garrett Rd and Hwy. 42 is a Hard Cider winery which is the perfect way to end the outing. They have Cheese platers ,Cider flights and great outdoor seating . Thanks Andy for a perfect day! Why 4 star and not 5 you ask we could of gotten on the water a little quicker.

Fantastic! Andy, our guide, was fun and engaging. 3 of the 6 people in our group were beginners and it wasn't terribly challenging. I'm so happy we did it!

okay. first off, if you are going on the tour, make sure to get steph. she was very nice and also very informational and helped out. the tour was very cool, we got to go inside a water shaped cave, and also go to cave point and jumped off a pretty tall ledge. in my opinion, that was the highlight of the trip, i jumped 3 times! there was also squirt guns that were optional to take, (free) and we could squirt each other, as well as the other tour guides when they would come by. it would turn into a squirt gun war zone! if i come back to door county, i'll make sure to come back here. of course i would recommend it to a friend, one of the best tours i have been on in while! (ps steph deserves that raise!)
