The Apostle Islands are twenty-two islands off of the Bayfield Peninsula in northern Wisconsin. Twenty-one of the islands and twelve miles of lakeshore make up the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
The area is known for beautiful sea caves, historic lighthouses, island camping and exploration, bird watching, searching for shipwrecks, beach combing, pristine natural beauty, deep rooted Native history, amazing fishing and so much more!
Many of the sites within the National Lakeshore are only accessible by private boat or with a National Park Service approved vendor. Pre-planning your visit is highly recommended.
Whether you have a few hours to explore or a week to camp on an island we can help you plan your visit.
Details on our most popular tours can be found on the Choose Your Adventure page or we are happy to customize an outing to suit your needs.

There are over 50 miles of hiking trails on the Apostle Islands, and remote campsites on 18 of the 21 islands. None of these are accessible by car! Water taxi service is the transportation solution to get you there. But water taxi's aren't just for hiking and camping! Spend a day on an island picnicking with your family, have a beach day with the kids or disconnect from the daily chaos of life on a remote island, reconnecting with nature and finding your inner peace.
If planning to hike or camp in the islands, please plan accordingly. Cell phone service is very limited. The Apostle Islands encompass over 700 square miles of Lake Superior. It is vast, remote, and weather conditions can change quickly. Use the links below for maps and island details. Be sure to read your campsite description carefully. Some sites require a hike of up to 6 miles from the dock.
Campsite reservations are REQUIRED and can be made via the link below within 30 days of your anticipated stay.
We are family friendly and welcome all skill levels for fishing.
