Getting Around
Although Apostle Islands National Lakeshore features several points of interest located on the mainland, most people consider the islands themselves to be the most rewarding destination.

The Apostle Islands Cruise Service, a park concessioner, provides scheduled public transportation services from late May to mid-October.   Boat trips leave from the city dock on the Bayfield waterfront.   The Cruise Service offers a variety of non-stop sightseeing trips and several camper and hiker shuttles to select islands.  The boat trips provide views of most of the islands, as well as close looks at dramatic sandstone cliffs and historic lighthouses. The Cruise Service also operates a water taxi service between Bayfield and any island for up to six passengers per trip.  Follow the link above for additional details on tour boats and water taxi service.

Area marinas offer rental sailboats and will arrange full- and half-day guided fishing trips.  Local outfitters also rent sea kayaks and provide training and guided services for groups and individuals.   Information on park tours, trips and expeditions is available:
