Description

With the unique vantage point of your kayak, you’ll be able to experience the beauty of the limestone caves and and observe the karst landscape on crystal clear Lake Michigan. These dolostone rock formations are what is known as the Niagara Escarpment, and Door County's band of rock goes from Wisconsin around the north end of Lake Michigan on the southern coast of Huron culminating at Niagara Falls. We venture into a couple of the accessible caves, and spend some time relaxing with our feet in the water, enjoying the natural beauty and soaking up the sun before kayaking back to the launch point. What to expect The water is generally calmest in the morning, so it is best to book earlier in the day. The kayak seating area does tend to get a little wet so dress accordingly. Flip flops and water shoes are highly recommended, but you can also jump in barefoot! We also highly recommend shorts or leggings made of materials other than cotton (synthetic fabrics) for wicking moisture away from your body, as you will get wet. On calm days there is ample opportunity to view the submerged caves all along the coast. The conditions are always subject to change, but as long as you arrive with a smile the trip will only brighten your day. Itinerary for a Cave Point trip We like all of our guests to show up at our location 15 minutes prior to their tour. We start with the waiver and then you will get fitted for your life jacket. Then we will leave from our shop at the departure time and drive 10 minutes to the boat launch where all of our guest will be given a paddle and receive an orientation on the most effective methods for maneuvering a kayak. Once the tour will kayak alongside Cave Point County Park to the edge of Whitefish Dunes State Park. This trip is an out and back, meaning that we will then return to the boat launch where we began before driving back to the shop. On the water will take 2 hours and cover roughly 4 miles of some of Door County's most popular coastline.
