Kayak & Hike around an Amazing Bluff!
Quick Details
This takes our 2 hour Door Bluff Tour(shipwreck, pictographs, water bluff view) and adds on an exploration up to a majestic view atop the Door Bluff Headlands where we have a picnic highlighting some locally produced foods. Led by a passionate guide who loves the area.
This kayak tour travels along the shores of Door Bluff County Park. It is one of our most picturesque, enjoyable tours with plenty of variety.
If wind and waves are unsafe for this tour, we can last minute reschedule to a Death’s Door Ebike & Hike Tour at discounted cost.
No experience is necessary and Red Cross-trained instruction is provided. We meet at the Garrett Bay Boat Launch in Ellison Bay. After an introductory lesson and a launch we go visit the Schooner Fleetwing shipwreck. From there we head over to the cliffs along Door Bluff County Park and search for the Native American Pictographs. After hearing a narrative from the guide about the drawings, we head for a view of the highest bluff in Door County from the water. Then we pull the kayaks up on shore and hike up to that viewpoint. The guide sets up a small charcuterie picnic to enjoy at the top of the bluff and we taste some local small batch items; Door County Goat Chevre, dried Door County Cherries, some pickled items and some crackers. Take some photos, search for some morels, then head back down to the kayaks to head back to the launch spot. An amazing tour with plenty of variety. Signup early, this one fills up quickly.
