About Northern Lights Adventures
Northern Lights Adventures operates boat tours, guided fishing charters, and sunset cruises from Port Superior Marina near Bayfield, Wisconsin. Their versatile operation lets visitors choose between scenic sightseeing tours of the Apostle Islands sea caves and lighthouses, productive fishing trips targeting Lake Superior's trout and salmon, or relaxing evening cruises that catch the sunset over the islands.
Sightseeing tours visit the mainland sea caves, historic lighthouses on Raspberry and Devils Islands, and other landmarks within the National Lakeshore. Fishing charters pursue lake trout, brown trout, and salmon with all tackle and equipment provided. Sunset cruises offer a more leisurely experience, with the captain navigating through the islands as the light fades over Lake Superior. All trips depart from Port Superior Marina, about three miles north of downtown Bayfield.
The appeal of Northern Lights Adventures is their flexibility — rather than specialising in just one activity, they offer multiple ways to experience the Apostle Islands by boat, making them a good fit for families or groups with mixed interests. Their smaller vessel creates a more personal atmosphere than the large excursion boats, and the captain tailors each trip to conditions and guest preferences rather than running a fixed route.
