We did the Sunset Tour July 17th. Bill was a wonderful guide. He gave us a lot of information and history of Voyagers NP. We saw Ellsworth Gardens, Kettle Falls Hotel and Steven's Island. His boat is quite comfortable and rides great across the water.

We had the best time with Bill and his pup, Irish! We enjoyed an evening on the water and Bill navigated us to so many hidden gems. He has generational knowledge of the area and its history. I’m so thankful we booked with him and would recommend him to anyone looking to explore Voyagers National Park!!

Our Grand Tour of Voyageurs NP with Bill and his dog Irish was top tier. We really enjoyed all of his stories about the park and growing up in the area. We saw many beautiful sights and lots of eagles and enjoyed a lunch at Kettle Falls. Would absolutely recommend this tour with Bill to get a top Voyageurs NP experience.
