Wisconsin is gorgeous! So proud to live here😊 I've been to Madeline many times. I've wanted to do this. And after watching your video, I'm going this summer 😊 thanks for sharing your adventure 🤗
I had no idea kayaking there was a thing. I assumed Lake Superior would be too crazy, but the conditions looked amazing! It was a lot of fun watching you guys kayak 🚣
The colour of the water against the colour of the rocks is just stunning, completely agree with your thoughts Kathryn! At 4:59, I thought the person in the front of the kayak was casually smoking a pipe whilst your guide talked about the rocks... then realised they were sun glasses 🤣 The kayaking through those caves and into the crevasse was so cool. There's something about having the confidence to do these sorts of things when there's a guide. I understand the nerves you had about the footage from the Go Pro whilst keeping up with the group but I thought this was a fab video, really enjoyed watching it ❤️❤️ Also, it's funny hearing you talk about the price and then say 'but it doesn't include tip'. When you try and tip people in the UK outside of certain job roles (wait staff in restaurants, taxi drivers, housekeeping type roles are the socially accepted one) but anything else is met with confusion. We tried tipping some guides who took us coasteering in Cornwall earlier on this summer and they just didn't know what to do! 🤦♀️ In the end, we made the suggestion of using it for a round of drinks together after work and they eventually accepted it! 🤣🤣 Do you guys find tipping in the US a bit of a minefield or is it 2nd nature because you grew up there? We Google EVERYTHING about tips when stateside.... how much is expected, how to leave the tip, is it someone we shouldn't tip (we were very pleased to find out via the internet that you don't tip National Park Rangers otherwise that would have been really embarrassing!) etc. I remember on our trip back in 2015, we Googled how much to tip housekeeping in a Vegas hotel and left the upper-end amount with a cheeky note asking if we could have a bit more coffee. When we returned to our room, we found a MOUNTAIN of coffee pods 🤣🤣 and it's just not 2nd nature to us over here. I remember as a kid, my parents would leave a tip for housekeeping at the end of our stay as we'd keep the same staff member for the full stay, then in the US you quickly learn to tip smaller amounts daily as the staff changes daily!
Hahahaha no pipe smoking on this tour! 🤣🤣 And we're glad you enjoyed the video! It was so hard to film while moving and listening and trying to actually enjoy it lol! Tipping is hard! Restaurants are straightforward (we have always been SO confused in the UK and EU how much to tip since typically you do less and we feel weird doing that), but for guides, we always struggle. The kayaking company had a blog post about tipping guides and the different percentages based on how much you enjoyed it, which helped a lot. We never want to be the ones giving too little of a tip! One time I was on a work trip in Vegas and I NEVER carry cash and they brought my bags to the room and I had no cash and felt horrible. So I found a coworker with cash and then tried to have someone at the hotel track down the person for me. So now we try to be more prepared with cash for any tours, but it's hard to remember!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Yeah as a nation, we tip less, but I always stress it's not because we're stingey!! Until recently, 10% had been the norm, but a 'discretionary' service charge of 12.5% is often added these days. By law, they can't make you pay it, unless you are told before a meal that it's mandatory (often the case for parties of 8+ dining) but of course, being very British and never wanting to kick up a fuss, very few people dare to ask for it to be removed. I believe the smaller tip % is because owners have to pay wait staff the National minimum wage (as a minimum) and it's illegal to meet that hourly wage using tips (which I understand is common practice in many US states?) So in order for the business to have enough cash to pay the wages, the prices on the menu is higher. So the other 10-or-so-% of the tip that you're used to paying in the US, is still being paid, just as part of the food price. However if you over-tip, I'm sure no one would ever complain. I've done my share of waiting tables when I was younger and I know the pay is pitiful for the physical labour so I'd never not tip... no matter how terrible the service! Except for that one time... Like your Vegas horror story, I have one similar. Montenegro in 2013. It was our last night - next day we were driving across the border to Croatia so had spent all our Monteneg...rin? money and the restaurant assured us over and over, we could pay with card. Except at the end of the meal and they would not accept a tip by card. It's 8 years later and it still to this day haunts me! Were you successful in finding the staff member to give a retrospective tip?
That is true! Our waitstaff in the US get paid very little and rely on tips and we had heard other countries waitstaff gets paid a more livable wage. Having to deal with cranky customers sounds like a difficult job, they deserve those tips! haha Oh no! I feel like I have had similar issues with that, which makes me feel so bad! I tried to track them down and gave the tip to the concierge people to give to them, but for all I know they just kept it haha. I will pretend they got it and fell better hahah
My dad and I used to kayak that coast and explore those caves when I was a kid. There was one day when the water was dead calm, and that first cliffside adjacent to the beach was really eerie because you could see all the massive boulders that had fallen off the cliffs and were just lurking there beneath you. Something about the size of them, and the sense of how small the boat was by comparison, gave me shivers. And then paddling further along you could see the bottom getting further and further away until eventually it was just the black depths. Haunting but amazing.
Bayfield & the Apostle Islands are an awesomely beautiful area. I am from Minnesota and went to Bayfield for a Home Free concert and fell in love with the area.
Aw! 💜 My cousins grew up there and making the 4 hour drive from the Twin Cities to visit them was hands down one of the biggest highlights if my childhood. You guys did a great job showcasing this hidden heaven!!
My Wife and I hiked all over the area that you kayaked in March of 2018. Look for Wisconsin's Ice Caves and you will be amazed, really awesome. That was our first trip to the Duluth, Mn. and Superior, Wi. areas and the whole area blew us away! We are all about the Rockies and the mountain west but this area has become one of our new favorite places. You should try the area where the start of the Mississippi River is. The Mississippi falls about a foot and a half over some rocks and you can walk in 2-2.5 foot deep water and only about about 5-6 feet wide for over a mile before it slowly grows to the very big body of water that it is where we live in Chester, Il. about an hour south of St. Louis, Mo. We love your videos, where you go and how you cover all the interesting details. I can only wish there were GoPro cams and such back in the early 1970's. What an perfect way to spend visiting all over this beautiful country. Check some of the videos about the Apostle Island Ice Caves. It's really hard to imagine the beauty walking over the 60-80 foot deep crystal clear blue water over the same spots you were!
Great that you did caves at Meyer's Beach. Well done. I had a pre trip caffeine boast in Bayfield before embarking on my 2 week adventure as a Lighthouse keeper on Michigan Island, one of the 21 Apostle Islands. What a unique and apecial opportunity. Enjoy Wisconsin... hopefully cheese 🧀
Wow, that sounds amazing! Do you have experience doing that? Or was that just a cool opportunity you got to do? And we hope you like cheese because the next video is ALL about cheese haha
@@AdventuresofAplusK I've volunteered in numerous places over the years. This is my first Lighthouse opportunity. it's such a wonderful volunteer position. Always love wearing my volunteer shirts.
THAT WAS SO AWESOME and SO BEAUTIFUL❣️ Made me smile to see you all having so much fun…those crevasses were so teeny tiny narrow! What an experience! Loved your outtakes too❣️
What fun! I have been to the Apostle Islands before, but didn't know about the kayak tour. Thanks for sharing. I'm adding this to my travel bucket list for sure.
@@AdventuresofAplusK Yes. We camped for several days on one of the islands. I can't remember which one, but it was one that was further out. It was many years ago.
Wisconsin? SERIOUS? Wow! You two are like a virtual encyclopedia! Thank you for all your hard work and research. The videos keep getting better and better bravo guys! ~Cara 😊
Awesome video! 2 yrs ago my family and I were in Bayfield for the first time. We did the same kayaking trip. The sun was setting as we kayaked back to the beach. It was amazing! Thanks for sharing your experiences. I can’t wait for the next video.
Seeing these NP videos around the Great Lakes makes us so pumped for when we eventually go!! We went sea kayaking around Mt Desert Island - Acadia NP! It was so fun and incredibly beautiful!! We will definitely follow in y’alls footsteps and go sea kayaking up there too!!!👍
Wow! Thanks for making Wisconsin look boring and ugly… wait. Nope. Now we wanna visit even more 😂. Such a cool adventure, glad you guys got to share - the water against the cliffs ❤️
Thank you for this beautiful video! I'm outside of the N/W side of Chicago and Bayfield is approx 7 1/2 hours drive ... Apostle Islands are #1 on my places to visit
"It gets narrow back there, so DO NOT MESS UP OUR KAYAKS. Okay, let's go." I only made it into Wisconsin once, and briefly. In fact, I lived in Iowa but only got to see, oh, Chicago and Minnesota. You visited at the right time. I saw a football game in St. Cloud in December or January of 1990-something and am still thawing out. Keep on motorin', y'all. I have to live vicariously through you at the moment! :) (Parenthetically, of all the places you've gone, your Houston video is the second-most viewed?! As a resident, I smile, but I can see why. We are not used to people thinking much about us past the floods, the Rockets, and...uh.......that's it. But what good food we do have. So I think "my people" showed up to watch that one.)
It's always very confusing which videos do well. City ones tend to do better, especially if it's a lesser visited city (like Sioux Falls or Little Rock), but usually it's a lot of locals that find it and then complain about the city or tell us we went to the wrong places hah.
We have WALKED there in the Winter! The ice formations attract people from all over the world and it is incredible! Too bad you didn't get a chance to go to Copperfalls State Park which is about 15 miles South of Ashland. It is really spectacular as well.
That’s so cool! We have seen photos and it looks wild! 😱 And we have lots to see in WI still, we focused more on experiences vs. checking off a ton of sights this time, so we will be back!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I've done the caves in a kayak and copper falls. both are great. If you like waterfalls, you can see probably 8 on one day up there.
Every post you make is better than the last! You give such beautiful reviews of every place you visit!! Keep them coming! Traveling around the Lakes will knock your socks off.
Hello Adventurers😊😊😊, and WOW...HOLY COW!! Those sea caves that you went through kayaking was just AMAZING!! I have never kayaked before but I may try that now. That looks like so much fun. I can't wait to see what's next👍👍👍👍👍.
I love all your videos. My husband and I are visiting all the places and restaurants that are covered in your Colorado vlogs, and this place will go to our to-do list. 🙂
If you all go back to Colorado, it would be so cool to see you at Garden of the Gods & maybe a cogwheel ride up to the top of Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs...and then lovely Manitou. 😊🏞🏕
One of the best of Midwest vlogs so far. Such a unique adventure today, loved every minute of it. BTW you have a dust spot on the sensor of your Sony camera I believe. Again, great job on this one.
Yeah the darn dust is the bane of our existence, especially on sunny days when we cannot see anything we are filming 😫 We try hard to keep it clean, but it’s tough! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow! That was so incredibly beautiful and even cooler than I imagined. I have had this on my radar for a long time now but no imminent plans. You guys have me stoked for when we do. I didn’t think it would be such tight confines. That was unexpected and really neat. Awesome job filming this. I am sure this was a tough one to pull off. Glad you were able to experience this. I know Lake Superior can have unpredictable conditions.
This was a bucket list adventure! We had this on our list for a long time! Going through those tight spaces made it even more fun and adventurous! We hope you can make it out to do this. Tours are always tough to film because we never know what to expect! Thanks for your kind comment, as always!
WOW what a great adventure! The smiles on your faces tell just how much fun you were having. Thanks for sharing places we are not able to go on our own. We are not kayakers especially in cold water. We appreciate all the hard work you do in filming and showing us fantastic places! Safe Travels.
So awesome to see you in Wisconsin and what a jumping off point!! You go through a lot more caves here than the tour I did on Madeline island. It was still amazing there as well just a bit different. Thanks for showcasing this one so well!
I had no idea that a crevasse could be so scenic. And I’m well versed in National Seashores but I didn’t even know National Lakeshores were a thing. I’ve learned so much from your adventures. Thank you!
Pretty cool stuff eh? We missed you barely!!! Were there last month my friends! Devils Island was awesome! Loved those lighthouses too - I was NOT able to do the kayaking thing - but I was very curious how in the heck you were able to video, paddle, sightsee, cave explore...all together! Seriously...I am IMPRESSED!
It was HARD! Hahah lots of one of us just paddling and us frantically trying to not get left behind 😂 Worth it though to share this video, but definitely was more of a challenge compared to normal!
A quick question - We are going soon and I was wondering, why did you cross the pennisula to Cornucopia get your kayaking tour when they have outfitters in Bayfield that go to the caves on Madeline Island?
Those rocks were beautiful!! What an awesome experience! I was even a little scared about you guys going to far into that crevasse! Made me nervous. Anyway, wonderful vlog and thanks again for taking me along. : )
After melting today in the Ohio heat…all that water looks so refreshing! My brain is fried but I’ll try to leave a kind and thoughtful comment. Who knew Wisconsin has caves in the water like that?! It almost looks like something you would find in Vernazza Italy! These caves are so cool and beautiful! It was evident you guys were having a blast! Also Katherine had a good hair day! Not that she normally doesn’t…. Thanks for sharing guys! 🔥🔥🔥
Hopefully you all see this, are you able to remember which option you chose for their tours? Was it a half/full day? Thanks! My boyfriend and I love watching your videos, gives us great travel ideas!
I am TERRIFIED of kayaking for some reason (my husband not so much), but that. looks. AMAZING. That intense water color and exploring places that look like they should be off limits. Too bad there's nothing like that closer here because, you know, desert... 🤣
Lol I kept getting nervous about the caves like a scary movie 😂😂 but so beautiful!! Never heard of this place but it's definitely on my list now. Can't wait to see the next adventure you two! 🧀🧀🧀
Awesome. What did you do with your dog. We are about to take a long trip with our dog and was wondering how that went. Thanks for taking time to share your adventures
She was boarded for the day in Ashland. We share more insight into how we travel with a dog here: adventuresofaplusk.com/full-time-van-life-with-a-dog-tips-for-traveling-with-a-dog/
Hi guys do you know did you do the “Apostle Island Sea Caves Exploration” or “The Romans Point Sea Caves and Nature Paddle?” I really want to do this on my Wisconsin trip but I really want to do this specific tour! I would really appreciate the help!
It wasn't too bad! At first it felt like it would tip over haha, but we got used to it! We aren't used to being inside a kayak, but it was awesome to not really have our lower half get wet!

Thanks and thanks for watching!
I had no idea kayaking there was a thing. I assumed Lake Superior would be too crazy, but the conditions looked amazing! It was a lot of fun watching you guys kayak 🚣
We got lucky! Sometimes they have to change locations to a different body of water. But thankfully it was calm for us that day!
My Wife and I love your videos! They are helping us deal with not travelling! We are in Ontario Canada.
Thank you so much for watching Dave!

Thank you so much Elizabeth! What an awesome spot to be close-ish too!

These videos are SO helpful…literally used them to create our trip this summer!!!
Quick question: where did you board Kona? Thank you!!!
That water is beautiful, looks amazing under the caves
It was gorgeous there!
You did it again, you are really finding the best our area offers. Once every 10 years or so you can walk out to the “Ice Caves” great adventure!
We would love to do that! Although it does sound a bit scary haha
Wow! Great video. If it were me, I'd be saying "Oh Heck no!" to the crevasse.
Hahaha it was very tight in there!
So cool! I don't think I would have made it that far back in the crevasse!
It is definitely not for those who hate tight spaces!
Loved this! I lived in Wisconsin for 18 years and never made it to the Apostle Islands but y’all just gave me a reason to head back! 💛💚
Ooo go go go!
Awesome video! 2 yrs ago my family and I were in Bayfield for the first time. We did the same kayaking trip. The sun was setting as we kayaked back to the beach. It was amazing!
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I can’t wait for the next video.
That sounds magical! So glad you've gotten to experience it too!
Great job in a beautiful place. The islands are beautiful too.
We definitely want to go to some of the islands next time!
You did a great job on filming this spectacular area! 👏 looks like alot of fun & you make it fun too!!
Thank you! This was a tough one to film haha, kayaking and filming is hard, so we’re glad you enjoyed it!
Our home state! At last!!
Woo!
Wow!! This was amazing 👏 so beautiful 😍 That water is such a lovely blue! 😎👍
It was stunning! 😍 😍
What a kayak ride guys.. I'm adding this kayak tourin my bucket list.. I enjoy the vlog a lot. Thank you ❤❤
We hope you can do it someday! So amazing!

You guys did amazing with the video of the kayak tour. I felt like I was right there. Thank you!
We are so glad you enjoyed it!
Well now Wisconsin is added to the bucket list!
It is beautiful! The Great Lakes have truly blown us away!
Thxs for sharing this adventure when I was there we had 3 foot seas so we had to kayak the back waters
Whoa, i never knew about these sea caves! Neat!!
They are so fun! We hope you can experience them someday!

It was so fun to go into those little caves!

@@AdventuresofAplusK We've gone on trips to the whole area for 20 years and we still haven't seen it all!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I've done the caves in a kayak and copper falls. both are great. If you like waterfalls, you can see probably 8 on one day up there.
Every post you make is better than the last! You give such beautiful reviews of every place you visit!! Keep them coming! Traveling around the Lakes will knock your socks off.
You’re too kind, thank you! Excited to share the next one-it’s a bit different than normal! The lakes were amazing, we had the best time 🥰
What a nice area, glad you enjoyed
It was beautiful out there!
Hello Adventurers😊😊😊, and WOW...HOLY COW!! Those sea caves that you went through kayaking was just AMAZING!! I have never kayaked before but I may try that now. That looks like so much fun. I can't wait to see what's next👍👍👍👍👍.
It was such a blast! And thankfully the waters were pretty calm, which made the kayaking part easier too. We hope you can try it someday!
Awesome video, wow those narrow passages.....
It was such a blast!
I love all your videos. My husband and I are visiting all the places and restaurants that are covered in your Colorado vlogs, and this place will go to our to-do list. 🙂
Yay! We hope you enjoy Colorado!
If you all go back to Colorado, it would be so cool to see you at Garden of the Gods & maybe a cogwheel ride up to the top of Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs...and then lovely Manitou. 😊🏞🏕
@@Saffron.Aerowyn_07, we did visit the garden of Gods, cogwheel ride to Pikes Peak, and visit beautiful Manitou. 🤗 what an amazing experience 😍
I was smiling along with you two the whole video. ❤️
We couldn’t wipe it off of our faces! 😍
What a beautiful place and you did great capturing it, thank you 😊
Thanks Cathy!
the kayak tour looked awesome!!!! would love to do that... so cool to be somewhere other than open water!
It was unreal! Those caves were so fun to squeeze into!
One of the best of Midwest vlogs so far. Such a unique adventure today, loved every minute of it. BTW you have a dust spot on the sensor of your Sony camera I believe. Again, great job on this one.
Yeah the darn dust is the bane of our existence, especially on sunny days when we cannot see anything we are filming 😫 We try hard to keep it clean, but it’s tough! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Fantastic work(play) guyz👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Mark!
That looked amazing!! Can’t wait to see the rest of WI!!😀
It was such a fun way to kick off our time in the area!
What an awesome experience..😍😍
It was a blast!
Wow! That was so incredibly beautiful and even cooler than I imagined. I have had this on my radar for a long time now but no imminent plans. You guys have me stoked for when we do. I didn’t think it would be such tight confines. That was unexpected and really neat.
Awesome job filming this. I am sure this was a tough one to pull off. Glad you were able to experience this. I know Lake Superior can have unpredictable conditions.
This was a bucket list adventure! We had this on our list for a long time! Going through those tight spaces made it even more fun and adventurous! We hope you can make it out to do this.
Tours are always tough to film because we never know what to expect! Thanks for your kind comment, as always!
Thanks for sharing your video capture!
Thank you for watching!
WOW what a great adventure! The smiles on your faces tell just how much fun you were having. Thanks for sharing places we are not able to go on our own. We are not kayakers especially in cold water. We appreciate all the hard work you do in filming and showing us fantastic places! Safe Travels.
We had too much fun! And we are glad you enjoyed it and could experience it through the video!
So awesome to see you in Wisconsin and what a jumping off point!! You go through a lot more caves here than the tour I did on Madeline island. It was still amazing there as well just a bit different. Thanks for showcasing this one so well!
We'd love to make it to Madeline Island next time! Looks beautiful there!
Beautiful sea caves adventure.
The caves were spectacular! 😍
Wow what a beautiful Kayak tour , we love watching your tours .
Thank you so much!
I went sailing around the Apostle Islands many years ago. I grew up in Wisconsin. Safe Travels you 3
That sounds amazing!
I had no idea that a crevasse could be so scenic. And I’m well versed in National Seashores but I didn’t even know National Lakeshores were a thing. I’ve learned so much from your adventures. Thank you!
It turns out there are 3 now! There used to be 4, but one turned into a national park a few years ago (Indiana Dunes)!
Wonderful filming of the caves adventure.
Thank you!
Pretty cool stuff eh? We missed you barely!!! Were there last month my friends! Devils Island was awesome! Loved those lighthouses too - I was NOT able to do the kayaking thing - but I was very curious how in the heck you were able to video, paddle, sightsee, cave explore...all together! Seriously...I am IMPRESSED!
It was HARD! Hahah lots of one of us just paddling and us frantically trying to not get left behind 😂 Worth it though to share this video, but definitely was more of a challenge compared to normal!
Love the video! And it's so close, I'm in Minnesota and it's good to know I can get out there! Thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice sea caves and upload 🤙
Thank you!
😮wow, love the kayaking!!!
It was such a fun activity!
A quick question - We are going soon and I was wondering, why did you cross the pennisula to Cornucopia get your kayaking tour when they have outfitters in Bayfield that go to the caves on Madeline Island?
Brilliant! We want to go there and do that!
We hope you can go here someday!
Those rocks were beautiful!! What an awesome experience! I was even a little scared about you guys going to far into that crevasse! Made me nervous. Anyway, wonderful vlog and thanks again for taking me along. : )
The rocks were sooo beautiful, especially against that water!
thanks guys
That looks so cool! Another epic video!!
Thank you so much!
How far in that crevasse did you go before it got that narrow?
After melting today in the Ohio heat…all that water looks so refreshing! My brain is fried but I’ll try to leave a kind and thoughtful comment. Who knew Wisconsin has caves in the water like that?! It almost looks like something you would find in Vernazza Italy! These caves are so cool and beautiful! It was evident you guys were having a blast! Also Katherine had a good hair day! Not that she normally doesn’t…. Thanks for sharing guys! 🔥🔥🔥
We feel ya Brad! This Midwest heat and humidity has been KILLING US! It's brutal! But the water was mega refreshing, we almost wanted to jump in!
I’m so excited to see this!!! It’s on my list yo go to
It is so much fun! We highly recommend it!
How funny, in your opening town there’s a shot with our ACA paddle groups leaders car and kayak parked on the street. Cheers
Thank you for sharing! Looks so cool! This is similar to Pictured Rocks in MI UP.
We saw lots of folks kayaking at pictured rocks as well. The water there is insane!
Been a Wisconsinite my whole life and I'm embarrassed to say I've never been to the Apostle Islands :( Lovely video!
Oh you gotta get out there! It's incredible!
Cool video! Now you'll have to learn how to do an Eskimo roll for your next kayak adventure...
Oooo that sounds fun!
Hopefully you all see this, are you able to remember which option you chose for their tours? Was it a half/full day? Thanks! My boyfriend and I love watching your videos, gives us great travel ideas!
Hi, Emma! We did the half day tour! Thanks for watching!
Those caves are so cool!
They were an absolute blast!
I am TERRIFIED of kayaking for some reason (my husband not so much), but that. looks. AMAZING. That intense water color and exploring places that look like they should be off limits. Too bad there's nothing like that closer here because, you know, desert... 🤣
Hahaha any slot canyons you can kayak through?
Nice VLOG.....my anxiety went through the roof watching you guys go into that narrow crevasse!!!
It was pretty tight in there!
I've walked in there when it was frozen!
Adam, that may be the first & last time in your life you'll say your skirt fell off!! You guys are such a wonderful couple, we love you guys.
😂😂😂
Lol I kept getting nervous about the caves like a scary movie 😂😂 but so beautiful!! Never heard of this place but it's definitely on my list now. Can't wait to see the next adventure you two! 🧀🧀🧀
I think we were just too pumped to even be nervous haha!
You guys are awesome. Beautiful
So glad you enjoyed the scenery! 💕
That last crevasse gave me the willies. Reminded me of the trash compactor scene in Star Wars. Haha. But what a beautiful lake.
Hahaha we surprisingly were not freaked out!
That was AMAZING!!
So happy you enjoyed it!
The caves were awesome
They were sooo fun!
Another Awesome Video! 😊
So glad you enjoyed it!
We loved this video ! 👍😀
Yay! So glad!
Oooooo fun!! I’m not sure I could kayak through a cave! 😬
Ok, that wasn’t so bad. Super cool!
It was soooo much fun! But we don't mind tight spaces usually.
Awesome. What did you do with your dog. We are about to take a long trip with our dog and was wondering how that went. Thanks for taking time to share your adventures
She was boarded for the day in Ashland. We share more insight into how we travel with a dog here: adventuresofaplusk.com/full-time-van-life-with-a-dog-tips-for-traveling-with-a-dog/
Hi guys do you know did you do the “Apostle Island Sea Caves Exploration” or “The Romans Point Sea Caves and Nature Paddle?” I really want to do this on my Wisconsin trip but I really want to do this specific tour! I would really appreciate the help!
I’ve always wanted to visit the apostle islands! Also how shaky was the sea kayak?
It wasn't too bad! At first it felt like it would tip over haha, but we got used to it! We aren't used to being inside a kayak, but it was awesome to not really have our lower half get wet!
