Still not convinced? Well, don't listen to us; we're rather biased. Here's some lovely words from our guests.

"If you only do one tour of Pictured Rocks, do this one! I definitely recommend this tour and it's the most fun I've had on a tour in a long time! It is a rollercoaster-off-the-tracks, wild ride and we look forward to going again in the future!"
