Appostle Islands Water Taxi with Escape Excursions
On lake Superior… the lake is the boss — and the boss says: have fun today.
There’s a moment out on Lake Superior when everything changes. The shoreline fades, the water deepens to that unmistakable blue, and suddenly you realize—this isn’t just a lake. It’s an inland ocean. And the best way to move through it? On your own terms.
That’s where Escape Excursions’ Apostle Islands Water Taxi comes in.
Whether you’re heading out to meet friends on a remote island, chasing a quiet stretch of shoreline, or setting up your own day of kayaking, hiking, or camping, our water taxi service is built for freedom. No crowded tour schedules. No rigid timelines. Just a reliable ride, captained by someone who knows these waters inside and out.
Your Ride to the Wild Side
The Apostle Islands aren’t something you fully experience from land. The real magic is out there—beyond Bayfield, beyond the marinas—where sandstone cliffs rise straight from the water, sea caves echo with waves, and islands feel untouched.
With our water taxi, you can:
Get dropped off at remote islands for hiking or beach days
Access legendary spots like Devils Island without the long haul
Shuttle gear for camping trips
Plan a custom pickup time that works for your adventure
It’s simple: you decide where you want to go—we’ll get you there safely and efficiently.
Built for Lake Superior
Lake Superior demands respect. Conditions can change fast, distances are longer than they look, and local knowledge makes all the difference.
With over a decade of USCG captain experience navigating these waters, Escape Excursions isn’t just a ride—it’s peace of mind. From reading wave patterns to knowing safe landing spots on different islands, every trip is handled with safety first and professionalism always.
Not Just a Taxi—An Experience
Even if you’re just catching a ride, it never feels like “just transportation.”
You’ll cruise past sea caves carved over thousands of years. You might spot bald eagles overhead or watch the water shift colors as the sun moves across the sky. And if conditions line up, that run out to Devils Island? It’s something people talk about for years.
Because around here, even the ride is part of the adventure.
