Great Excursion - We enjoyed two hours of sight seeing on Green Bay. Connie, our narrator, kept us informed and entertained. The trip through death's door gave us a feel of Lake Michigan's waves and a chance to view some lighthouses.

Great trip - This was a wonderful trip on a beautiful September afternoon. Connie, our tour guide, said that she had lived in Door County her entire life. She was so informative about the area. We sat on the top deck and had great views of the shoreline.

Informative Tour But Bad for Your Back! - I booked this trip 3 weeks prior to the date of departure. I was told to arrive 15 min before hand. Which I did. It was then that I was handed a boarding number just short of 100! Which meant I and my party couldn’t board until 94 people got on before me! If they would have told me about that procedure I would have obtained my boarding number at least an hour ahead of time and just browsed around the area while awaiting the departure time. The staff were lovely people and Connie was an excellent hostess with a wealth of information to share with the tour. I learned a lot about the Door County area and shore line. One deficit of this tour is that the seating arrangements are not comfortable at all for people over 60! The bench seats are hard and if you end up getting a bench on the side of the catamaran you have to strain your neck to twist and strain your back to the look at the item that the docent is talking about! Also your back hurts because there’s nothing to lean back on as the back of the bench is up against the side of the boat. Possibly a suggestion to bring a pillow or a stadium seat would be in order for comfort. OR get rid of the bench seats and put in other types of chairs that would be comfortable for sitting and leaning back on. Most of the customers were elderly that particular day and a lot of them looked uncomfortable as I did.
