#1 in Wildlife Cruises on the Mississippi River!
Come and explore the Mississippi River as you never have before, from the decks of our Mississippi Explorer riverboats. Our cruises are centered around the amazing diversity and ecology that the Upper Mississippi Nat'l Wildlife and Fish Refuge offers. We take our passengers off the beaten track of the river's main-channel and into the backwaters of the Mississippi - much like a relaxing drive down a scenic country road! Come explore with us and see more than what the main-channel restricted competitors could ever hope to show you. With four great locations and many other "stopping points" on the Mississippi River, we hope you think of us for your next family, business, or group event. Please click on the area under OUR PORTS that you are interested in for schedules, prices, maps, and other helpful information. We are also excited to announce that you are able to now buy your reservations online! Check this option out and book your cruise experience today!
EXPLORE MORE. SEE MORE.
Explore more. See more. That's our company motto and just overall good words to live by. But don't take our word for it, come explore with us and see for yourself! Join us on one of our fully guided and interactive riverboat cruises through the wild and scenic backwaters of the Upper Mississippi's wildlife refuge and leave the standard "Up, Down, Turn-Around" Cruise behind. We'll stop at bald eagle nests, beaver lodges, and lotus fields. We'll explain and narrate the history of the region including the wonderful ecosystem that is the "Upper Miss" wildlife refuge. Young and old alike, our variety of Mississippi River backwater cruises are safe, educational, and relaxing ways to enjoy America's River!
