"Was somewhat concerned initially as weather was unseasonably cold for May 26 however, this soon passed as the crew made us feel comfortable, right at home, and assured us the boat had heat. Yes heat (this is Wisconsin) and the cruise did not disappoint. Our cruise was the Marquette & Joliet with M..."ichael Douglas (yes real name) as the Wis state historian sharing stories of the early explorers. Michael was detailed and enthusiastic; he knew the history backward and forward, was engaging. If history is not your thing; there was plenty of beautiful scenery in the backwater to keep you enthralled. Saw bald eagles and their nests; a few practically flew over the boat. From what the crew told me they see many types of birds on the water. Speaking of the crew; they were equally enthusiastic, courteous, and knew the river. If you're in the Prairie du Chien area this cruise down the Mississippi is a must see, you'll enjoy this trip.

"We took the Mississippi Explorer out of Prairie du Chien last evening on the dusk wildlife cruise. Captain Annie & her first mate (so sorry I didn't get her name) were awesome. They told stories & related many facts about the river. They pointed out eagles & nests with baby eagles, herons, turtles...", etc. About halfway through the trip Captain Annie turned off the engines & just let us all listen to the sounds of the birds & the great Mississippi. I was also impressed that they kept blankets on board; yes it got chilly! The crew made sure we were all comfortable. We docked at twilight. Really delightful! Reasonably priced.

"I really enjoyed the tour. It was a little too warm inside the building and a bit dark. There was some apple pressing going on outside which we enjoyed. The staff seemed very pleasant and knowledgeable. It was peaceful. Like going back in time."
