After reaching the falls, the riverboat docks for one hour and fifteen minutes, allowing for a 5/8 mile nature hike to our private view of the upper Tahquamenon Falls. After the stopover, the riverboat and train retrace their route back to Soo Junction.

Important notice: We will be starting this tour earlier than normal since the riverboat tour has been delayed until July 1st. Online ticket sales for June 15th through June 29th are not available yet. Once we are sure the governor isn't extending the stay at home order, we will make online ticket sales available. We are currently taking reservations over the phone for those dates. Covid-19 safety rules will be in place, so we expect to have a smaller carrying capacity and reservations are recommended.
