Join us on this inspiring trip to the Sea Caves of the Apostles. Nothing can prepare you for the handiwork of nature evident in these caves. It is one of the most beautiful places to visit in a kayak. Only from the seat of a kayak can you truly appreciate the Apostle Island Sea Caves. While there you can take in the sites around the quaint village of Bayfield Wisconsin and Lake Superior. We stay on the shore of Lake Superior, in the cottages of Superior Rentals;just a few miles south of our launch point. Centuries of wave action, freezing, and thawing have sculpted shorelines throughout Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Some of the Great Lakes' most spectacular scenery occurs where these forces interact with sandstone of the Sand Island Formation to create extensive sea caves. Nature has carved delicate arches, vaulted chambers, and honeycombed passageways into cliffs on the north shore of Devils Island, Swallow Point on Sand Island, and along the mainland near the Lakeshore's western boundary. People come to Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in summer and winter to visit the sea caves and witness Lake Superior's ever-changing handiwork. The caves' beauty varies dramatically with the season. In summer the red sandstone is sandwiched between sapphire blue lake and emerald green forests that grow right up to the brink of the cliffs. Large waves generate plumes of spray and thunderous explosions as they surge into the sea caves. While visitors must enjoy these scenes from a distance, such is not the case when the lake is tranquil. Under calm conditions, kayakers can explore the caves' deepest recesses while listening to the murmur of water against rock.
