A definite must see in Door County, Cave Point offers amazing views of Lake Michigan from the magnificent rock formations that the caves of Cave Point are carved from. Truly an experience that is different every time you visit. Learn about the Niagra Escarpment and why this county is so darn rocky! Take some pictures with the best natural framing available. Hike down some of the root and rock infested trails to see vent holes and if it's windy, try not to get wet.

Seaquist Orchards Farm Market

The place to go for anything cherries in Door County, they have a great selection of premade pies, fillings, preserves, and treats ready to eat. Travelers will also get to see some of the orchards that the family maintains.

Ellison Bluff State Natural Area

Travelers will have a scenic drive down a tree canopied road that sneaks back to a little park which is perched on a massive bluff overlooking Green Bay. Visitors can walk down the stepped path to an overlook which is literally perched out on the sheer face of a rather high cliff overlooking the bay as far as you can see. Stunning views and a little thrilling if your brave enough to go out to the main viewpoint for a look. But fear not, there are plenty of great views available from just about everywhere.

Sister Bay

A narrated drive through the popular village of Sister Bay. Home to Scandinavian culture, a beautiful shore front, and quaint little shops.

Eagle Bluff Lighthouse

We will stop at the lighthouse if someone expresses interest. However, if you wish to go in and walk around, there is a small fee which is not included in our day trip; see exclusions. Viewing the lighthouse from the outside is free and you are able to get right up to it. There are also some great views of the bay from outside the lighthouse.

Peninsula State Park

Peninsula State Park is another Door County Must See. Travelers will be driven down the beautifully tree canopied roadways that twist through the park. The main stop in the park will be the Eagle Tower, but Sven's Bluff, and the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse could also be possibilities depending on the day and the group. (not all stops are guaranteed)

Dave did a great job of showing us around Door County and the highlights of the area. He gave a lot of interesting facts and history. He took us to places that we would not have normally stopped. Not only was the box lunch filled with a lot of food, the location that Dave picked for our picnic was beautiful. It was a wonderful day filled with amazing sites!

Some History & Some Beautiful Spots! Well organized. We were contacted throughout. Email preparing us that our lunch orders would be taken about a week before our trip, then contacted for that information. And then he would get with you the day before the trip to reconfirm pick up location. Dave picked us up at a nice parking lot in Egg Harbor actually before the 8am hour we were to meet him at. We were both there early so we started off and then he proceeded to pick up a couple in Sturgeon Bay. He made plenty of room for us in his luxury van that was very clean inside. Telling us and showing us about local history in Sturgeon Bay. From there he took up to some beautiful Scenic locations through many local towns. Provided with the trip was lunch....big enough that me and my husband shared one and took the rest back with us. A delicious sub/sandwich, chips and a cookie as well as a soft drink. He also provided water and snacks for the trip. It was a relaxing and very enjoyable trip.

We were fortunate enough to have our own private tour with Dave. He showed us all the great spots of Door County! It was a cooler day, a bit cloudy and not a lot of people were at each of our stops. Allowed for great photos and a relaxed experience. Dave is local to the area and knows a lot about all of the peninsula. He gave great insight on all the places we stopped to see and made wonderful recommendations for restaurants and things to do on our visit. So glad we did this trip on our first full day in Door County.
