The Most Scenic Dells Boat Tour

There are numerous different options for touring Lake Delton by boat. I have also tried the jet boat and iconic Wisconsin Ducks and have had a good experience on both. What makes the Upper Dells Boat Tour unique is the two drop off excursions to explore the rock features on land. The tour is the only way I know to view these beautiful stop offs and are completely worth a trip. That’s why I think the Upper Dells Boat Tour is the most scenic Dells boat tour.

The boat tour itself cruises at a nice leisurely pace. It has open air seats on the top deck and open windows for viewing on the bottom deck. It’s appropriate for all ages and quite relaxing. The tour guides point out rock formations of note and provide local history. They also try and sell you some photo books but for some reason that is a part of all the boat tours in the area, don’t feel pressured to buy but I do recommend giving the generally young people in their summer jobs a bit of a tip.

The first landing of the Upper Dells Boat tour is at Witches Gultch. It is a bewitching cavern of rocks and water below which you explore from the wooden boardwalk. It’s not a long path but it is very beautiful. At the end is a small snack shack if you need a quick bite.

The final stop on the tour is to standing rock. These rocks are visually unique and inspired their use in some of the first photography taken of moving subjects. They even give you a unique though brief experience of seeing their adorable trained german shepherd make the iconic leap across it. You can check it out in my video here or wait and see it on the tour for yourself.

We experienced so many stunning views on the Upper Dells Boat Tour and had a relaxing boat tour to boot. We’re not affiliated in any way with the boat tour, just had a good time. If you want to book your tour you can follow the link here.
