Discover Superior Kayaking Experience

Superior Stay Hotel is pleased to recommend Superior Kayaking Company to offer guided kayaking tours to our guests.

Superior Kayaking Company is an adventure outfitter serving Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. They provide residents and visitors to the area with opportunities to safely explore the wild and beautiful environments along the southern shore of Lake Superior. They provide sea kayak tours at Presque Isle in Marquette and Grand Island in Munising, Michigan.

• Our best advice: Layer! Lake Superior has a cooling effect on this area of the UP, so we tend to experience lower temperatures with a cool breeze out on the water. That said, we also have a few warm spells every summer with highs in the 80s and even 90s. The best way to prepare for a typical day is to wear a warm layer (softshell, fleece, spring jacket, etc) in the morning with a lighter layer (tank top, sun shirt, etc) underneath for later in the day. Most people warm up quickly when they start paddling and are ready to shed their jackets well before lunch.
• Pants or shorts are both acceptable. However, we recommend against wearing blue jeans or another cotton because it can be uncomfortable and cold if wet.
• We try our best to keep your feet dry, but that isn’t always possible. Most of our clients prefer to wear some kind of water shoe or outdoor sandal (Chaco, Keen, Teva, etc). Some wear tennis shoes and take the chance they’ll get wet. It’s up to you!
