The Keweenaw Takes Flight

Isle Royale Seaplanes

Part of the Isle Royale National Park experience is the journey there. For generations, folks have made that crossing from the Keweenaw by floatplane, trading the ferry deck for a window seat above Lake Superior.

When the island quiets for the season, Isle Royale Seaplanes doesn’t stay grounded. They turn back toward the Keweenaw, where the same skies open up over autumn forests, ridgelines and Lake Superior in full fall color.

Isle Royale Transportation & Aerial Tours

Lifting off from Torch Lake in Hubbell, MI, Isle Royale Seaplanes offers floatplane transportation to Isle Royale National Park's two harbors, Rock Harbor and Windigo, with flights taking about 40–45 minutes across Lake Superior.

Summer sightseeing & custom tours
Beyond transportation to the island, Isle Royale Seaplanes offers sightseeing flights and custom aerial tours. See the Keweenaw, Lake Superior and Isle Royale from above, with custom flights tailored to what you want to explore.

Fall color flights
When the Isle Royale season winds down and the fall color turns up, board the floatplane for an aerial fall color tour.. Seasonal fall color tours follow the Keweenaw coastline and cross over the ridges, offering a bird’s-eye view of the landscape in autumn.
