Not your average boat tour! - It was so much fun and very informative! I love that the Seadog is a speedboat and takes passengers out onto Lake Michigan, as well as cruises down the river for the architecture tour. Much more fun than your average tour boat!!! Our tour guide H (I can’t recall his name!) was fantastic and kept us entertained the entire time.

Seadog Survivor - The Seadog River experience was a lot of fun. The boat had comfortable seats and a lively (and corny) guide who was very informative. The tour began with a speedboat style tour on Lake Michigan….very invigorating. Then we went thru the locks, which was quite interesting, into the river and learned of the different architecture of the city. All in all….great for the price.
