 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The three of us did Death’s Door tour with Captain Allen. We were trying to find parking and he called and waited the extra few minutes to board - much appreciated! We didn’t know what to expect - the whole experience exceeded expectations. He was a fun, funny, and knowledgeable captain. It was the highlight of our Door County trip! We wished we found Door County Adventures earlier so we could take advantage of more opportunities excursions! We hope that they add shipwreck snorkeling to their options next year! Sincerely, Minnesota Girls - 2025!
