A guided paddle from the Kelleys Island State Park launch along the limestone shoreline, gear and beginner instruction included.
Lake Erie Island Tours & Experiences
Four guided outings worth booking through Viator: kayak and trail days on Kelleys Island (including the Glacial Grooves), plus a private sunset sail past Cedar Point from Sandusky.
These are the same experiences we recommend from the ferry, Kelleys, attractions, and Cedar Point guides — each has its own page covering what you see, who it suits, videos, and what reviewers keep mentioning. Availability and final price live on Viator.
A two-hour guided paddle timed to sunset, equipment and instruction provided.
A guided loop through the state parks and preserves, from the Glacial Grooves to the island’s Devonian-era rock, on foot and by bike.
A private two-hour sunset sail that passes Cedar Point from the water, the Marblehead Lighthouse and the Lake Erie Islands. You’re welcome to bring your own drinks.
How these fit a Lake Erie trip
- Kelleys day from Marblehead: ferry over, Glacial Grooves hike or Treasure Tour kayak, beach hour, ferry home — see the Kelleys Island guide.
- Put-in-Bay + one quiet morning: sleep on South Bass, hop to Kelleys for geology or kayaking, back for the harbor evening via the ferry comparison.
- Cedar Point evening calm: park day in Sandusky, then the Black Pearl sunset sail — details in the Cedar Point guide.
