We are excited to announce Boat Tours are back on for the 2025 Season! We look forward to welcoming guests aboard for another year of scenic adventures and unforgettable experiences. Tours are now bookable here at explorecraterlake.com.
The best way to see Crater Lake is by boat! For visitors wanting to explore Wizard Island, we offer a boat cruise or a quick shuttle ride straight to the island. The trail to our boat tours is a little over 2 miles long round trip and drops approximately 700 feet. The hike down to the dock takes approximately 30-45 minutes.
Boat Tours have closed for the 2025 Season!
