The Upper Dells features some of the areas most striking signature sandstone cliffs. Along the scenic route, you will see some of the tallest rock formations of the region such as Steamboat Rock and Black Hawk’s Profile.

During the two-hour Upper Dells Tour, the boat also stops at two historic shorelandings that are exclusive to Dells Boat Tours – Witches Gulch and Stand Rock.

Witches Gulch is the first stop where passengers can explore mysterious passageways as they walk through this cool canyon that offers beauty
beyond words.

Stand Rock is the area’s world-famous trademark – sculpted by the forces of nature. Watch in amazement as our specially trained jumping dogs leap the five-foot chasm from the main cliff to the rock ledge. The demonstration commemorates the world’s first stop-action photo taken by famous Dells photographer H.H. Bennett in 1888.

Lower Dells Tour

The one-hour Lower Dells Tour highlights the unique impact that the glacial age had on this region of Wisconsin. Relive the river and learn the colorful past of the Dells, including stories about the ghost town Newport and the once-vibrant logging era. The tour highlights notable locations below the river’s dam and recounts Native American history and legends as the boat winds around the unique Rocky islands, a group of sandstone formations projecting up
from the river.
