Mother’s Day Daily Boat Cruise
Enjoy some time on the river with Mom! Enjoying a tour of the St Croix River is a great way to spend Mother’s Day.
Since 1906, tourists by the thousands have enjoyed the scenic beauty of the world-famous Dalles of the St. Croix River by excursion boat.
Your licensed boat pilot and tour guide will point out the unique rock formations left behind as the glaciers retreated thousands of years ago. Among the most outstanding formations is the huge stone cross for which the St. Croix River was named. “St. Croix” means Holy Cross.
A trip on an authentic paddlewheel riverboat is a delightful way to spend the day with your mother. Upon boarding, all mothers will receive a flower (while supplies last) and mimosa to enjoy while taking in the beauty of the river. Our snack bar serves beer, wine, soda, lemonade, chips, candy, and sandwiches. Add a River Rock sandwich to your reservation.
