On this two-hour cruise, you’ll circle the perimeter of the lake, taking in up-close views of Wizard Island, Phantom Ship, and other natural formations. The boat tour offers spectacular views of the natural beauty of the lake and the sheer cliffs that were formed thousands of years ago when the volcano collapsed and Crater Lake was born. A ranger on board shares information about the lake’s history, geology, and culture.
