Kelleys Island Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

It was great experience will strongly recommend she knows in and out of island very detailed 👍 Highly recommend.

We had the pleasure of experiencing both the Hike and Bike tour as well as the Kayak Treasure Tour. The bike tour was an opportunity to learn about the island's history, inhabitants (past and present), and the flora and fauna. Our guide, Dawn, was incredibly knowledgeable about the development of the island and everything from limestone and indigenous plants, to the businesses and schools on the island. Her enthusiasm for fun facts about the island is evident and she is a treasure trove of information. The hike/bike was appropriate for all participants on our tour, from pre-teens to middle-agers, and an effective means of transportation around the island to see the sights. The kayak tour was also excellent. After a quick tutorial on proper kayaking, we visited multiple beaches on the island and saw fossils, marshland fish and local birds (who knew bald eagles nested on the island!) Dawn also knew the best places to eat and relax on the island after the tours. Both Dawn and the tours are highly recommended!

Great team of employees that are knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely make my next purchase from this location.

Dawn is The Best. She knows everything about Kelleys island and how to get to all the secret paths. Can't wait to bring the whole family and go again!!

Dawn was amazing and fun and knowledgeable. Pro tip: if you don’t see a time that works for you on the website, call!). We highly recommend this tour!

The knowledge the tour guide had of the island was amazing and the pace wasn't too fast for us. It was a gorgeous day and our tour guide was flexible with timing, pacing, and allowing us extra time to stay at locations we wanted a little more time at. Highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to learn more about the history, geology, and beauty of Kelleys Island!

We all enjoyed our trail ride over rocky and narrow trails, foraging the local flora, all while learning about the uniqueness of the island. Our tour guide was awesome and friendly too!

The guide was awesome and we loved the trail along with the history about the island. The bikes were comfortable.

The guide was very informative and patient as we haven't been on bikes in quite sometime! She answered all questions even if it didn't pertain to our bike tour...She was wonderful!!

Highly recommend! Some friends and I went to Kelly's Island for a couple days and did the Hike/Bike Tour with Dawn from Kellys Island Adventours. We also did the Kayak Treasure Tour and I would recommend both. Dawn is extremely knowledgeable about the Island, the Geography, the Geology, the plants, the birds, the water, the history ...... I could go on and on. She is very personable went out of her way to provide a fun time for all of us. We had a blast and would definitely do both tours again. We had varying levels of bike riding skills in our group and Dawn geared our trip to that. We were on roads and trails, but nothing too strenuous. We also stopped fairly often to hear about the area we were in. The bikes are all-terrain bikes that were surprisingly easy to ride. They had plenty of gears to make it easy wherever we went. We were very happy with our overall experience.

Dawn was an amazing host/tour guide. She was very accommodating with our schedule and took us on amazing bike/hike tour. She was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. On the tour, she took us to the most beautiful and interesting locations on the island. I would recommend her tours to anyone. Thanks for a great time Dawn! My wife and I really enjoyed our tour.

My wife and I were wanting to explore Kelly Island. We thought a tour would be our best way to do so. We booked a spring hike and bike tour with Dawn. Dawn is a great tour guide with a lot of local history knowledge. Dawn was also very easy to get in touch with for any scheduling needs. Would recommend to a friend. Thank you Dawn for a lovely time.

Dawn was a great guide, she gave us great history of the island. She knows her stuff. Hike/bike was great she met us downtown with the bikes, thank you, fit us well for bikes and helmets. I would suggest this tour , 5 star
