Wildlife Eco-Tours
Mississippi Explorer Cruises offers unique Wildlife Eco-Tours on the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife & Fish Refuge. Fully licensed and inspected by the United States Coast Guard, our riverboats are specially designed, which enable them to safely navigate the shallow Mississippi backwaters. These scenic backwaters are untouchable by other local vessels restricted to the main channel of the Mississippi River.
Our Eco-Tours are about connecting people with nature and conservation, specifically the ecosystem of the Upper Mississippi River and it's tributaries. Professionally guided by qualified experts and U.S.C.G. licensed captains, our tours are educational as well as a great way to view the inner workings and tranquility of the longest river in North America.
In addition to our famous Wildlife Eco-Tours, we have Bird & Eagle Watching Tours, Lotus & Lily Tours, Fall Foliage Cruises, Music on the River Cruises, and our port-to-port Expedition Cruises. For more information about these cruises, please call (877) 647-7397 or visit us online at

Group Tours & Private Charters
River cruises range in length from 1.5 hours up to all day, depending on your bus group’s interests and we are 100% sure that you will have a great time. Here is one of our many great customer reviews:
"The Mississippi Explorer cruise was one of the best river cruises I have ever experienced with a group. The outgoing and friendly crew were the best. Their knowledge of the river, the habitat and the birds and animals that live there, was second to no one! It was all presented in a fun, down-home style. In fact, it was like spending the day with your family!!! Mississippi Explorer Cruises has my highest recommendation and I will definitely spend some enjoyable time with them again in the future. Fabulous!! Thanks again Captain Eric for a great day. The cruise was the highlight of the Mystery Trip.”
