We've had a busy winter, new additions to the 2019 season :)
Excited to announce the opening of our 3rd location, Downtown Rapid River!

Cherri Tallman has joined Blue-Mystique. She will be guiding tours out Traders' Point launch ever Thursday and Friday nights at 6 PM 

Come and try kayaking and stand up paddle boarding on the serene waters of the Manistique River with Blue Mystique.  Paddle to a beach in the harbor for a picnic, float to Manistique’s picturesque lighthouse, enjoy the wildlife. At the end of your float, fish off the dock, shop our shop, enjoy a glass of wine at the winery across the river, and have ice cream and a great meal right next door.

Blue Mystique is a Lake Michigan outfitter, a pioneer on the ‘coast less traveled’.  Blue Mystique offers a selection of kayaks, tandem kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, road bikes, and for more fun, bicycles built for two! They offer hourly or daily rentals. If you’re camping, renting a cabin, or want to explore outlying areas, you can haul to your location. Life jackets are provided at no charge in sizes for toddlers to adults. Want to borrow waterproof bag for a phone or wallet? Just ask, they’ve got you covered!  Enjoy a relaxed, affordable group event for all ages and experience levels. (We’ve seen dogs join in on the fun.)

The staff is trained for skills and safety by a highly experienced local ACA certified instructor each year and have up-to-date weather technology literally at their fingertips.


Gearing up for the 2019 season, owner Elizabeth Douglas is excited to say the seasonal operation starts on Memorial Day weekend. With anticipation of a long, hot Fall they extended their booking season. Check out the online booking calendar at www.blue-mystique.com or call 906-286-4535.

Check out the online reviews for Blue Mystique’s shop. You’ll find sunscreen, beach footwear, towels, & bags, beach toys, swimsuits, & rash guards for kids, custom-designed t-shirts, art, tasteful nautical gifts, and more.  Liz invites you to join the crew on the porch overlooking the river to relax and share stories. (There is always good music playing for an on the water state of mind.) Keep an eye out for events and live musicians.

Featured on TV10, Blue-Mystique’s ‘Listen to Your Art’ is an offering of art/science classes for all ages in all types of weather.  We can create inside, or out with a view of the water. Select one of our nature-inspired art/science classes developed for little hands and big hands. Relax and allow your imagination to soar.  Liz notes that Blue Mystique is great for families and groups because there are all sorts of activities going on, “Maybe Dad wants to take the kiddos on the water and Mom just wants to hang out and be creative.”

Full Moon and Hot Summer Night paddles are a must! We head out every Thursday and Friday evening at 6PM launching from Traders’ Point. Family coming to town? Book a private guided tour, available for groups of 4 or more.
