See Duluth, Minnesota, from the air during a small-group helicopter tour that travels 30 miles (48 kilometers) along the north shore of Lake Superior. Settle into your comfortable window seat and enjoy spectacular birds-eye views as you fly over the Port Terminal, aerial lift bridge, and Canal Park waterways, and along the north shore, taking in views of the Glensheen Mansion, Hawks Ridge, and the Lester River.

Highway 61 runs the length of Lake Superior's North Shore, and without local knowledge, the best waterfalls and overlooks are easy to drive past. This GPS-enabled, app-based audio tour guides you as you drive, pinpointing sights such as Gooseberry Falls and the Glensheen mansion. Cell service drops out along much of this road, so the whole tour works offline too.

Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Duluth's Canal Park. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll dive into the city's past, like when Canal Park stood under 450 feet of water. Duluth is a one-of-a-kind, inland port city, which serves as a gateway to the north shore of Lake Superior. Its long history is reflected in Canal Park, a formerly run-down industrial zone and one of the city’s thriving centers for recreation today. You’ll find out how, when a local businessman rattled Duluth by moving his Pizza Roll factory to Ohio, his son would go on to play a role in Canal Park’s economic revival. I’ll tell you about the famous Glensheen murders that were made into a musical, and about fish that are almost as old as Duluth Itself. You’ll hear about Duluth’s shipping heritage, the founding and naming of the city, and the building of the Duluth Ship Canal. You’ll then head down South Lake Avenue to finish our tour at the Minnesota Slip Bridge.
