Group Transportation MSP Airport to BWCA
Landing with a crew at MSP and trying to get north with everyone (and everything) is where trips get complicated—unless you book one coordinated private ride. Citywide specializes in Group Transportation MSP Airport to Ely and Group Transportation MSP Airport to BWCA, plus Group Transportation Minneapolis Airport to Northern Tier pickup areas for crews heading straight to base, outfitter, cabin, or entry point. If your plan is Minneapolis to Ely, MN, we keep your group together with space for packs and barrels; if your plan is MSP to Northern Tier MN, we build the route around your arrival terminal and timing. This is the easiest way to start an Ely Canoe Group Airport Ride, line up a Northern Tier Scout Group Ride from MSP, reserve a Private Group Van to Ely from MSP, and handle Large Group Airport Transportation to the Boundary Waters without splitting into multiple vehicles.

Group & Gear MSP Airport to Ely, BWCA & Northern Tier Private Ride Service
If you’re arriving at MSP with a crew, Citywide keeps everyone together from the terminal all the way north—Ely, the BWCA, and Northern Tier pickup areas.
Built for Groups, Canoes & Gear
When your crew lands at MSP, the goal is simple: one plan, one pickup, and one vehicle that fits the group and the loadout. Citywide makes Group Transportation MSP Airport to Ely easy for cabin groups and outfitters, and we also handle Group Transportation MSP Airport to BWCA entry areas when you’re going straight to the woods. For councils and crews, Group Transportation Minneapolis Airport to Northern Tier is scheduled around your flight so your team can focus on the trek—not on logistics. If you’re heading Minneapolis to Ely, MN with food packs and personal bags, we build your pickup window and loading time into the plan.
This service is built for trips that start with a big arrival day: an Ely Canoe Group Airport Ride with canoes, barrels, and packs, or a Northern Tier Scout Group Ride from MSP with a full crew and duffels. In both cases, a Private Group Van to Ely from MSP keeps your group together, and it’s the most straightforward way to book Large Group Airport Transportation to the Boundary Waters without splitting into multiple cars. If your itinerary includes a base transition, we also coordinate MSP to Northern Tier MN routing so you can get moving quickly after baggage claim.
One Vehicle for Your Whole Ely/BWCA Group
Instead of renting multiple vehicles at the airport or trying to line up separate rides, Citywide keeps your trip organized from the start. Your crew meets the driver, loads once, and heads north in a single private vehicle—ideal for Group Transportation MSP Airport to Ely and Group Transportation MSP Airport to BWCA when everyone needs to arrive together. For summer programs and large arrivals, Group Transportation Minneapolis Airport to Northern Tier is one of the most common requests we receive, especially when scouts and leaders want to stay on the same schedule from the moment they land.
Our large-van option is popular because it balances seating and gear space for real groups—canoe crews, families, and full teams. It’s a reliable way to set up an Ely Canoe Group Airport Ride, and it’s also the cleanest solution for a Northern Tier Scout Group Ride from MSP when you want one departure time and one arrival. If you’re traveling Minneapolis to Ely, MN with extra packs, barrels, and coolers, we plan for loading time so the day stays smooth. And if your destination is farther past Ely, we can route MSP to Northern Tier MN pickups that match your base or outfitter plan.
Need a return plan after the trip too? Many groups book round-trip so the same team that gets you north also handles the ride back. That’s where Ely BWCA Gear Transport to MSP matters—your gear gets back to the terminal in one coordinated loadout. We commonly schedule Ely BWCA Gear Transport to MSP on the back end of the trip, while still building your inbound plan around a Private Group Van to Ely from MSP at arrival.
Why Groups Trust Citywide for MSP to Ely/BWCA/Northern Tier
Group travel works best when there’s one point of contact, one clear plan, and one dependable pickup.

Whether it’s Large Group Airport Transportation to the Boundary Waters right after you land or a direct run for MSP to Northern Tier MN, we focus on making the airport-to-northbound leg feel simple. That’s exactly why crews rely on us for Group Transportation MSP Airport to Ely and for Group Transportation MSP Airport to BWCA entry areas that require extra planning.
From scout crews to canoe groups and multi-family cabin trips, we help you start the adventure with less friction. Your driver meets you at the airport, your group stays together, and your gear stays with you—whether the plan is Minneapolis to Ely, MN, a direct Private Group Van to Ely from MSP, or a timed arrival for a Northern Tier Scout Group Ride from MSP. And when your trip is over, we can reverse the plan with Ely BWCA Gear Transport to MSP so your crew and equipment make it back to the terminal without last-minute scrambling.
Group & Gear Ely/BWCA to MSP – Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can you take from Ely/BWCA to MSP in one vehicle?
Our larger vans can be booked for up to 15 passengers, but most groups book them for fewer riders so there is plenty of room for luggage and gear. Tell us your group size and gear list and we will recommend the best setup.
Can you transport canoes and large amounts of gear?
Yes. We regularly move canoe crews and BWCA adventure groups with canoes, paddles, packs, food barrels, and coolers. Let us know exactly what you are bringing so we can plan the right vehicle and loading space.
Do you pick up at Northern Tier and other BWCA outfitters?
Yes. We can pick up at Northern Tier, Ely-area outfitters, Lake Vermilion resorts, and many BWCA entry points or landing locations. Just share your exact pickup point when requesting a quote.
Is pricing per person or per vehicle for group trips?
Pricing is per ride, not per person. Ely is usually Zone 41, while deeper BWCA and Northern Tier trips are Zone 45. Your quote will clearly show the flat rate for the entire group.
How far in advance should we book our Ely/BWCA to MSP group ride?
For summer and peak BWCA seasons, we recommend booking as early as possible—especially for large scout crews and weekend travel. Contact us with your trip dates and we will help you secure a vehicle and time that match your schedule.
If you have special requests—multiple pickup locations at MSP, extra time for loading, or coordinating multiple flight arrivals—just ask. We routinely schedule Group Transportation MSP Airport to Ely, Group Transportation MSP Airport to BWCA, and Group Transportation Minneapolis Airport to Northern Tier for larger parties, and we can also plan the return leg with Ely BWCA Gear Transport to MSP after the trip. If your group is going Minneapolis to Ely, MN or onward for MSP to Northern Tier MN, we’ll help you lock in the cleanest plan for your crew.
