Enjoy the narrated tour through downtown to Surrey Hills where you will disembark the two horse hitch to enjoy the carriage museum and or Wings of Mackinac Butterfly Conservatory.

Then it is onto a three hitch carriage (you’ll need one more horsepower…) and off to Arch Rock and through the Boreal forest with stops at Fort Mackinac and Grand Hotel.

So, climb aboard, sit back and relax and just enjoy the ride. Tours depart regularly from the office on Main Street next to the Mackinac Island Tourism Bureau.

Our price is $7.00 for everyone. We do special rates for large school groups. We discourage age 6 and under to enter. Pets are welcome. Half price for senior citizens. Military are totally free.

Fort Mackinac

 
While on Mackinac Island take some time to explore the island’s rich historical heritage. Enjoy live re-enactments of the soldier’s lives at Fort Mackinac, perched high on a bluff overlooking the Straits of Mackinac and the Mackinac Bridge. Step inside the buildings of Historic Downtown Mackinac and experience a time that isn’t so long gone, at least not on Mackinac Island.

Smell hearty stew cooking over an open hearth; run your hands over wool strands on a spinning wheel; hear the clanging of a blacksmith’s hammer as steel meets steel, and then try it yourself. Take time to smell the herb garden; ask questions; see original 18th-century French-Canadian architecture; hear the story of an accidental shooting that lead to a groundbreaking medical discovery. It all happened here—in these actual buildings. Make your story as unique as these buildings and the many experiences within them.

Fort Mackinac is open for the 2015 season from May 4 to October 28.
