Mackinaw City Highlights Tour

This tour takes approximately 1. 5 hours, depending on admission to various attractions. Walk along a beach sidewalk where you can view the Mackinac Bridge, visit Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse*, and hear the stories of those who worked as a marine reporter, a lightkeeper, or drove a water wagon through the village streets. The Straits of Mackinac has documented evidence of about 200 shipwrecks beneath its icy waves, and local divers have discovered 48 of them. I have actually visited many of these wrecks and will tell the stories of these ships' demise in shrieking winds, foggy calms, and frozen darkness. Have your picture taken next to a 2, 000-pound iron stock anchor once used by a sailing schooner of the 1800s, since recovered by divers from the Straits. Visit Colonial Michilimackinac* and hear local lore of a lifestyle that even today is very different from most other hometowns. See the Icebreaker Mackinaw Maritime Museum*, newly berthed here. *Separate entrance or admission price.
