Hello, my name is Mike and I am glad you're here. I love Mackinac Island and I want to share my love for and knowledge of Mackinac Island with you! Born and raised in Michigan, my family spent time each Summer on Mackinac Island. Since graduating from college and becoming a physical education teacher, I am now a Summer resident of Mackinac Island. It is my absolute pleasure to guide you through Mackinac Island for you to discover what makes this island such a unique and special place! Join me on a two-hour walking or biking tour, where my enthusiasm for and knowledge of Mackinac Island will combine to inform and captivate you along the way. My tours feature a uniquely local perspective on Mackinac Island history, culture, and legends, while showing you highlights and off the beaten path hidden gems. I will take you into the interior of the island to explore Mackinac Island State Park, Michigan's original national park. We will wander out of downtown and off the paved trails to the island's most special places, including Robinson's Folly, Arch Rock, Lover's Leap, Sugar Loaf, Eagle Point Cave, and Friendship Alter. While we explore, you will learn about the history and legends of these special places. In addition, my tours can be customized according to your interests. I love creating a memorable experience for everyone who takes part in my tours. Making memories is one of the reasons traveling is such a delight. It is the joy of visiting new places and experiencing different adventures. Let me help you create Mackinac Island memories. Ask questions, enjoy the scenery, and learn along the way!

Did you know that more than 80 percent of Mackinac Island is a state park for you to explore? You will not observe from a distance on this tour. We will wander out of downtown and off the paved trails to the island's interior. I will share with you a uniquely local perspective on Mackinac Island history, culture, and legends, while we explore highlights and off the beaten path hidden gems. In addition, my tours can be customized according to your interests. It's the unpaved trails that hold Mackinac Island's best kept secrets in trust for those who truly appreciate them. Ask questions, enjoy the scenery, and learn along the way.
Great tour! Michael is very knowledgeable and showed us a lot of great sites! Would definitely recommend!
I was so happy with our hiking tour with Michael. I would encourage you to sign up for one with him. He has a passion for sharing the history of Mackinaw Island. We learned a lot. The two hours we spent flew by. Michael made sure we were comfortable on where we were hiking. He also took our pictures at different sites. We would sign up for his hike again!
We had a great bike tour from Michael with our large group of adults and kids. We got to see much of the island that we wouldn't have discovered on our own. Everyone enjoyed it.
We LOVED our tour with Michael! He knew the island so well in addition to all the many surrounding areas and how they played into the the history and the tour overall. He was able to explain so much and move about on our time and abilities and what we wanted to see. This was my first time using tours by locals and I would say Michael set the bar VERY high for my future bookings!!!!
Awesome tour to see the highlights from up close. Michael was very friendly and answered all of our questions. Very knowledgeable about the history of the island and other fun facts about people on the island as well. He also helped with photos and was kind to pause on the steep climb up to Fort Holmes. Highly recommend this tour as a perfect way to spend two hours on this beautiful island with excellent company - especially if Sadie tags along ��
Enjoyable hike with Mike who had great history knowledge of the island. Saw places we wouldn't have seen if on our own. Mallarie was a nice addition to the hike! Would recommend the personal tour.

From there, we will hike to: - Crow's Nest - Robinson's Folly - Lover's Leap - Arch Rock - Sugar Loaf - Point Lookout - Fort Holmes - Skull Cave - Town Lookout/Anne's Tablet While we explore, visitors will learn about the history and legends of these special places.
