We took the last cruise of the day the final weekend of the season. The fall colors and the sunset were breathtaking. The staff and crew were friendly. The lake was beautiful and the waters clear and deep. What an experience !! A must see. You cannot see the beauty from the land, you must take the cruise. Their website was really easy to use.
The boats were exactly on time! They did not mess around. They were efficient, quick and did their job. No fuss, no muss!
From reservations to the boat ride everything was done professionally. Free parking, free shuttle service and speedy service. They know what they are doing!IMHO Mackinaw Island is one big tourist trap. Of course my wife, the shopper, disagrees but she's not writing the review!
The lighthouse is an excellent example of a Great Lakes lighthouse. This one is easy to get to and has an interesting history. Photographers will like the setting along the bridge.The sunset under the bridge is beautiful. Also a good location for picnicking next to the water.
We enjoyed this line very much. Try and go to 9:00, 9:30 or 10:00 as they go under the bridge and talk about it for the same price as going at other times. It was pretty cool. A very fast well organized cruise line.
We usually use Star just because it's closer to our hotel in the city. They are nice too but Sheplers seemed extra nice & extra helpful. I won 2 tickets earlier in the year. The grand entrance announcing you are going to the island is nice. The area is very inviting & clean. Would use again.
very well planned trip, enjoyed very much. the narration was outstanding on the history and important details.
Loved the trip over to the island with a brief side trip under the bridge. The boat moves fast enough to avoid nausea in rough waters. On time and pleasant experience.
Chose this option because it was fast and offered more frequent trips and later return trips from the Island back to the mainland.
This is a great trip had a great guide. They made sure that everyone on the boat got a great view of the lighthouses so we could get great pictures. We took the five hour tour and loved it. We were given a lunch and they sold additional snacks it you wanted something else. We will take another of their Lighthouse cruise.
