Self-Guided Attractions Tour
This adventurous tour is an “immersive experience” that takes you where no other island tour can! Great for bike enthusiasts of all ages, the attractions tour covers approximately 3 miles and can be completed at a leisurely pace within 2-1/2 hours, including time for photo opportunities and restroom breaks along the way. Once you’ve completed the loop, simply ride back to our bike shop, or feel free to continue exploring the island and historic downtown area.
We recommend our 4 hour half day rental which gives you plenty of time to complete the self-guided tour, stop and visit area attractions, and see all of Mackinac Island’s exciting points of interest.
