Daily Tours to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

Overview

With 35 Miles of coastline designated as Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Where should I go? What should I see? Our tour provides access to all of it. As well, you'll be accompanied by a guide well-versed in the area History, Flora & Fauna and geologic formation of the Great lakes and Dune formations. Sleeping Bear is fantastic in and of itself, but having a guide to explain everything from the Native Tribes that once roamed the area, to the geologic forces that leave us with the Great Lakes we know today, greatly enhances ours guests visit to Sleeping Bear. Oh, and guests rave about our catered lunch. It's delicious!

This was my favorite activity while visiting Traverse City on vacation. The tour guide, Matt, was amazing! Extremely knowledgeable, articulate, considerate and fun to spend the day with. If you want to learn history of the area along with geology, fishing, ship wrecks, and other fun facts without the worry of driving this is the trip for you. The dunes are gorgeous!

Matt provided my daughter and I with a wonderful tour of Sleeping Bear Dunes. He provided us with some great historical information and took us on a hike through the Empire Bluffs. We learned a great deal about the Manitou Passage, surrounding areas and visited several small towns in the area. Great lunch and snacks were provided. His knowledge is invaluable and he was a joy to tour with. Best tour guide ever!
