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!

My friend and I had a wonderful time on our Tour to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We did a hike at Empire Bluffs, went to the dunes, enjoyed spectacular views of the surrounding areas. Enjoyed a delicious lunch and learned a lot of the history, ecology, and geology of the different locations we went to. Matt was a very good guide. He was very knowledgeable and also had a great sense of humor. He also made sure that we got to view a ship wreck and get some great products at Cherry Republic in Grand Arbor. The cherry pie was the best I have ever eaten. I encourage anyone thinking of taking this tour to do so. You won't be disappointed.

Beautiful September day at Sleeping Bear Dunes. The views are breathtaking. The hike to Empire Bluff was relaxing and not hard at all. Maybe 2 small inclines but the rest was easy. Matt was our guide and he is a walking encyclopedia of the area. He is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot from him. We had a va nice lunch by Lake Michigan and our final stop was at Glen Arbor. Very picturesque town. Must do tour to learn about the area and see every beautiful spot! 100% recommend!!
