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!

The Michigan Lake overview, the shipwreck, and view of the lighthouse with Matt’s bird scope. We also enjoyed the town of Glen Haven and history of coast guard. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Sleeping Bear Dunes and Michigan history and geology.

This was probably the best trip we've ever been on for any vacation. You will definitely get your money's worth! Matt was incredible and the day we went we actually had a small group, in fact just one other person and she too was amazing. It was an incredible day for weather as well. Matt took us to the nicest spots, he made us feel like family and when we come back to Traverse City, we would do this tour again. Thank you so much, Up North Tours!
