We had a great time on the Mackinac bridge history tour. Lots of history of the area and Mackinac Island. and of course going under the bridge was really cool.

Really enjoyed this Cruise on the ugly Anne. Very friendly staff. Made you feel like a welcome guest. The narration was interesting and the ride was smooth. Beautiful views of the bridge. Highly recommend this, well worth the cost. They do offer a v Cruz and a Sunset Cruise. The times for the Sunset Cruise are posted at the ticket booth.
