This was very interesting. We learned a lot about the bridge from how long it is, how deep & how long it took to build and how many workers. We also learned about things around the city and island

My husband and I took the sunset cruise and it was exactly what I was looking for. We got to see a beautiful sunset as we went under the bridge and listened to history and facts about the bridge and mackinac island. They offer wine/beer to have on the trip. The staff was wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable and the entire experience was very positive.
