Mackinac Island by Carriage Vacation
Mackinac Island Carriage Tours
There's no better way to see the unique and interesting scenery of Mackinac Island than by horse-drawn carriage.
A horse-drawn carriage ride through the picturesque Mackinac Island, Michigan is the perfect way to start your Mackinac Island vacation. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the island so a horse drawn carriage is the way to go if you want to get a real feel for the whole island without spending half the day walking.
You'll start out the day at the Surrey Hills Carriage Museum where you can learn all about the history of the carriage and see many interesting examples of antiques. Then, you'll board your carriage where you will see attractions such as Arch Rock and the Avenue of the Flags in front of Fort Mackinac.
