2 Best Sights in Michigan, USA

Designed for thrill seekers and nature buffs alike, the dune rides are a popular activity and many claim your visit is not complete until you have viewed the region from a towering sand dune. Included in a 40-minute ride along rolling dunes on Lake Michigan, seated in a 20-passenger customized schooner, are historical facts about the region. To protect yourself from flying sand, be sure to wear closed-toe shoes and sunglasses. Plenty of stops along the way provide photo opportunities.

A replica of the tall ships that once traveled along Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay during the 1800s, Schooner Manitou is 114 feet tall and one of the largest tall ships currently operating on the Great Lakes. Activities on the 59-passenger ship include daily two-hour sails (at noon, and in the afternoon and evening) and a unique, floating, bed-and-breakfast concept with room for 24 guests (in 12 cabins) and including a full breakfast. The evening sail includes a picnic dinner. During September, multiday windjammer sails are offered.
