Okay, from the Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Inn with their extremely courteous staff, we got picked up by a FREE Shuttle, courtesy of Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry.
FERRY BOARDING
To the left is the building where you can exchange your online SheplersFerry tickets for the real ones.
There only was one thing that they ought to list on line: the FREE Shuttle from and to the hotel!
Such a great courtesy and important for knowing up front.
We did book us the Ferry/Carriage Tour Packages and I can only highly recommend that to anyone!
Since Pieter's heart cramps around my Mom's death in January, it would perhaps be too much for him to walk the island. But this was perfect!
We were so lucky with the sunny weather on June 3!
Blue sky as you can see.
We sat on the upper deck, once we did board.
Of course it is very windy on the open water but it was not cold.
On the way back we did go inside though.
This is Mackinac Bridge from Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry photo.
You can read more about Mackinac Bridge here as it is an enormous span of 26,372 feet or 8,038 meters. Just click on the pink hyperlinks for info.
See you on the other side, on Mackinac Island!

To book a tour is always fun, they know the great places to visit and it is very relaxed not to figure out everything yourself.

Ferry ride to the island and carriage ride there! Sounds lot of fun! I'd get a carriage ride, too, if I go there. That's a great way to do sightseeing. Looks like it was a very nice sunny day. The ferry ride must have been very pleasant on the upper deck!
