Mackinac Island - The Boat Trip

You have to take a boat or a plane to Mackinac Island.  No motor vehicles are allowed, so you either rent a bike ( for 8 bucks an hour) , walk, take a carriage ride for a 50 buck tour , or if you are us, you take your own bike paying just 8 extra dollars for the ferry to carry your bike.  The cost of the ferry ride- 22 bucks a person. There are several ferry lines to choose from; and they all cost the same, so  we choose the hydro jet seeing "it high tails you to the island".  It was a swift ride.  Sadly, the day we went was quite overcast and very windy.

We took a "special" ferry ride that went out underneath the Mackinac Bridge before heading to the island.
