10 Self-Guided Tours & Rentals in Michigan That You Shouldn't Miss

June 12, 2021 Vergie Nakamoto

Think you need an ocean for a beach? Think again. There are miles and miles of sandy lakefront beaches in Michigan (thanks to the four Great Lakes that border it). The west coast of Michigan has especially nice beaches—try a rental in Muskegon, Grand Haven or Saugatuck. You won’t need a car when visiting Mackinac Island. In fact, they’re not allowed—this lovely Victorian resort town is pedestrian-only.

Our group does a water adventure every Labor Day and this has to be one of our best experiences. The owner was very attentive to our needs and was able to adjust our schedule because of the weather. The kayaks, the canoe and the life preservers were all very clean and well taken care of. The river ran beautifully and the nature was amazing. The fact that we didn't have to get on a bus was a bonus. This outfitter's moves your car to the exit site, talk about service! If you want a river experience look no further, our only regret is that we didn't stay on the river longer.

We kayaked from Boardman Lake, down Boardman River out to the Bay. It was a wonderful trip! The fall color was beautiful and we saw salmon jumping in the stream. A perfect afternoon!

Great way to learn about Fort Lauderdale. I live here but had a friend visiting and it was fun for both of us. This would be great for a group of friends, coworkers, or bachelorette party. The remote adventure coach, Katie, was great- helpful when needed!!
