Things to do while visiting MACKINAC ISLAND, Michigan (Know before you go!)

[@lucianestridge7964]

Thank you for the awesome video tour. Looks like a great place to take my drone.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Beautiful area! Keep an eye on changing drone laws.

[@lucianestridge7964]

@1StrangeAdventure will do thanks. I saw the airport so it's possible that they will not be allowed there. We travel the world but the most beautiful places are right here in the United States.

[@pibble3962]

Thank you for the great ideas!

[@jackpalma3590]

Thank you for the Great video. We live here in Michigan and we're up at the island last year. Had some great memories from our visit and our stay on the island from about 10 years ago. We stayed with my parents at the Grand Hotel. We were lucky we stayed in the President's suite for a couple of nights. What great memories of that stay. Was my parents last trip they took anywhere.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Wow- to stay in the presidential suite must have been amazing. It sounds like you all made lifelong, beautiful memories together and that’s what matters. We appreciate you sharing part of your story with us! 💚

[@shannacraft4099]

🌸 Beautiful!!! Thanks for showing me around!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Anytime! ☺️

Every time I see a video of Mackinac Island I want to be there. It is definitely on my list. Thanks for sharing that wonderful place. Always good to see your little family. Stay safe and carry on….

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thank you so much! We absolutely love this island and can’t wait to go back at some point.

[@rodneyroberts1033]

What a beautiful island!❤️

[@1StrangeAdventure]

So beautiful! Can’t wait to go back!

[@NursingOurTravelBug]

Hey Nick. I see you ✌🏻 I love the idea of the hop on/hop off carriage ride. Great tip! That fort is right up our alley. We will definitely have to stop when we visit. Nick & Makayla look like they really enjoyed it, too. The Grand Hotel is insanely beautiful. I wonder how much it costs to spend a night there especially with that $75/person buffet price… 😳 What a fun day! Love it.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

They had a great time 😊 Nick said he wants a house on the island 🫣 I don’t know if I want to know what a room is for the night 😳😬

[@jasonbailey5495]

I like the look of the haversack that y'all keep passing around, where did you find it? Fantastic tour of the island. I always wondered about the livestock.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Hey Jason, the bags have been at a few different stores up here in the UP. They come in a bunch of different shapes/sizes. Unfortunately, they do not have a name but the logo is a mountain range with three trees… the one in this video we purchased from the souvenir store at Castle Rock(In St. Ignace). Then we purchased a book bag style at the souvenir shop after getting off the ferry from the island. I looked online and the only store I can find them at is a a wholesale website. Hopefully you can find one near you 🤞🏻

[@ThinBlueLaneRVLife]

Hello, my friends. We are here to see your latest creation! :) I have never heard of this island. Your son is totally photobombing at 04:53

[@1StrangeAdventure]

He totally is. I was laughing as I was editing this one.

[@njstan8188]

E bikes at the island is like even more accidents waiting to happen. We live 20 miles away, visit often

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Agreed!

[@Merica_dadgarage]

Where did you guys camp while you were up there? We were just up at Mackinaw Mill Creek a few weeks ago:)

[@1StrangeAdventure]

We stayed at the St. Ignace KOA. ☺️

[@tinastheoutsider]

One day I'll get there in person

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Hope you are able to. It’s beautiful!

[@skeim5620]

Great video,would you buy full body paint if you we’re buying new

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Absolutely!!! Thanks for watching!

Thanks

[@steamboatkid]

You got to elkhart fast. Lol

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Warp speed! LOL 🚀 Great meeting you!

[@StuartRogoff-o4o]

Calling it ‘an amusement park’ is deeply offensive and rude. Nothing in this video is new and different from the hundreds of others (most much better).

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks for the feedback. Have a wonderful day as well!

[@StuartRogoff-o4o]

@@1StrangeAdventure If you go back to the Island, you should prearrange visits with Island leaders - the mayor - key business owners/families, special annual events like the sailboat regattas, Lilac festival, Christmas celebration on Main Street, the five other main hotels on the island - including Mission Point with a doggie daycare, Old Point Lighthouse, ballroom dancing at the Grand, and the famous filming of ‘Somewhere in Time”. And the Lakeside day spa at Mission Point. Food is about more than just fudge. Lake Superior Whitefish is a regional delicacy. Finally, the ‘Secret Garden’ is not that kind of secret; it has nothing to do with its well known location- but rather the magical beauty of the garden.

I would think that horses would be wearing diapers

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Adds to the authenticity to have horse dung lying around 😜
