All day — Mackinac Island, where the horse is king and the streets have been car-free for over 100 years. It is a place where life moves at the clip-clop pace of a carriage, and on our morning Horse-Drawn Carriage Tour you’ll experience the history of centuries-old forts, ancient rock formations, ride alongside the island’s Victorian architecture and hear the fascinating stories behind them.
