Enjoy history and charm on your narrated carriage tour as you see the Surrey Museum, Arch Rock, Fort Mackinac Avenue of Flags and more. Following the carriage tour, lunch is included at the legendary Grand Hotel. The Grand has been welcoming guests since 1887, and even today continues to offer its visitors a memorable experience of a bygone era full of old-world hospitality and splendor. Witness stunning views of the Straits of Mackinac that will forever be etched in your mind from the world's longest porch.

Your destination is the Elk Antler Log Cabin, where before your eyes on 100-year-old wood cook stoves, a gourmet dinner is prepared and served.
