May 11 - July 30

Our guides move you off the busy trails, immersing you in nature.

  • Our group of seniors from Ohio absolutely loved our full afternoon tour provided by Julie. She was so full of love for the surrounding wildlife and nature that it was contagious. We all wanted to be like Julie! Thank you for making our tour time through Sleeping Bear Park so fun and informative!

  • Moved at the right pace for me, providing time to appreciate and soak up the stillness and beauty; Don't miss the Wilderness Hike or Dune Hike. Seeing where the river joins the lake with almost no other people was so memorable. Being able to visit parts of the Park I never would have known about was terrific. You helped me create memories.

  • Went on the Piping Plover tour. It was amazing. The Piping Plovers did not disappoint. They are so darned cute. Such an amazing return from a dozen breeding pairs. Highly recommend Julie as a guide, knowledgeable & very prepared.

  • The Sleeping Bear Tour Co guide was very flexible and knew the area well, all contributing to maximizing our time in this beautiful region and getting great photos. We had a great three days!
