  • Group of people posing on a sandy cliff with the blue water of Lake Michigan in the background under a clear blue sky.

    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!

  • Person with a backpack standing in a grassy forest clearing near a misty body of water, surrounded by trees and fallen branches.

    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.

  • Person walking on a sandy beach path with green grass, carrying a yellow backpack, towards the blue waters of Lake Michigan under a clear blue sky.

    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.

  • Bobcat standing in tall grass, looking back.

    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!
