Manitou Island Transit offers a unique way to experience the beauty of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore — our Shoreline Cruise. You depart at 6:30 PM from historic Leland harbor upon our large and comfortable vessel, the Mishe-Mokwa. As the sun slowly sinks behind the Manitou Islands, we cruise along the Manitou Passage through scenic Good Harbor Bay, passing near such landmarks as Pyramid Point and the North Manitou Shoal Light. There is a cash bar available aboard and though the cruise is open to the public, we can also arrange custom trips for groups. We’ll have you back in Leland with plenty of time for a dinner at one of the area’s fine restaurants.
