I went online to Sheplers home page looking for the lighthouse cruise information, but their web page has very little information available. But I called them and got the printed schedule mailed to me and I thought I would share it.

There are 2 crusies -East and West both depart out of Mackinaw city, MI.

East goes past Round island and the round island passage lights,Bois Blanc light,Poe reef light and fourteen foot shoal light and then past the Cheboygan crib light then back to Mackinaw city.

West goes past White shoal light, Grays reef light, Waugoshance light and past St Helena island/lighthouse and I would think you would get a nice view of the old Mackinaw lighthouse coming and going.

All cruises are $49.50 per person (children under 5 are free)
