Discover the enchanting world of Lake Michigan and Lake Geneva. Spend a day on Mackinac Island, cruise with the world famous "mail-jumpers" of Lake Geneva, go dune-riding through the Saugatuck dunes, ride a horse-drawn carriage to an Elk preserve--hailed as a "real-life fairy tale" and a "Top 10" must-do event!

We’ll depart Little Rock overnighting along the way to our first lake destination—Wisconsin’s own Lake Geneva—a popular vacation spot of the rich and famous of Chicago. We’ll stay lakefront at our lakeview hotel in the middle of everything—where you will have time to explore the area on your own. Included in our two night stay is a fun, fully narrated lake cruise of Lake Geneva’s most famous estates and the families who built them – names you’ll recognize like Wrigley and Maytag- while participating in what the lake’s famous for-it’s mail jumpers…. one of America’s most unique traditions! Join the daring mail jumpers on this exciting cruise as they leap from the boat to deliver mail to 75 lakeside residents – without waiting for it to stop. You’ll also have time on your own to explore the area and do what you want to do, whether it’s posh pampering at one of the acclaimed spas, strolling the shore path, or experiencing the distinctive shops and restaurants. Whatever your choices, Lake Geneva promises lifetime memories.

Then our unforgettable adventure continues as we hug the stunning coastline of Lake Michigan—spending the next two nights in a charming coastal town renowned for its world-class fishing and picturesque riverwalk. We'll stop along the way in Holland Michigan for a ride on the Saugatuck Dunes! Imagine the excitement of climbing aboard a rugged, open-air buggy, specially designed to navigate the towering sand dunes. As you embark on this adventure- prepare yourself for a heart-pounding experience filled with twists, turns, and downhill rushes that will make your adrenaline surge. The professional driver/guide adds an extra layer of excitement, steering you through the undulating landscape while sharing intriguing insights about the local environment and history. The fun continues in nearby Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, where you'll be treated to spectacular views of Glen Lake, rolling sand dunes, and the majestic grand dunes, all set against the shimmering backdrop of Lake Michigan. Words like stunning, magnificent, breathtaking, amazing, and surreal barely do justice to this incredible area. The Lake Michigan Overlook is the crown jewel of our Scenic Drive, offering a panorama of blues stretching from shore to horizon, glorious sunsets, and brilliant night skies. It is no wonder Good Morning America’s viewers voted Sleeping Bear Dunes "The Most Beautiful Place in America."

For the next leg of our journey, we'll dive into the enchanting world of Northern Michigan's Rocky Mountain Elk with an acclaimed Elk Viewing Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride, Gourmet Dinner & Wine Tasting Event. This experience, hailed as a "real-life fairy tale" by USA Today and Fox News Online, has earned a spot in their "Top 10" events. Embark on a magical journey through the woods, led by massive draft horses, to our resort's Elk Preserve. Witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat—a sight that promises to leave you in awe. Afterward, indulge in a five-course gourmet dinner and wine-tasting event. The cozy cabin exudes warmth, and the aroma of delicious cuisine fills the air. Your hosts will entertain you with captivating stories as you savor an exquisite menu prepared on 125-year-old wood cook stoves.

The next day, we're off to the enchanting Mackinac Island! We'll take a ferry to this timeless gem, where horse-drawn carriages, historic architecture, and captivating attractions await. Explore the island's natural beauty at your own pace, and enjoy an included horse-drawn carriage ride to discover all its wonders. Mackinac Island consistently ranks among the top destinations in the U.S., and it's easy to see why.
