Mackinac Island is pronounced MACK-i-naw. The name comes from the Ojibwe word "Michilimackinac" and the French spelling with a "c" at the end is pronounced as "aw," not as a hard "k" sound. PLEASE LEARN HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT BEFORE ARRIVING.

To get to Mackinac Island, most people take a ferry from Mackinaw City or St. Ignace. Visitors can also fly into Pellston International Airport (PLN) and take a shuttle to the mainland, or take a private boat to the island's marina. Once on the island, there are no cars, so visitors get around by bicycle, foot, or horse-drawn carriage.

It's easier than you think to get to Mackinac Island - just board the ferry and you're on your way. Once on the island, you may take a taxi, ride on the Mackinac Island Carriage Tours shuttle servicing Mission Point, or enjoy the short 15-minute walk. The resort is situated on the east end of the Mission District. Please keep in mind that the Taxi Shuttle Service is $9.00 per adult and drivers can only accept cash; the horses take a break from 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm and Shuttle Service is not available during this time. Shuttle pricing may change at the discretion of Mackinac Island Carriage Tours. PLEASE CLICK MAP BELOW TO SEE LOCATIONS AND INFO.
