Hi Jennifer, Thanks for getting in touch! Yes, you can rent a kayak, and you are free to choose any time duration and destination that you would like through our custom and private options. This usually works best for more experienced paddlers, and your group launches and lands separately from our other groups. Our 2-hour predefined tours like the Sunrise Cruise, Sunset Cruise, and the Arch Rock Excursion, work great for our beginning paddlers, but experienced folks looking to join a short group tour love them too. For safety purposes, we do send a guide out with every group, and our guides can also share stories about the local landscape and history if you like. You can reserve on our website, or over the phone. Here is our website: MackinacKayak . com Thanks again!

Hi Carrie, Thanks for getting in touch and for the interest in our tours! This year, we are very carefully managing group sizes, and so we are requiring all customers to make reservations in advance. You can reserve on our website, or over the phone. Here is our website: MackinacKayak . com Thanks and we hope to see you soon!

Thank you I really appreciate your answer but I pushed the wrong button, I wanted to make a very good vote. I’m sorry I put “-1”. Can I change my vote?

40 per hour/per person

Hi Carl, Thanks for getting in touch! Yes, you can rent a kayak at our hourly rate, and you are free to choose any time duration and destination that you would like. You are not required to sign up for one of our predefined tours. For safety purposes, we do send a guide out with every rental, and our guides can also share stories about the local landscape and history. Thanks!

Hi, We have a few different models of single and tandem kayaks and standup paddleboards, but we do not have any pedal kayaks at this time. Thanks!

We have tandem (2-person) kayaks, which we find to be much more stable than canoes, especially for beginners. They are capable of taking 2 people up to a total combined weight limit of 650 lbs. Thanks!

Yes, we do offer kayaking in October. Our actual season length is weather dependent, and this can vary greatly from season to season, but typically we give tours all through October. Thanks!

Yes, you can bring your dog on our tours, with a few requirements: 1. We require that you bring a doggie lifejacket which fits your dog. 2. The combined weight of you plus your dog must stay within the weight limits of our boats (600 max for the Ultimate 15 FX). Thanks!

The short answer is yes, but we would need to discuss a few particular requirements that we have about the setup of your boat and gear. Please give us a call at 231-715-2925
