A visit to Mackinac Island is like stepping into a time machine and going back to the Victorian era. Since Mackinac is an island there are only two ways to get there – by boat or by air. Travelers won’t hear the roar of car engines or bus horns honking as visitors to Mackinac Island are transported in horse-drawn carriages. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the island. Enjoy the smog free air and the slow, easy lifestyle even if it is for only a day or two. A short visit to the Soo Locks will bring the visit to this Victorian community up to date with a time tested method of transportation on Lake Superior.
