Boat tours though the "Everglades of Michigan"
Rated a "GEM" Attraction of Michigan" by AAA, we are Mid-Michigan's Ecotourism leader.
Our specialty is getting people away from it all through the Shiawassee Flats. Travel by boat through 18,000 acres of wetlands, rivers, creeks and bayous. We can accommodate 1-12 persons on our shallow draft, custom built boats through part of the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge and/or State Game Area. Licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard, inspected and insured, we offer "Soft Adventures" through one of the richest wildlife habitats in Michigan. From the migrations of waterfowl and raptors of early spring, lush foliage of summer, to the crimson colors and migrations of fall, you will have opportunities to spot Bald Eagles, beaver, deer, ducks, herons and shore birds. Trips are personally guided and narrated. Length of tours average 3-5 hours and are by reservation. Trips can be specifically tuned to individual groups, please call for details.
All tours are in open boats, with groups of (4) persons or less in our 16' modified flat bottom; more than (4) travel in our 22' Fish-Rite River Barge. Trips run with a 50% chance of rain or less, and cancellations and reschedules are at Captains Discretion. For the more adventurous, physically active we have "marathon trips" which can involve portaging, paddling, or dragging the boat through some of the tributaries we grew up exploring. Romantic getaway packages depart from the backyard of the Montague Inn in Saginaw. Load up your picnic basket and cooler with your favorites, cruise into the sunset, and return under the stars.
