Looking for the ultimate way to soak in the beauty of the Great Lake State? There’s no better way than cruising one of the Great Lakes themselves! Join us for a delightful day trip to the charming town of Saugatuck and a scenic, narrated cruise on the sparkling waters of Lake Michigan aboard the Star of Saugatuck – an authentic, old-fashioned sternwheeler paddleboat!
The adventure begins as you hop aboard and drift along the peaceful Kalamazoo River, gliding past cozy cottages, grand lakefront homes, and untouched natural beauty. With the paddlewheels gently churning and the breeze in your hair, you’ll cruise into Lake Kalamazoo, catch postcard-perfect views of Saugatuck, and—weather permitting—venture into the majestic open waters of Lake Michigan!
Beyond the cruise, you’ll have time to explore Saugatuck’s delightful downtown—think boutique shops, cozy cafés, and sweet treats—Then we’ll head back to Grand Rapids for a great week.
There are many small shops with ice cream, treats and beverages.
