Grand Island Experience
Opened during the summer months, the Grand Island National Recreational Area offers a tourist ferry and tour bus for visitors. The ferry takes guests across the 1 mile journey from the dock on M-28 (past Holiday Inn Express when traveling West on 28), to William's Landing on Grand Island.
The Grand Island Bus Tour is a relaxing way to see a large portion of the Island without pedaling or hiking long distances. Frequent stops let guests stretch their legs and walk to nearby spots of historic importance. Here our guide is talking about some of the historical buildings on island.
