Mishe-Mokwa

The Manitou Island Transit in Leland features its popular shoreline cruise via the Mishe-Mokwa ferry every evening depending on weather conditions. The 1.5 hour long cruise departs at 6:30 p.m. from Leland Harbor and takes people along the Manitou Passage through scenic Good Harbor Bay, passing landmarks like Pyramid Point and the North Manitou Shoal Light. The cash bar available to the public includes small snacks as well to keep boat passengers sustained until they reach land again, where they can venture to a local restaurant in the area. Custom group trips also make the Mishe-Mokwa an option for anyone looking for an entertaining experience or party via the water.
