Summer Discovery Cruises
Head out onto the waters of Lake St. Clair for a relaxed two-hour trip facilitated by an interpreter or guest speaker. Our vessel holds a maximum of 28 passengers and is semi-enclosed, to provide shade and a bit of protection from light winds. Each session focuses on a Great Lakes topic from the history of Lake St. Clair’s South Island Lights to nesting black terns. Topics are designed for audiences ages 6 and above.
What to Expect:
This program takes place entirely on a 28-passenger, semi-enclosed vessel. Interpretive program will be interspersed with opportunities for participants to enjoy the view, take photos, and move around the vessel. Passengers will enter the vessel using a short ladder and will be seated for a portion of the trip. The tour begins and ends at Lake St. Clair’s North Marina.
Ages: 6 and up.
Time: Times vary by cruise.
Cost: $30 per child, $30 per adult
