Your Mackinac Island trip starts at Pellston.

Airport to island, made easier

A clear plan from arrival to the ferry.

What we do

Why Mackinaw Shuttle

We've been doing this since the buses were burgundy.

Based at Pellston Regional and dispatched across the Tip of the Mitt. Our drivers know the schedule of every ferry, the back way to Mission Point during a 4th of July traffic mess, and which Bay Harbor hotels need the luggage rack tied down. We run year-round, and we answer the phone.

  • Local, year-round. Based at Pellston Regional with crews on call across Northern Michigan.
  • Right-sized fleet. 11-passenger vans for couples and small groups; 15- and 24-passenger shuttle buses for larger parties and full wedding loops.
  • Real people on the phone. Call 231-539-7005 for a quote in minutes — or use the forms.

Multi-hotel guest shuttles, bridal-party transport, late-night reception runs, and morning farewell airport returns. We coordinate directly with your venue and planner, build the schedule around the timeline, and adjust on the day without making it your problem.
