It was cool to see the bridge from an angle you don't typically see. The captain and crew were friendly. I would absolutely do this again.

It was very informative trip lasted about an hour. We went under the Mackinac Bridge learned a lot about its history and it’s construction.
Also gave some cool information about the history of the area too
Take a Jacket. It gets really cool.
We could not hear a word of the history. The speaker was really muffled.
Had a great tour! Waters were a little rough but couldn’t beat the views! Wore flip flops which was good when some water came in the back.
Very interesting and informative tour about the bridge construction and surrounding area! The crew was top notch and made sure you had a great experience!
Nice trip...good narration was very cool to see bridge from underneath. Staff was great easy access on and off The Ugly Annie II
Very informative and interesting, something everyone should do at least once. Probably do it again and take the whole family
Great opportunity to learn about the bridge and the surrounding areas history. The ship was very nice and accommodating the price was great as well the staff was verh friendly. I would highly recommend this boat tour. I would go again
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. The captain of the ship did an excellent job of providing a smooth ride despite the rough water conditions! We would highly recommend this tour!
Wonderful boat ride and the people that work here are very knowledgeable about the area and super nice!
Nice boat trip, experienced crew. Everyone was friendly and informative.
A little hard to hear the narration in the back of the boat .
Would do another tour.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Bring a jacket or sweatshirt, it is cold on Lake Huron. Be careful where you sit, you could get wet. Very educational, great for history buffs, those that love bridges, or anyone that loves to be on the lake. Great photo ops of the bridge and the lake.
A fun informative experience. Friendly and knowledgeable staff made our group feel welcomed. Wanted to see the bridge from both sides
It was cool to see the bridge from an angle you don't typically see. The captain and crew were friendly. I would absolutely do this again.
Totally enjoyed the trip and the crew. Crew is very friendly and knowledgeable. My wife and I really loved the ride.
We had a great trip on the Ugly Anne. Lots of historical information—great captain and crew. Fantastic views of the bridge. Greeted warmly and made welcome by office staff.
It got cancelled due to the wind, but it wasn’t very windy at all! Very disappointed. We had this planned since June.
The weather was great and the historical facts were cool, not only for the bridge, but for the Coast Guard Ice Cutter and the ferries and the Mackinac Island hotel.
This was a good family friendly experience. We've learned some interesting facts about the area & my son was excited to demonstrate his newly gained knowledge the next day during the island tour. We all enjoyed the cruise.

Beautiful cruise. The staff members were so kind. Very reasonable. And accommodating. Just a nice easy going boat ride. Good history lesson.
Loved the view, the ride, the history of the bridge and the straits. It was my son’s tenth birthday. He will remember it forever. Myself….I’m 47, and have been over the bridge over a hundred times. This enhances the experience.
Such a fun and educational boat tour! It's amazing just looking at the structure of the bridge from underneath. Will be back!
We were pleasantly surprised how fun, informative and relaxing this one-hour tour was! It was great to be able to go directly under the longest suspended bridge in the Western Hemisphere. This family owned business is top notch.
Beautiful day! Everyone we dealt with made the experience very enjoyable. They treated us like we're family.
Great people, great tour. Loved the personal touch with additional stories that were piggy backed by the guy on the boat besides the pre-recorded information.
This was an awesome trip, found out more history then I ever knew and I have been coming up here going on 40 years now. Finally got a real view of the bridge.
Fantastic tour!! Company is fantastic!! 5 plus stars loved it!!
