The adventure
Climb aboard a guided dune vehicle for a rolling tour of the great sand hills beside Silver Lake. Steep slopes, broad sandy basins, and glimpses of Lake Michigan make the landscape feel much bigger than the surrounding coastal towns.
The ride is part sightseeing, part local tradition, with drivers interpreting the dune environment as the vehicle climbs and descends. It is a distinctive alternative to operating your own off-road machine.
ONCE YOU’RE THERE
Check in for a scheduled departure, follow driver instructions and enjoy the designated guided dune route.
