ECO-TOURS

Picture
One of our objectives is to maintain a number of high quality eco-tours for you to enjoy.  We have some great opportunities in Michigan, one of which is the chance to see one of the most rare birds in the world, the Kirkland Warbler.  Another eco-tour adventure will allow the traveller to tour one the most unique and world recognized natural waste water treatment facilities. The Muskegon County waste water treatment facility on thousands of acres actually uses the land and natural processes to purify the water and send it back to the watershed. The process is truly a marvel and the location is also the home to a private astronomy club that welcomes visitors. 

After the land tour, you will be able to take a cruise on a University research vessel on Lake Michigan to test the water and sediment.  The crew also delivers a nice presentation on invasive species that are present in our Great Lakes and what we are trying to do about them.  Invasive species like the Zebra Mussel and the Asian Carp are threats to our lakes.  Many of the invasive species show up in the bilge water of large tankers traveling from the oceans of the world.

The eco-tours are plentiful in Michigan, especially when it comes to our great natural dunes.  We have living and moving dunes that have been known to swallow up entire houses over times.  Seeing them up close is almost like visiting another planet.

Many of the things to do in Michigan focus on outdoor activities such as biking, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and rafting.  Michigan has unique geological features including sink holes and living dunes.  The formation of the great lakes is interesting and our eco-tours will highlight various aspects so will will take away something while enjoying our natural resources.

"The Green Planet guide was wonderful and our tour was breathtaking. Our guide Dan was great and the view of Arch Rock from the water along with having 2 splendid hours on the water made this the most memorable part of our vacation! The water was so clear and we were able to swim and snorkel right off of the inflatable kayaks. We will definitely be back and have already shared with our friends about our great water adventure on Mackinac Island.  We love Green Planet Extreme!"

"We are active adventurers and our time in Michigan with Green Planet Extreme Adventures has become our favorite experience. We were blown away by the beauty of Michigan and the rich history of shipping and shipwrecks. The water was beautiful and clear and the snorkeling over the shipwrecks amazing. Our professional guide (Kevin) from green planet made us feel welcomed and made our son and daughter (8 & 12) feel important and respected. He provided us with an amazing amount of information. He also gave us free time on the water to explore and chill out. What a great trip! We highly recommend Green Planet Extreme Adventures!"

"Our day tour was something that we will remember for quite some time! We have taken day excursions in Mexico and our Green Planet Extreme Adventures day tour rivals any that we have been on, and may be even better!  We purchased a small picture package for $20 to have 12 HD photos emailed to us within 24 hours of our tour. Imagine our surprise when we received 32 HD pictures and a 2 minute underwater video of one of the shipwrecks! If you have ever been on a tour, picture packages can be expensive and cost over $100 or even $300. Green Planet Extreme Adventures....you rock!"

"Coming from California, we are experienced in outdoor excursions, including shoreline adventures and riding on trails. We were impressed with Green Planet Extreme Adventures custom adventure options. Our 2 day adventure with them was awesome! We paddled the Thunder Bay river and rode bikes on the Northeast Michigan bike trail. Green Planet set us up with some great food from the Fresh Palate. Our camp was set up when we were done with the day's activities and we had some fresh fish grilled over the campfire. What a great time! Hats off to Green Planet Extreme Adventures!"
