WHY ADVENTURE TRAVEL in MICHIGAN ? (THE 2112 EFFECT)

1/22/2010

0 Comments

 
I first began looking for a way to provide some work for my kids as they got older and went off to college, which will happen for my oldest beginning next school year in 2010.  Once I did the research and found some great areas to explore it all started to come together.  I know what our natural resources are all about here in Michigan.  All that you have to do is look at our geographical area and see the water ways, islands, shoreline and big, big water.  

I have been working on launching this business for the past 2 to 2-1/2 years by building up some partnerships and contacts throughout the state.  We have great people here and many of them have experienced the downturn in the economy more than once.  It seems sometimes that we in Michigan have been in a recession for the past 25-30 years with the loss of manufacturing jobs as industriies have whithered away and as many have movwed away in search of cheaper labor.  

What we know and what many do not see looking from the outside is our natural wonders and tremendous parks systems and trails.  Many seem to view Michigan with a horde of cars buzzing around polluting and destroying our environment.  That is the furthest from the truth.  Our image has been under repair for some time now and it is a goal of mine to contiinue promoting our state and the great adventure travel destination that is virtually untapped.  If you like adventure travel and want a new experience in a pristine environment, come to Michigan and book your adventure with Green Planet Extreme.  We are Michigan sons and daughters who want to share what we have and help our people recover from some pretty tough times. 

We are getting closer to December 21, 2012, when the Mayan calendar ends.  Some say it will be the end of the world, but I say that it will be about a renewal and the beginning of a new cycle.  We are trying to get a head start with the renewal part since we in Michigan always seem to be at the head of the table when the economy tanks.

So, whether we have only 2 years to enjoy life or if we will go through a renewal, why not enjoy your time right now.  Living is good.

We hope to see you soon.  Come shred your adventure with us!

"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!"
