Most of the hotels on the island are within walking distance from the ferry docks. If your luggage is being transported for you, then you can either catch a horse-drawn taxi, or simply walk to your hotel. (Check with your hotel to see if they offer this service.)

Once disembarking the ferry, you'll probably want to make your way to your accommodation to drop off your things. I recommend catching a morning ferry over to Mackinac Island if possible so you can have most of the day today to explore. Pro tip: On your way over on the ferry, if you're offered a visitor's guide booklet for purchase, get it! This $2 book is FULL of good tips and historical tidbits for the island, and helped a lot on our own first visit. Feel free to use this to help plan your own trip! Here's my 2-day itinerary for Mackinac Island, which is based on my own visit to this delightful island.
