Ever thought about visiting Mackinac Island, voted one of the “Top 10 Islands in the U.S.”? Now’s your chance – for free!
Pure Michigan has partnered with Georama, a real-time vicarious travel platform, to allow the public to experience a virtual tour of the island in real time with guide Tom Daldin, host of the PBS show Under the Radar Michigan.
Visiting picturesque Mackinac Island—a place filled with forts and uncharted paths– is like taking a step back into time, where you can explore this enchanted paradise by horse and buggy, or by bicycle or on foot. Take in the breathtaking lakeshore views from the porch at Grand Hotel or savor some of the best fudge you’ll ever taste. For the first time ever, Pure Michigan is offering an interactive, first-person virtual tourist adventure of iconic Mackinac Island on Thursday, June 11 from noon to 4 p.m., EST.
Participants can join the tour simply by logging into michigan.org/live. Pure Michigan is the first state tourism office in the nation to utilize this technology, and only the second in the world after Victoria, Australia.
The platform allows two-way interaction, giving viewers from around the world a chance to ask questions or offer suggestions to Daldin on where to go and what to do using Twitter or Facebook. Daldin will respond via these social media channels to viewer questions and recommendations on camera.
We’re excited for you to join us on this Pure Michigan adventure! See you at michigan.org/live on Thursday, June 11 at 12 noon to 4pm, EST.
