Mac Woods is a great way to see the dunes if you don't have your own 4x4 to drive on the north end of the Silver Lake Sand Dunes that are open to the public for exploring. More

How many buses go out on the sand dunes? Not many, but Mac Woods takes these bus-like dune buggies out loaded with people. Really had fun, it was just my family and the driver-- who was fun and really knowledgeable. More

Our family really enjoyed the dune ride on the dunes in Silver Lake, MI. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The view of Lake Michigan from the top of the dunes was awesome. This is a must-do when you come to the Western Michigan shoreline. More

I loved this ride as a kid and still love it. Gorgeous views, open top car so you can see everything, and fun corny jokes. Great for all ages. More

I read other people's reviews and was anticipating a real fun adventure. The scooter ride was OK, but not an adventure. The wait to go on the ride was an hour (so it is popular) and the ride itself lasted 40-45 minutes, which included about ten minutes hanging out on the beech. The ride itself was like a four ticket... More
