Day 1

Today we meet up with our Bianco driver and tour director and begin our journey to Port Clinton, OH. We’ll cross to the island aboard the Jet Express and arrive in downtown Put-In-Bay. Welcome to the Island! Long considered a boater’s paradise, Put-InBay on South Bass Island offers many amenities that you won’t believe you’re not in the Florida Keys. Restaurants, live music, and history abound as you discover the wonders of this small island. After lunch on our own we will check into the Bayshore Resort - right on the water featuring a pool and tiki bar with a view. After enjoying the sun and the view, we will depart on a narrated island tour as we learn about the War of 1812 and the marine life in the island. Along the way we will make a stop at Perry’s Cave, where we can choose to either tour the cave or visit the Butterfly House. If you choose to descend the 52 feet below the island’s surface into Perry’s Cave you’ll discover an incredible limestone cavern where soldiers from the war of 1812 found fresh water to sustain them. If you choose to visit the Butterfly House, you’ll be swept away by a 4,000 square foot, tropical aviary featuring hundreds of butterflies from around the world. From there the tour continues with a stop at the brand new Aquatic Visitor center before heading to the Crew’s Nest - the island’s private yacht club with beautiful views for our included dinner. This evening choose to listen to your style of live music at one of the many venues or enjoy the sunset at your hotel.

Day 2

Start today at your leisure - the morning is free for you to enjoy. Redeem your lunch voucher for an early lunch before the tram picks us up for our tour of Put-In-Bay Winery located at the Dollar Estate. Situated on the water, directly across from Gibraltar Island, sits the majestic Italianate residence, the Dollar Estate. Enjoy a guided tour of the Dollar House as well as the last remaining island icehouse, while tasting 4 of their iconic Put-In-Bay wines and learning about the importance of Valentine Dollar’s ice business and the evolution of travel across the frozen lake. After the tour we will reboard the Jet Express and return to the mainland for our trip home.
