The island's prohibition of motorized vehicles means that every guest arrives and departs by horse-drawn carriage or bicycle, creating a sense of temporal remove from the modern world that is impossible to replicate at a mainland resort and that gives group programs set on Mackinac Island a built-in novelty and conversation value that participants remember for years.
