Mackinac Island's horse carriage taxi service.
Hail a carriage from your phone — no cars, just hooves.
Choose from 10 named pickup & dropoff locations across the island — the docks, Grand Hotel, Fort Mackinac, and more.
Your nearest available driver accepts the ride. Track their carriage on a live map as they approach.
Sit back, take in the views, and arrive at your destination the way Mackinac was meant to be explored.
Mackinac Island has banned motor vehicles since 1898. Horse-drawn carriages are the island's taxis, buses, and delivery trucks — all rolled into one.
Hooves connects riders with licensed carriage drivers instantly. No flagging down a passing cab, no waiting at the dock hoping one shows up. Just open the app and ride.
Licensed carriage operators — create a profile, go active when you're ready, and start accepting rides. Track your earnings, manage your schedule, all from one dashboard.
