Living Well Tours quenches people's thirst for a healthier way of life by hosting
recreational adventure tours throughout mid-Michigan.We help solve the problem, "What can we do for good clean fun?"
Living Well Tours was started in 2024 to help people discover a healthier way of life.
We see the world becoming a better place as we enhance people's recreational wellness.There are several aspects of holistic personal wellness, but recreational wellness
refreshes people like few other things.Recreational activity is doing fun things with others. Ideally, it engages our sense of adventure too. It's healthy, enjoyable and memorable, which means it renews both body and soul.Sometimes it can also be challenging, but this just accentuates our sense of accomplishment after we've done it.Our Living Well Tours are like mini vacations; they're affordable getaways designed to help re-energize people's zeal for life.Our motto is "Drink It In!".
As we drink together from the best that life has to offer, our lives will be changed for the better!

All of our Bike Tours make use of Greater Lansing's extensive River Trail network.
Some road riding is necessary, but we've designed our routes using these bike paths and less traveled roads as much as possible. This helps maximize the natural beauty experienced on each tour and minimize our engagement with road traffic at the same time.
