Glad we got out and saw the lighthouse. Unfortunate we couldn't get off, but they did a good job of showing us some other stuff. Would have liked it if they would have given us the chance to choose a future ticket or a ride in the harbor. They basically knew we couldn't get off since they brought the volunteers home. So at least I should have gotten one future free ticket for every two passengers. I recognize all the disclaimers and have no problem, just the decision making seemed to be "made up". No problem with the rough ride. Captain did a nice job. So did the ranger. |

The staff was informative and helpful. Unfortunately, we couldn't land at Brewster Island, but the captain substituted an alternative to our tour.
The boat is adequate, no frills, but it was a fun adventure around the islands. |

Our guides were very enthusiastic and informative. We enjoyed the trip, but thought that an hour was a little longer than needed. I had read that there was free parking on Sundays and it turned out not to be the case. No one was working the lot when we arrived, but was there when we returned. We dickered with him so that we didn't pay the full price, but we were upset about it. The only other thing that bothers me was that we can't get a refund. We had one member of our group get sick before we left and remained at home. I ask the ranger if we could sell the ticket if someone needed but that was not the case because it is all resrved ahead of time. |

I live in Raleigh, NC, and went to Boston to visit my daughter who moved there after college for work. While I was in town, my daughter and I took this tour and the experience was a very good one for both of us. Staff members on the boat and on the island were very informative and helpful.
We were only disapointed by the fact that the reservations' website indicates that drinks and snacks are availble for purchase on the boat, but there was actually nothing for sale on board. It would be nice to have a few snacks and especially coffee for sale on the boat.
Thank you for taking care of Boston Light and the opportunity you offer for the general public to visit it. |

My wife and I were attending a conference in Boston and were looking for an opportunity to see a part of Boston that we had not experienced previously. The Boston Lighthouse Tour was a great way to see the harbor islands and some of the unique features of those islands and their respective communities. The visit to the Boston Lighthouse itself was excellent...the enthusiastic staff and volunteers really set the stage for a great trip. |

We loved the boat, the tour among Boston Islands, the landing on Little Brewster with its lighthouse. We had a warm welcome on the tour and on the Island. There are picnic tables, fun on the little beach, and pleasant just sitting and enjoying the boats and ocean.
The rangers are most helpful and friendly. |

Would reccommend to others |

I highly recommend the Boston Island Lighthouse tour as it is well-run, full of interesting historical tidbits, and gets you out in the Boston harbor islands (not something event the locals do usually). |
