| The guide on board ship was thoroughly informative; she really had excellent knowledge of the region we were touring. The staff and volunteers on the island were also informative, extra friendly and welcoming. All in all it was an excellent adventure, I would highly recommend this trip to one and all. |

| If you live in the Boston area and have never been out to the Boston Harbor Islands, you're missing a wonder local resource. The guided tour out to Boston Light (light house) is a great way to get an overview of all the islands and visit the last attended light house in the country! It's a fun, local adventure. |

| Had a great time on the tour of two lighthouses in Boston Harbor. The volunteers who manned the tour were informative and helpful in all aspects of the trip. Lunch on Little Brewster Island was lovely. I like that boxed lunches were available for purchase. |

| The island is beautiful and the staff most knowledgable and helpful. Any day one goes is a learning experience, but admittedly having a sunny clear day is an advantage. Our view was 10 miles to the west and we could make out Minot's light to the East. Too, having an opportunity to sail by Graves was an added plus. It gives one an even different perspective. It would be nice to include that as a part of the tour as well even when it's possible to climb the light again. Having "island time" was heavenly. |

| What a beautful day to go to Little Brewster Island. Blue sky ,80 degrees and no humidity made our trip perfect. The island and lighthouse is certainly a gem that I didn't know existed so close to home. The experience was very informative and the ranger and his assistants were knowledgeabe and very nice. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again with other family members. |

| We had a great time.
I enjoyed the historical info provided about shipwrecks, maps, things of this sort. Really enjoyed talking with the lighthouse keeper and husband.
A very pleasant trip. Took a 3 yo and he had fun, too! |

| Great event for a family. There's history, architecture, nature, and sweeping ocean vistas. The monarch butterflies were covering the island feeding on flowers on this visit. |

| Val, the Park Ranger, was informative and enthusiastic about the Harbor Islands.
It was enjoyable to arrive at Little Brewster Island and see the Innkeeper dressed in Colonial clothes. I appreciated the history that she shared.
Inside the Lighthouse Museum, we appreciated seeing the Small size of the light and realizing that it shown for a distance of 27 miles.
The goldenrod garden outside and the butterflies were beautiful.
The boat ride was cooling on a very lovely and peaceful day. |

| Cool foggy day, and a rough day at sea, but the ranger, Lighthouse Keeper and "Friends of the Harbor Islands" made it worthwhile. A totally different perspective on Boston Harbor and great history at Boston Light. Who knew! |
