| Beautiful views of Boston. Interesting tour of Harbor Islands. We really enjoyed our visit to the lighthouse. Trip was not too long or short. Guides very friendly and helpful, informative. I am definitely going to go on another Boston Harbor cruise in the near future. 5 out of 5 stars. |

| I have been to the light houses before (via kayak) but I had family who wanted to see them up close. Great trip during any time of year. |

| The boat ride out to the island was very nice and it was nice to have the narration, but it was hard to hear. All of the guides (the lighthouse keeper, the Coast Guard guys and the NPS folks) were all very knowledgable and enthousiastic in answering questions and sharing their knowledge of the harbor islands. The ride back around the Graves was also very enjoyable and I appreciated going out to the edge of the harbor. All in all, a very positive, enjoyable experience. I learned alot about the Boston Harbor Light and the harbor islands and really had a great time! I will definitely take this tour when I return to Boston next year, and will recommend it to friends and family!

| I, my wife and sister in law, who are Bostonians by birth, but have been away from the city for many years, had a nostagic and informative tour of Boston Harbor on the 4th of July. The boat trip combined very interesting historical information with a wonderful geography lesson, resulting in a terrific afternoon on the water. Everyone associated with the trip (park ranger/guide, boat crew and USCG auxilliary volunteeers were professional, informative and courteous. It was a day that we will not only remember fondly but would recommend it as a unique and exciting way to visit Boston from a different perspective. Thanks to all who graciously shared Boston Harbor with us. |

Lighthouse Tour without landing the island??

| I was a little bit disappointed with the lighthouse tour actually. The reason I joined the tour was my long-time interest in the Boston Lighthouse. Because I was really eager to see the lighthouse, I booked the tickets about three weeks ago. Since it was not possible to change the date, I just wish the weather would be good.
It was the 4th of July when I joined the tour. It was becoming cloudy in the afternoon, but not rainy. My friends and I took the boat and it was a pleasant trip until we got to Little Brewster Island where the Boston Lighthouse was located. However, the captain was not able to anchor the boat at the island. After trying a few times, he gave up landing, and we were not able to get into the island. The guide said it was due to safety reasons. So for the next two hours, we did not land any other islands and the boat continued sailing the harbor area until the scheduled returning time to Boston. The only reason I joined the tour was to go to the Boston Lighthouse and I could not even get to the island. It was really a big pity.
I understand their concern about safety, but as a customer I believe I have a right to enjoy the tour as much as I want. And if a costumer was not satisfied with it at any reason, I believe I deserve some kind of compensation such as another ticket for future tour or partial refund.
There were a few restriction to book the tickets; After once I bought tickets, there would be no refund or changing dates. So I was not able to change the date although the weather was not good on that day. And I was not informed about any possibility not landing at Little Brewster before the boat departed. It just happend in front of the island.
Certainly it was a waste of money for me. They did not let me change the date, and the tour wasn`t successful. and no compensation to the customer? I understand the company's not-refunding and not-changeing date policy. However, what about a customer's satisfaction?
