| The boat trip was fun, and the tour during the trip very informative. The officials and volunteers who staffed the tour were knowledgable and helpful.
It was very choppy when we went out (and starting to rain), so we weren't able to dock at the Boston Light island itself as intended. That's nobody's fault. What was a poor decision, I think, was that the tour decided to go further out in the harbor, extending the trip on water, so as to give us our money's worth--and did this without consulting the passengers or taking a vote. Frankly, I think the vast majority of us would have preferred packing it in right away rather than enduring a fair amount of boredom and some seasickness. |

| My wife and I wanted to do something on the 4th of July that wouldn't involve large crowds. The Light House trip filled the bill. Lots of interesting information about all of the Boston Islands. A great way to spend an afternoon in Boston. |

| This was a great trip on a beautiful day. The enthusiasm of all the volunteers from the Coast Guard Auxilliary and the Friends of the Harbor Islands was wonderful and the Light House Keeper even baked cookies, which was especially nice.
My only suggestion, since I took this trip on the Fourth of July, is to include the USS Constitution turnaround near Castle Island in the boat ride and maybe join the flotilla. I've taken other boat trips that do this and it would be great to include it in this trip. |

| It was easy to get to fan prier via the silver line. The early boat ride to the lighthouse was ideal. Perfect weather with a light wind, very clear view. Walking around on the island and seeing the lighthouse was interesting. All the attendants were imformative and helpful. The chefs salad was delicious and plentyful. Thank you for a great morning before the fireworks. Everyone gave up their holiday time to see that we enjoyed the day..so thanks again. |

| For the 10-1pm trip don't buy lunch. Not that good for $12, and you'll be back at 1pm anyway to eat ashore.
I was disappointed that there was no lecture on the island about the history of the lightnouse. They relied on visitors to ask questions. I would have preferred a more structured lecture |

| You'll learn a lot and have a fine time. The time on the island was a bit too long since the lighthouse itself was closed to visitors. |

| The staff was so professional and informative. The lighthouse keeper was so great to see her at the edge of the dock all dressed up was awesome. The staff on the island were great with the kids and they certainly knew there stuff about the island and the lighthouse! We were really disapointed that you could not go up to the top of the lighthouse, and I do feel we should have known this before the trip, but I will need to go back again which is fine! Overall, top rate tour of Little Brewster Island, and all of the islands! We had a great time!!!! |

| The guide couldn't have been nicer. The boat clean and comfortable. The information, informative and easy to listen to. We enjoyed the tour of the grounds but didn't have enough time to participate in all the activities. Which was a shame seeing as I wanted to spend some time on the beach looking for all the little creatures. Great for kids! It will be more exciting next year when we can climb the lighthouse, The tour of Graves light was a nice replacement tho. Had a lovely time and look forward to bringing our parents next time seeing as they are lighthouse buffs. Thanks for a nice day. Cudo's to our Parks service guide it was her first time and she did a great job. Loved Rocky too.
sincerely Beth Dodd
I give it five stars!!! |
