| Me and my Friends thought the trip to the Little Brewster Island / Boston Light was fantastic, we all find that the Coast Guard volunteers, Park Rangers and volunteers were terrific, very helpful and interesting.
I would recommend this trip to everyone, I can't wait to go on another trip to a different Island with this group.
Thank you for an exciting day.
Kind Regards,

| My wife and I totally enjoyed our visit to Boston Light. The information provided by the park service rangers during the boat trip describing the different islands and the various actvities that coud be enjoyed and their assistance at the lighthouse were very enlightening. The U.S. Coast Guardsmen at the lighthouse also provided great insight to their activities and the history of the lighthouse. We are lifelong Boston area residents and this trip was long overdue. |

| We took the trip for the second time and enjoyed even more than the first time. Its not a long day, just a lovely ride over, short visit on the island, almost too short, and then lovely ride back. All the staff and volunteers are courteous, informed and helpful.
Recommend this to anyone young or old. |

| Being a lighthouse fanatic, I was absolutely thrilled with this trip. It was all I hoped it would be. It was informative and interesting. I enjoyed meeting the last civilian lighthouse keeper in the U.S. The staff and guide explained how life is and was on the island and had some great stories. The guide from Boston Harbor Islands was great on the ride to the island giving us the history of most of the islands in the harbor. I would highly recommend this trip. But I would also make sure that people read everything carefully. This is not a trip for someone who is handicapped or cannot get around on their own. I was a little wary as to whether I could handle it but I had no problems getting on or off the small boat or climbing the two ladders to the top of the tower. |

| we completely loved the trip but had a couple of suggestions:
- bathroom issue to resolve, especially since there is water [and understanding hard to dispose of waste] on the island
- picnicing instructions since there are picnic tables but not enough time to have one if you do the lighthouse tour
- schedule instructions to group once they're on the boat |

Well worth the money!

| This was a most enjoyable tour. The National Park and Coast Guard volunteers were very informative and welcoming. The view from the lighthouse was remarkable and the ferry ride to and from the island was scenic. We've been on several lighthouse tours throughout the country, and this was the most enjoyable. |

| We were looking for something locally to do. We are from South of Boston, with children 7 & 9 yrs. old. This is an age that they are too old for some things, and old enough to enjoy others. Boston Light appealed to my children, as well as my husband & myself. Being on the water, the views of Boston Harbor, learning about the area we live, a local lighthouse & island that one can walk around & climb the lighthouse steps for a beautiful view. We enjoyed this escursion. There were people with young children, those with no children, from the US & abroad. Everyone appeared to enjoy themselves. |

| The light house tour was just long enough to climb the light house, take pictures, ask questions, and just enjoy the view of the activities in the boston harbor. I would recommend this tour to anyone who likes light houses and water. The guides were extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. The only thing that we had a little trouble with was finding the foot bridge to cross over to get on the tour boat. |
