| Great excursion!We loved it! Would recommend you go on a good weather day. Only thing I wish we had been warned about was how hot it was on top of the lighthouse. Staff on the island were particularly helpful...highly recommend it! |

| This was an extraordinary tour. There is nothing to describe the lenses and there capacity to reflect light. To think sailors can see this magnificent structure from such a great distance, is very comforting. Thank God for the lighthouse keepers and the dedication they have. I would recommend this tour to everyone young and old. |

| It got hard to hear the discriptions and information the ranger was sharing about the different islands, but it was great getting to see the islands from a boat, getting close and having time to really see everything as aposed to just flying by them. Also, my group REALLY enjoyed the fact that we could climb to the top of the lighthouse; we have seen and climbed many others in multiple states and this was the first time we could get to the absolute top and close to the lense. Finally, the boat ride got a little long on the ride back. |

| My family and I had a wonderful and enjoyable experience at Boston Light. Our thanks to everyone on the staff from the Reservation Office/Boat Crew/Rangers and Coastguard were very friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all of our many questions (and here were many). Sally (The Lighthouse Keeper) was very gracious. She gave a personal touch to our trip to Boston Light............
P.S. We plan to make the trip again ..................The Willett family ! |

| This trip was probably the most fun I've had all summer. I've lived in Boston all my life, but only now am I exploring my backyard in Boston Harbor. I really enjoyed the boat ride out to Boston Light on Little Brewster Island; I think it took about an hour travel each way. Hint: sit inside on your way out so you can hear the guide describe the sights. On the island was wonderful. The Coast Guard personnel and Sally Snowman were fabulous! I'd recommend this trip to anyone - of course we had a nice warm, sunny day. |

| My family really enjoyed this trip. The rangers were very friendly and informative as well as the other volunteers and Coast Guard member that were waiting at the island. My kids really enjoyed working towards their Jr. Ranger patch at this National Park Service site. We all learned something about lighthouses and the views were fantastic as we traveled to and from Boston! I highly recommend this activity. |

| The guides were very well versed and kind.
We packed a picnic and had lunch on the island.
The boys enjoyed climbing the light house and learning about the light. |
