We enjoyed the ranger and all the volunteers. The tour was informative, organized, comfortable, and fun. We live very near Boston light and had always wanted to go look at it more closely. Thanks for a great day! |

A very nice trip. Highly recomended for anyone who is interested in Boston history.
The actual visit was painfully short (under an hour)- and does not include going up the lighthouse (hopefully in a few years). Otherwise quite wonderful, with lots of eager guids that will be happy to tell you anything and everything about what it is like living on an island.

It was great. Park Ranger "Jessica Renahen" was the best. Very well informed of the Boston Harbour and area. Lighthouse crew exceptional. Needed more time at lighthouse.
Departure area needs to be better marked for customers. We did have a problem finding boat. |
|
We had fun and learned a lot. |

OUr group included a 23 year old, and 82 year old and a 60 year old. We had so much fun....loved being on the boat, our Ranger was great fun and very informed and informative. It was great learning more about the islands and their accessibility to us all. Keep up the great work of stewardship!! |

We had a fantastic time. From 56 years old down to 14 years old, all of us had a great time. The only thing that would have made it better is if we could have climbed up the lighthouse. Because of the repairs to the mirrors, I don't believe that will be open until 2008.
Other than that, it really was a wonderful time. |

awesome! |

This is a great way to see the harbor in Boston, and is very enlightening from a historical perspective. The guides are all so friendly and helpful. They enjoy sharing the stories about this important landmark! This was the first lighthouse built in America,so it felt very special just being there. It is just a fun experience to take the ferry ride out to the light. There are box lunches available for purchase at the dock, or you can bring your own food. The tour is about 3 hours including the boat ride to and from the lighthouse. We are mariners, so this was especially meaningful to us. We loved it! Boston is a great place to visit!! |

Liked the tour, wish we had more time on island |

The lighthouse was wonderful and we'll be back when we can go up the light.
But even though lunches are sold there is not really any time to actually eat it on the island after you've looked around. So your faced with a choice of eating or touring. It would be nice to have more time on the island or stop at another island for lunch. It just felt too rushed for both. Also there is only one picnic table on the island so there is not much room for actually eating.
If your with small children watch out for the sun. Bring hats with chin straps. There is very little shade during the boat ride or on the island.
We wished they would stop at one of the other harbour islands so that we could make a day of it and take a different boat back. |
