Boston Light
Fri, Jul 20, 07   10:00 AM VickiSanders Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This is an excellent way to see Boston Harbor, the harbor islands and the open sea. The lighthouse is majestic, set on it's rocky, windswept perch, well out from land. The historic nature of the site was introduced beautifully by the National Park Ranger who accompianied our group. The Coast Guard men and women who keep the light were cheerful and informative. Very impressive place to be. This was altogether a great morning trip.

Beautiful scenery and Knowledgeable Staff

The scenery was very beautiful and the staff was very knowledgeable. I wish would could have spent more than 45 minutes at the Boston Light. Also, dissappointed that we were unable to climb the light tower due to restoration efforts. Next summer, the light tower will be accessible according to the staff.

Though it was extreemly windy and we were unable to disembark at Boston Light, we enjoyed the tour of Boston Harbor and the harbor islands.

Unfortunate weather
Sun, Jul 15, 07   1:30 PM kshoneman Male 60-69 Local Group of Friends
Glad we got out and saw the lighthouse. Unfortunate we couldn't get off, but they did a good job of showing us some other stuff. Would have liked it if they would have given us the chance to choose a future ticket or a ride in the harbor. They basically knew we couldn't get off since they brought the volunteers home. So at least I should have gotten one future free ticket for every two passengers. I recognize all the disclaimers and have no problem, just the decision making seemed to be "made up". No problem with the rough ride. Captain did a nice job. So did the ranger.

Beautiful view of Boston harbor islands

The staff was informative and helpful. Unfortunately, we couldn't land at Brewster Island, but the captain substituted an alternative to our tour. The boat is adequate, no frills, but it was a fun adventure around the islands.

enjoyable with a few inconveniences
Sun, Jul 15, 07   10:00 AM askent Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our guides were very enthusiastic and informative. We enjoyed the trip, but thought that an hour was a little longer than needed. I had read that there was free parking on Sundays and it turned out not to be the case. No one was working the lot when we arrived, but was there when we returned. We dickered with him so that we didn't pay the full price, but we were upset about it. The only other thing that bothers me was that we can't get a refund. We had one member of our group get sick before we left and remained at home. I ask the ranger if we could sell the ticket if someone needed but that was not the case because it is all resrved ahead of time.

Very nice tour
Sun, Jul 15, 07   10:00 AM npsmith Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
I live in Raleigh, NC, and went to Boston to visit my daughter who moved there after college for work. While I was in town, my daughter and I took this tour and the experience was a very good one for both of us. Staff members on the boat and on the island were very informative and helpful. We were only disapointed by the fact that the reservations' website indicates that drinks and snacks are availble for purchase on the boat, but there was actually nothing for sale on board. It would be nice to have a few snacks and especially coffee for sale on the boat. Thank you for taking care of Boston Light and the opportunity you offer for the general public to visit it.

Excellent Lighthouse Tour
Sat, Jul 14, 07   10:00 AM dhyche Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My wife and I were attending a conference in Boston and were looking for an opportunity to see a part of Boston that we had not experienced previously. The Boston Lighthouse Tour was a great way to see the harbor islands and some of the unique features of those islands and their respective communities. The visit to the Boston Lighthouse itself was excellent...the enthusiastic staff and volunteers really set the stage for a great trip.

Beautiful and welcoming tour with fun and history
Sat, Jul 14, 07   10:00 AM Brichardson Female 70+ Local Group of Friends
We loved the boat, the tour among Boston Islands, the landing on Little Brewster with its lighthouse. We had a warm welcome on the tour and on the Island. There are picnic tables, fun on the little beach, and pleasant just sitting and enjoying the boats and ocean. The rangers are most helpful and friendly.

Great way to tour the Boston harbor islands!
Sat, Jul 14, 07   10:00 AM misterchen Male 30-39 Local Family Without Children
I highly recommend the Boston Island Lighthouse tour as it is well-run, full of interesting historical tidbits, and gets you out in the Boston harbor islands (not something event the locals do usually).

Fun time, relaxing and informative
Fri, Jul 13, 07   10:00 AM jennifernes Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The guides were friendly and had loads of information to share. It was relaxing and we had a great time. The island (Little Brewster) was small but if you like to take pictues you can stay busy doing that. The staff had different stations you could drop by and learn more about the island, lighthouse and history. It was disappointing not to be able to climb to the top of the lighthouse but we knew that ahead of time so it was not a surprise. It was worth the trip. Have fun!

Great histroy and scenery!

I really loved this a lot, and would like to take my mom back there. It was great! The only drawback was I had a hard time hearing the tour guide through the speaker. The scenery was breathtaking!
