| There were four of us in our group and we all enjoyed the tour. The tour guides along with the lighthouse keeper and volunteers were friendly and knowledgable. What a great and fun way to learn about a part of our history. After days of walking through the streets of Boston, this tour provided us with rest while still seeing the sights of Boston. | ||||||

| We found the guides and volunteers to be helpful and fully prepared. The weather was not the best but all of the people did their best to make it an interesting and informative trip. Keeper Sally was very enjoyable. Whe obviously knows her job yet has a fun personality. It was easy to see she loved her job and sharing it with others. | ||||||

| The tour to Little Brewster Island and the Boston Light is a trip I would recommend to anyone interested in experiencing the history of the Boston Harbor Islands. Park Ranger Val gave a most informative talk on the way to Little Brewster and lighthouse keeper Sally warmly welcomed us to her home. The climb up the light is recommended as well and the view can't be beaten. I would definitely recommend the trip to Boston Light. | ||||||

| For years I have wanted to visit the Boston Lighthouse, so when the opportunity presented itself, my husband and I grabbed it and have no regrets whatsoever. The cruise to the island was narrated by caring, well informed National Park Rangers and members of the Friends of Boston Harbor Islands, and the tour of the island was magical. Sally, the lighthouse keeper (yes, Boston Light has a lighthouse keeper--in fact, the only lighthouse in the US that still does), was warm and enthusiastic and happy to answer any questions. If you are interested, she'll even tell you about paranormal activity on the island. The trip wouldn't be complete without a good ghost story. Do not miss the climb to the top of the lighthouse. The view is amazing! I would make the trip again in a heartbeat! Thank you to the whole Boston Harbor crew, all the rangers, members of FBHI, and the lighthouse keepers. D. and F. Meyn | ||||||

| The Boston Light Tour is a delightful way to tour a bit of Boston Harbor. NPS guides are knowledgeable, as are the guides at the Light House. We especially enjoyed Sally Snowman in costume and a chance to climb up to the actual light chamber. | ||||||

| My family enjoyed this trip very much. Little Brewster Island is a beautiful and unique place to visit and have lunch. The rangers and the lightkeeper Sally were all friendly and informative. The climb up the lighthouse consists of 76 spiral steps and two short ladders. Anyone who changes his mind during the climb is welcome to just turn around. One caveat -- The day we went on the tour, we travelled on a small powerboat instead of the big ferry we expected. One has to go down a small metal ladder to get from the boat to the island. One of the older passengers was not able to do this because she used a cane. So if this is an issue for you, call ahead and try to find out what sort of boat will be used on the day you're going. And one more note -- Sammy the dog no longer lives on the island. | ||||||

| Enjoyed boat ride to and from lighthouse. Pleased with weather conditions and description of climb to top of lighthouse------amazing views from top. Brought along a teenager from Spain(Burgos) who we were sponsoring for late summer. He really got to see something that most Americans do not get to see(except if you are in the Coast Guard). Thanks for this experience for both our family and our Spanish guest!! | ||||||

| I want to come back and stay for a week, when there are few tourists, to enjoy the island, to see the night time sky and Boston by night Everyone of the staff and volunteers were welcoming, informed and at the same time, let us meander on our own. We all loved it! Thank you all Susan Brown for the three of us | ||||||

| 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, Donna Haddad | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||
