We really enjoyed the tour. The guides were informative and friendly. It felt like friends inviting us into their home. The lack of commercialism was refreshing.

Boston Harbor via the Boston Light Tour
Sat, Aug 9, 08   1:30 PM wannarms Female 50-59 Combination Family Without Children
With lovely weather the 45 minute boat ride to the Boston Light gives one an excellent view of various islands in the habor. The on board ranger telling the history and current use of various islands was very informative. The visit to Little Brewster Island and the Light itself was also excellent. Although only one in our party of 4 wanted to climb the light the other three did not lack interesting things to do. There are beutiful views from the island and good stories from the various volunteers and rangers. The lighthouse keeper was delightful, as was her husband.

We all are well travled but found this excursion worthwhile,very informative and would recommend it highly.I do not think children under 12 would benefit and actually could take away from the tour.

Enjoyable, relaxing and historically informative

The Rangers from the National Park Service and the lighthouse keeper did an excellent job describing the history of the islands and the history of Boston Light. It was incredible to walk up into the light house and be witness to the view of Boston, the islands and surronding communities. It was especially impressive to see the craftsmanship and ingenuity that went into creatind the lighthouse beacon. A worthwhile trip for locals and tourists!!

Fun, great water views and much history learned.

Some of us were local but learned much about the history of the islands and lighthouse. Those of our party from Alabama and Hawaii thought it was awesome, from the views to the history. They were very happy they came.

I attended with my two children and all of us enjoyed it very much. The tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable and made it interesting for children as well. The scavenger hunt on the beach on Little Brewster made all the difference with my kids. Thank you!

A really fun trip
Sun, Aug 3, 08   10:00 AM annereynolds Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the trip out to Little Brewster Island and the tour of the lighthouse. My only small disappointment was the boat that took us out there - it was quite small and from the front area, it was difficult to see the sights from certain seats. That said, the experience on the island itself was fantastic and the climb up the lighthouse is highly, highly recommended!!!

Wonderful introduction to Boston Harbor
Fri, Aug 1, 08   10:00 AM bonniemrp Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
The enthusiastic Rangers and volunteers made this excursion a delight. The little island is a gem, where you feel easily transported back in time. The rigors and isolation of lighthouse keeping is felt. The small boat was a bit of a disappointment, with its backless bench seats, but it ably ferried us out to the island and back amidst the bustle of busy Boston Harbor. Plan to spend extra time along the waterfront - it's beautiful. We brought a picnic lunch over to the island, but there are many restaurants in the area to visit either before or after your cruise.

My husband and I enjoyed our trip out to Little Brewster Island to see the Boston Lighthouse. The staff was helpful and very informative. We were very pleased that we got to see two other Lighthouses on our way out to the island.

This is the best tour I've ever been on in Boston
Thu, Jul 31, 08   1:30 PM kbworld Female 30-39 Local Other
I have done tours all over the world (literally) and all over Boston. This is by far the best one. It was helpful, friendly, full of info, and super super cool. Who has ever been in the top of a lighthouse where the actual light is? (Other than all those folks in Puff the Magic Dragon?) I took my dad (who is 64) for a Father's Day gift. He loved it too. No problem walking up to the top! Go on this tour. Totally affordable, too!

Unique perspective of Boston's harbor islands
Thu, Jul 31, 08   10:00 AM jasonmaneke Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My family & I spent four days touring the Boston area and the harbor tour was definetly a highlight. The National Park Service did a wonderful job. Our children participated in the Junior Ranger program and the attention given them by the NPS, Island volunteers, and Sally the lighthouse keeper was tremendous. The boat operators were very professional and the guided tour informational. Going up the Boston lighthouse was my personal favorite. Thank you to all -- this is a unique opportunity to see a part of Boston rarely seen.

A pleasant way to see the Boston harbor
Thu, Jul 31, 08   10:00 AM zanbuell Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
We really enjoyed our trip out to the harbor islands. All the tour guides were fabulous- friendly, informed, and entertaining! We learned so much of the Boston harbor history thanks to all of them. What a beautiful day- the trip was a total of 3 hours- it was relaxing, and never felt too long.I would certainly recommend this trip to everyone.
