Kayak around the scenic Frenchman Bay

Kayak at a comfortable pace out into the ocean in Frenchman Bay just outside of Bay Harbor. Paddle out under clear skies to explore the local coves, caves, and arches, and keep your eyes peeled for the harbor seals. Making their home in the exceptional scenery are some of the world’s most majestic birds, including guillemots and osprey, with a chance to also spot the soaring bald eagles.

Hop on and off the Boston trolley for iconic sights

Grab your map and take a one-day, whistle-stop tour of all the highlights in Boston and lose yourself in this vibrant, colorful city by taking the Boston Trolley. Hop on and off to make the most of your time, visiting the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum as well as allowing yourself some retail therapy at the Copley Place Mall, which features high-end fashion brands. Hear more humorous and enlightening stories as the conductor narrates your ride through the capital of Massachusetts.

Marvel at the exhibits in the Maine Lighthouse Museum

After admiring the beautiful Owls Head Lighthouse nestled on the clifftop in Rockland Harbor, learn more about the general history of US lighthouses in the fantastic Maine Lighthouse Museum. Make your way through exhibits that hold treasured artifacts – including different lamps used across history to protect our coastlines – and learn the story of the lady lightkeepers.

Follow in historic footsteps on the freedom trail

Take in over 250 years of history as you stroll the iconic freedom trail, a winding, 2.5-mile walk that explores 16 nationally significant sights. Depart from the Boston Common Visitors Center to then hear the staggering stories of the American Revolution, see the statue of Benjamin Franklin, and visit the home of Paul Revere downtown, one of the most famous patriots — just a few of the jewels in this tour’s crown.

Go where everybody knows your name

Complete your New England adventure with a visit to the original, iconic bar that inspired the hit sitcom, Cheers, down on Beacon Street. Attempt Norm’s burger challenge to make it onto their wall of fame and rub elbows with the friendly staff and welcoming locals. Fans of the show won’t want to forget to pick up some great Cheers merchandise to take home.
