The cruise was wonderful! The knowledge and humor of our guide made the cruise so much fun. Seeing the lighthouses and islands, hearing the history and checking out the bald eagle and seals made it awesome. Thanks for the memories!!

Great overview of the area

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour had a great overview of the Portland area. Our tour guide, Greg, was very knowledgeable and would ask other staff for verification if he didn’t know the answer to a question. Overall, this was a great start to our trip and gave us a good idea of what we wanted to do.
