The tours begin each day around 7:30 am and following breakfast will travel to our first activity, which is usually to a lighthouse. Some lighthouses you will be able to walk to while others can best be seen from the sea. We will take a boat ride to lighthouses and islands, have lunch at a lighthouse or a lobster dock, some days are so full that we will grab a quick lunch in order to get everything in that has been planned for the day. More lighthouses in the afternoon and other activities such as visit to a museum, whale watch, etc. Evening meal includes Lobster bake or a nice restaurant in the area. Overnight in one of Maine's finest hotels or B&B's.

Other Information

Be sure to pack your plans for a Wicked Good Time. About the only thing we can't control is the weather. When you are on the coast it does get foggy and misty at times, but that's one of the reasons lighthouses were built. Bring warm clothes for the boat rides, it could get cold on the water in the summer in Maine. Don't forget sunglasses, camera, binoculars and rubber soled shoes for walking on uneven ground and for the boat rides. You want to be comfortable. See our tour policies for more information.
