Portland Explorer | Maine historie, kultur, og 3 fyrtårne tur
Beskrivelse
Hop over byen og gå direkte til kysten på denne dedikerede fyrtur i Maine's bedste fyrtårne. Udforsk tre ikoniske beacons, der har guidet søfolk i århundreder, og hver tilbyder en chance for at dykke ned i deres rige historie. Mens de fleste fyrtårne ikke er åbne for ture, får du stadig tætte udsigter og masser af muligheder for at beundre deres fantastiske arkitektur og naturskønne omgivelser. Når du navigerer gennem Portlands maleriske kystlinje, vil du være omgivet af betagende udsigter, der er lige så berømte som de er smukke. Denne fokuserede, afslappede tur er den perfekte måde at forbinde med det maritime fortid, mens du indtager charmen i Maine's kystlandskab.

Rejseplan
Uanset om du besøger for første gang eller har kaldt Portland hjem i årevis, tilbyder denne tur en frisk og engagerende måde at udforske det store Portland område. Kør komfortabelt om bord på en af vores Ford Transit personbiler, mens vi rejser gennem hjertet af byen og dens naturskønne omgivelser. Vi starter med at køre langs Fore Street, en charmerende historisk vej, der løber parallelt med en af Nordamerikas sidste fungerende kystlinjer. Vi vil passere stenede gader, mursten række bygninger, og nogle af Portlands mest ikoniske butikker, bryggerier og restauranter - mange huser i byens ældste kommercielle og boligstrukturer. Blandingen af gamle verden charme og moderne energi gør dette kvarter en lokal favorit.
Gå rundt i Fort Williams Park hjem til Portland Head Light! Et af de mest fotograferede fyrtårne i verden! Med klippevandringer, mindesmærker og betagende udsigter, vil du være i stand til at tage billeder, besøge fyrtårnsmuseet/gavebutikken "maj-september" og også snuppe en bid/godbid ved et par af parkens food trucks, hummerruller, chowder , gelato, whoopie tærter!
Spring Point Ledge Light vi vil parkere og stoppe i 10 minutter. Her vil din guide opdele betydningen af dette fyrtårn, som er beliggende ude på en 900 fods granitbølgebryder, tidlige 1800-tals militære afdrag i området og naturskønne udsigter over vores kystøer Casco Bay! Spørg venligst din guide om billeder taget under dette stop.
Her ved Portland Breakwater Light, kendt som "Bug Light" for lokalbefolkningen, får du 20 minutter til at besøge et af Maines mindste fyrtårne, der stadig er i drift. Med smukke græske korintiske søjler er dette fyrtårn beliggende på en meget kortere/sikker bølgebryder, hvor du vil være i stand til at gå ud og nyde en fantastisk udsigt over Portlands havnefront!
Når vi afslutter vores tur, kører vi gennem Commercial Street, får du et glimt af en af Nordamerikas sidste fungerende kystlinjer. Denne ikoniske strækning i Portlands gamle havn distrikt har stenede gader, fiskerhammer fra det 19. århundrede og travle pærer, der stadig bruges af lobstermænd og lokale fiskere. Du vil også se en levende blanding af butikker, restauranter og pubber, alle placeret inden for nogle af byens ældste mursten / granit bygninger.

Brief overview of 3 lighthouses, beer tasting before/after the tour. The guide was really good sharing experiences, history, and tidbits. At the first lighthouse and park, we had lobster rolls from one of the food trucks. Out of this world good! There was a ton of lobster meat in the roll and the roll was a nicely buttered and toasted bread (not a hot dog roll). A great experience so that we know where to go back to and take time at the Rosie-the-Riveter exhibit.
Eric is very knowledgeable and passionate about Portland! This was a perfect 2ish hour tour to view the lighthouses and learn the history. Would highly recommend!
