Seven Portland Lighthouses Tour
Beskrivelse
Mens vi krydser farvandet omkring Portland Harbor, stopper vi ved Portland Breakwater Light, Spring Point Light og Ram Island Ledge Light, før vi stopper ved Maines ældste og mest ikoniske fyrtårn, Portland Headlight. Dette historiske fyrtårn, med sin slående arkitektur og skarpe kystbaggrund, er et syn at se fra Atlanterhavets perspektiv, som søfarende har gjort i mere end 200 år. Efter billeder og information om dette ikoniske fyrtårn fortsætter vi turen langs Cape Elizabeths klippekyster til Two Lights State Park, hvis tvillingefyrtårne ligger på toppen af dramatiske klipper. Vores bedste chance for dyreliv kommer i løbet af den næste del af turen, mens vi krydser åbent vand til Halfway Rock Lighthouse, et sandt maritimt levn. Den står stolt på en afsidesliggende afsats i det åbne hav og har guidet søfolk gennem tyk tåge og turbulent vand i over et århundrede. Sæler findes ofte hængende på klipperne og æder sig i de næringsrige farvande.

Portland Breakwater Lighthouse, også kendt som Bug Light, er et charmerende historisk vartegn beliggende i South Portland, Maine, og tilbyder en dejlig destination for turister. Bygget i 1875 tjente dette ikoniske fyrtårn som et fyrtårn for skibe, der sejler i Portland Harbor og Casco Bay. I dag kan besøgende beundre dets maleriske røde, ottekantede tårn og den fantastiske udsigt over havnefronten, hvilket gør det til et perfekt sted for sightseeing og fotografering. Uanset om du er historieelsker, naturelsker eller blot søger en rolig flugt, lover Portland Breakwater Lighthouse en mindeværdig oplevelse for alle, der besøger.

We had a great time! I totally recommend this tour to other visitors. The only way to see some of the lighthouses on this tour is by water.
This was one of the highlights of our vacation. SUPER RIDE! We saw all the lighthouses. The crew were outstanding in sharing knowledge of the area. We saw lots of Harbor Seals. The ride was exhilarating and must do for this spot! We will definitely do this again on our next trip.
Our tour was cancelled due to small craft warning. We cannot reschedule due to other tours scheduled in Vermont. Please refund $$$ full amount.
Was scary at first because of the speed, but captain is knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. Tour in itself was amazing.
Nice to see all the different lighthouses and hear about the history behind them. Matt was very was welcoming and made the trip very enjoyable!
Tour was canceled 2 hrs before, no reason given. No alternatives. This after getting a confirmation it was going to happen just an hour before. Still no refund received.
Hi Ronald, Thank you for your feedback, and I’m truly sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations. I’d like to offer some clarification regarding the situation. The tour was unfortunately canceled due to a family emergency involving our captain, which was entirely out of our control. In the email we sent, which you confirmed reading, we clearly offered you the same tour either the following day or on Saturday. We were more than happy to accommodate a reschedule. You mentioned receiving a confirmation only three hours before the trip. However, our reminder emails are sent 24 hours in advance, so it’s unclear what that message may have been. We’re happy to look into that further if needed. Importantly, we did not receive a response from you regarding whether you preferred to reschedule or receive a refund. Without that confirmation, we did not process anything on our end, as we were waiting to hear from you. As for the refund process, please note that TripAdvisor handles the payment—we do not receive any funds until the tour is completed. We are responsible for initiating the refund, but from there it is entirely in TripAdvisor's hands. If you had responded to our email, we would have gladly directed you to them for follow-up or to request a refund from them. We completely understand your disappointment and truly regret the inconvenience. However, we do feel this situation—and the resulting review—does not accurately reflect our team’s level of communication, professionalism, or the service we strive to provide. Of the five parties scheduled for the same tour, four were able to reschedule or be refunded successfully, and we were more than willing to do the same for you. Again, we apologize for the cancellation, but safety and unforeseen circumstances are part of operating on the water, and we do our best to communicate quickly, clearly, and fairly when these situations arise.
Fun experience. The company was very good with communication and told us to dress for 20 degrees cooler on the water which we were grateful for. The seats were almost like a saddle which was very comfortable
Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re glad you had a fun and comfortable experience—and we really appreciate you noting our pre-trip communication. Dressing for cooler temperatures on the water can make all the difference, and we’re happy it helped you enjoy the ride. The saddle-style seats are definitely a unique feature, designed for stability and comfort on high-speed adventures, and it's great to hear they worked well for you! Thanks again for joining us—we’d love to welcome you back for another adventure soon! ⚓💨🌊
Awesome zodiac ride with Captain Chris and Neil. Beautiful lighthouses on a beautiful day. Really fun tour!!!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re thrilled you had a fun and memorable zodiac ride with Captain Chris and Neil—two of the best out there! Cruising past those beautiful lighthouses on a gorgeous day is hard to beat, and we’re so glad you were part of it. We appreciate you joining us and hope to see you back for another adventure soon! ⚓☀️🗺️
Fantastic! Weather was perfect and the boat ride around to the lighthouses was awesome. We stopped at each light plenty of time to take photos. Our captain and first mate were so informative. Thoroughly enjoyed and thoroughly recommend.
Thank you so much for the incredible review! We’re honored to hear this was a Top 5 excursion for you—that means the world to us! Seeing whales, sharks, and porpoises all in one trip is nothing short of amazing, and Captain Chris and Neal will be thrilled to know they helped make your experience unforgettable. 🐋🦈🐬 There’s truly nothing like witnessing whales up close, and we’re so glad we got to share that moment with you. We’d love to have you back anytime for another adventure on the water!
The tour was canceled about seven hours before we were to board. I am trying desperately to get a refund from Viator as the tour company told me they cannot help because I booked through Viator.
Thanks for reaching out. Since your tour was booked through Viator, the refund must be requested directly through them. As the tour operator, we don't receive any payment until after the tour runs—so all cancellations and refunds are processed by Viator. To request your refund: Go to your confirmation email from Viator. Click “Manage Booking” or log in to your Viator account. You’ll see the option to request a refund for cancelled tours. If you need help, Viator’s customer service is very responsive and can assist directly. Let us know if there’s anything else we can do on our end!
