Overall a really great experience with some hands-on interactions with lobsters (banding the claws, holding them for selfies) and were even some crabs! Captain Craig gave us a very detailed and entertaining tour. Definitely recommend this one!
This was a wonderful experience! Our family group ranged from age 6 to 69 and our guide Craig was knowledgeable and very personable. We learned a lot about lobstering and got some hands-on experience banding lobsters. The owners of the company welcomed us at the start and sent us on our way at the end with lemonade, baked goodies and fresh local strawberries. Would recommend this experience very highly—five stars!
Great excursion with Craig to all his favorite spots, learned so much from him about the history and importance of lobsters in the area….and a great sense of humor!
We booked our Lobsters and Legacy trip last minute and were not disappointed. Our amazing tour guide, Craig, kept the entire trip fun, engaging, and highly educational. He answered every single question our kids had while ensuring everyone got hands-on time with the lobsters. If you prefer a smaller, personalized tour with direct interaction, I highly recommend this experience.
Thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed your experience with Craig!
