FULL DAY TOURS

Nantucket Day
Take a step back in time on the island of Nantucket. Once one of the world’s leading whaling ports, “the little grey lady” has maintained its incredibly quaint and unspoiled appearance. It’s easy to imagine life of historic Nantucket Town as it was as you walk the cobblestone streets and brick sidewalks. There are several options for traveling to Nantucket: regular ferry, high-speed ferry, flying, or a combination of any two. When arriving on Island it is very easy for attendees to be on their own as all of the attractions are within walking distance, or individuals may choose to wander the shops along the main streets.

Provincetown
Spend the day at the tip of the Cape! Enjoy the unique experience that is Provincetown, the renowned artist and fishing community, a town rich in history that celebrates its cultural diversity.

Upon arrival in Provincetown, there are many options on how to spend your afternoon:

Whale Watch
There’s nothing like the thrill of seeing the largest creatures on earth up close in their native habitat. And Cape Cod is one of the best places in the world to see them! We will take a boat out of Provincetown Harbor and travel out to Stellwagen Bank, a prime whale feeding ground.

Dune Tour
Take a one-hour journey to the outer reaches of the Cape Cod National Seashore. You’ll see a part of Cape Cod that is rarely seen as you travel through fragrant pine woods, fields of beach grass and beach plum, and of course, through the sand dunes. You will see the beach shacks of yesteryear, where many famous writers and artists lived.

Whydah Museum
Cape Cod has much folklore surrounding the early settlers and one of the most famous is the story of the pirate ship Whydah. The Whydah sank off of Marconi Beach in 1717 with a crew of nearly 150 men and the treasures of almost 50 captured vessels. According to legend, Captain Sam Bellamy was returning to Cape Cod to marry his true love when he ran into a nor’easter and sank while she watched helplessly from the shore. In 1984 the Whydah was discovered and its treasures have been brought up ever since. The Expedition Whydah Museum is dedicated to the only documented pirate ship ever discovered and all of the treasures that have been raised.

Provincetown on own
Provincetown offers many activities that are sure to please or you may choose to spend the afternoon at leisure wandering the streets of this unique town. Provincetown is where the history of the New World actually began – the Mayflower first landed in Provincetown in 1620 before proceeding to Plymouth. The Pilgrims stayed in Provincetown for 5 weeks before seeking a more protected harbor. You can spend the afternoon learning the history of the area through many museums, or you may want to stroll Commercial Street and enjoy its unique shops, galleries, and restaurants.
