Authentic Boston Experiences

With a combination of over 30 islands rich in history, walking trails, and beauty, the Boston Harbor Islands are a fascinating location for hiking. Different trails provide pathways and terrains characterised by coastal paths and gentle hills, ideal for hiking and outdoor exploration.

Perfect for a group experience, hop aboard Boston Duck Tours and enjoy a fully narrated, historic tour of Boston in a "DUCK", a WWII style amphibious landing craft that travels on land and water. You'll cruise by all the places that make Boston the birthplace of freedom and a city of firsts, before the tour gets waterborne on the Charles River for a breathtaking view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines.
