Outdoor Adventures in Boston

From the Charles River to the Harbor, and Boston Common to the Rose Kennedy Greenway, Boston offers an abundance of outdoor activities. Rent a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard from Paddle Boston and navigate calm waters to enjoy serene views of one of America’s most historic cities.
The Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park comprise 34 islands and peninsulas which offer an oasis easily reached by ferry from the city. Islands range from rustic retreats to family-friendly hubs with plenty of activities.
Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick was inspired by real events off the New England coast. The Whale Watching season, which runs from May to October, offers visitors the opportunity to view these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. The Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary is a rich feeding ground for whales including humpbacks, finbacks, rights and minkes.
