5.00The boat tour around Casco Bay was fantastic! The crew and our guide were all very friendly and helpful as we cruised around the bay and saw several lighthouses and other interesting sites. They also serve beverages on board which, for the adult variety, were reasonably priced.
Awesome experience.

5.00Really a great way to see Portland and learn the history of the area. The guide was very knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Grab a seat inside as it gets cold on the upper deck early.
