We invite you to enjoy the variety of Cape Cod! A pine-scented peninsula extending seventy miles into the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Cod is rich in history and bursting with unique and interesting activities. Just a short distance offshore is what has been described as “among the best whale watching in the world”. Onshore, there is enchantment at every turn. Countless historic sites and landmarks tell the proud role Cape Cod has played in American history beginning with the Pilgrims first landing in 1620. It is truly a magical place built on the shifting sands left behind from the last great Ice Age. Enjoy a wonderful tour to Nantucket as part of your itinerary. Our personal guide from the Cape will stay with us for the duration of our stay and will provide a wealth of knowledge as we visit Hyannis, Martha’s Vineyard, Provincetown and our whale-watching excursion. Do not forget to bring your cameras!
