Newport to Nantucket

Cape Cod Adventures begin with a spectacular
day of cycling around the Newport, Rhode
Island Mansions. Groups will step back in
time as they tour famous mansions like the
Breakers and explore the picturesque harbor
at Newport. On the Cape, trippers will
experience all the beauty that has attacked
vacationers for decades, cycling past cranberry bogs and through sun-drenched seaside villages sampling ice cream and
sticky sweet saltwater taffy. Groups will ferry to both MarthaÕs Vineyard and Nantucket encountering seagulls and lobsters
on the docks of quaint fishing villages. After exploring the old whaling port of Nantucket, your group will stay in a hostel right on the
beach!

ocean swimming followed by an evening cookout in a sand pit on the beach. Experience the unique character of Providence
town and the majesty of the sea on whale watching expedition. The group will then ferry to Boston for a day of sightseeing
on the Freedom Trail and a special behind the scenes tour of the Boston Aquarium
