Mariner’s Light: The Lighthouse Cruise: Enjoy a leisurely 14-mile round trip boat ride with unsurpassed views of York’s elegant homes and rocky coast as you circle the seldom seen back side of Nubble Lighthouse. In 1874, President Rutherford B. Hayes appropriated the sum of $15,000 to build a lighthouse on this “Nub” of land. The men and women serving in the Lighthouse Service were the first guardians who provided great care for the light and its surrounding buildings. Today, the Nubble Lighthouse is on the National Register of Historic Places to preserve and protect its historical presence in history. $300 per person - includes transportation and staff escort as well as a selection of boxed lunches.
Historic & Haunted: From Village to Sea to Lighthouse: Explore the ghostly tales and legends of Old York Village with the author of the local bestselling book “Haunted York County” Roxie J. Zwicker. Walk in the shadows of 300 years of mysterious history and discover the many lingering ghost stories. Enjoy spooky tales from the Old Gaol, which served as a prison from 1719 to 1860 and is one of the oldest British Public Buildings in America. $250 per person - includes transportation and guide as well as a selection of boxed lunches.
The Maine Way of Life: Maine Scenery, Villages & the Coast with Shopping!: First off, we head into York to the famous Stonewall Country Kitchens. Over 30 years ago, in 1991, Stonewall Kitchen started with a small table at the local farmers’ market, displaying a few dozen items that were finished with hand-labeling only hours before. Today, this company is one of the most awarded and recognized specialty food brands in the country, boasting a line that includes jams, mustards, baking mixes, fun gadgets, seasonal culinary ideas and more!
Leaving Stonewall, guests will be shuttled over to meander down Marginal Way, a scenic coastal path with extraordinary views; the walk is about 1.25 miles and 20 minutes, with many benches to stop and take in the views of the sea and beaches.
Marginal Way ends in the small turn-of-the-century fishing village Perkins Cove, where guests can shop, or just take in the local village life. Perkins Cove is about as cute a fishing village as you will find. Complete with a manually operated drawbridge, delightful little seaside shops, eateries, restaurants, and ocean views, this is a perfect place to spend the end of your day.
$200 per person - includes transportation, guide and a box lunch from the Stonewall Cafe.
