TL;DR: Save your cash. The ride was loud, the sights we were shown were stores and restaurants on Main Street, a rock that they joked was bought on eBay, the ferry to the islands, a lighthouse that isn't really a lighthouse,and the Cape Cod hospital.the tour was lean on Kennedy sites - just passing by the St. Francis of Xavier church where Arnie and Maria were hitched We endured the awful dad-jokes delivered by the driver and Jungle Cruise Skipper-wannabe, drama-school dropout tour-guide. At the end of the tour, the driver flipped his kid on a delivery guy who was parked in his spot. The plus side was that our four year old had an enjoyable time.
15 of us were going on the 11am tour. Driver and guide were friendly and informative. Until....the boat died in the water in the bay. We were stranded for an hour. A mechanic eventually came to help. When they said to unboard the mechanic, the guide and the driver NEVER said sorry! Then they sent 1 cab for ALL people on the boat. We just decided to walk all the way back to tour ~20'mins. We had children with us and it was summer hot weather. When asked for a refund, we were granted. But when we asked for us to come back another day complimentary they said absolutely not and would have to pay again. As we were on vacation this just wasted our whole afternoon. It was such a waste and the customer service was just rude. At the office still no one said sorry for the inconvenience. I'd suggest and keep your fingers crossed but be prepared to be floating around the bay and wasting a vacation afternoon....

We booked this excursion 1.5 hours before our scheduled departure time. When we arrived 1 hour later the claimed the boat was "broken" however they loaded up people for the next booking and refused to allow us on, refund our monies or transfer us to another day. We had to file a fraud claim with our credit card to get a refund. The employee behind the desk said there is no guarantee for any booking and their no transfer policy is applicable even if THEY cancel. When asked to speak with a manager she advised he was not able to speak with customers. He was in the back room. Consumers beware!!! This is not the kind of establishment you want to give your funds to. Go to Boston instead where they value their customers.
Lame. We'd seen Duck tours going around Boston and always wanted to try them. So, when we saw them while walking around Hyannis we figured we'd give it a shot. I suspect they do their job fairs outside the old age home and the High School drama club meetings. The entire time we were on the tour all we kept hearing about is how the tour "could be better but they weren't allowed to travel there" and they were giving plugs to restaurants on the route. There was minimal historical significance when en route and being subjected to the constant snarky remarks and self deprecation which is demonstrated by the tour guides was obnoxious. The only redeeming quality to the tour is when the vehicle goes into the water for the short 10-15 minute ride. If only the guides would be quiet long enough for people to enjoy it... UGH. Luckily the tour was relatively inexpensive. Though the guides continue to remind you throughout the trip that they accept tips. I neglected to leave anything and high tailed it out of there. Stay away!
Came here last summer (2017); it was my first time on a duckmobile tour and it was excellent! I forget their names, but the driver and the speaker were both older gentlemen and had plenty of jokes and knowledge to keep their visitors interested throughout the entire tour. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would come back if I'm ever in the area!
We bought tickets at 11 am for the 4:00 ride. We arrived back at the shop at the suggested arrival time of 345. All the seats were taken. There were a couple of single seats far apart on the boat. People were allowed to save 6 seats for others who were not even there yet. The boat company has a policy of no refunds so they closed the shop and said sorry no refunds. Take the separated seats or leave . We left . Horrible customer service and absolutely no attempt to help us!
Don't bother. I have done the duck tour in Boston (which is great) in the past, so wanted to check this one out while in the area on vacation a few years ago, made the reservation the morning of for a Sunday afternoon and it was canceled minutes before it was to start due a low turnout. We headed home that evening and were disappointed that we had missed it, so planned to try again if we ever returned. Cut to about a month ago, when another Cape Cod trip was booked and I checked on their website to see if they were offering any weekday tours as that is when our trip fell. Tickets were available for purchase for tours on Friday, June 12th, the last day of our planned vacation, and I didn't purchase them that day but made a mental note to do so closer to the date. Today, the week before, I saw a Groupon for Duckmobiles and purchased it. I then called the number provided to make a reservation for the 6/12 tour, had to listen to a recorded message twice stating that weekday tours started in mid June (which is vague) and then listened to their ear piercing hold music for 10 minutes with no answer before I hung up and went back on the website. Their schedule has now been changed so that the tour I was planning to purchase is no longer available. Luckily, I was able to cancel the Groupon, but the second experience with the company really put a bad taste in my mouth. They obviously change their schedule and cancel tours on a whim, instead of holding themselves accountable to their customers. I now have a literal headache (from the music) and think it's ridiculous that planning a sightseeing tour could be this much of a figurative one! Get it together, people! If you only find Saturday tours profitable, fine. Then just do one day a week and stick to it, instead of jerking those trying to give you business around!!!
Been to Hyannis my entire life. Today, on a whim we decided to try this. A quick 45 min tour down main st and into the harbor. The guide and Drivet were very good. Check it out!
If you're looking for a tour that offers any type of historical information about the city you're in, this tour is not for you. This is really just a funny, good time. The tour guides were funny in an odd sort of way and gave random facts about different places that we drove by, which were mostly places to eat. It was fun going into the water. It was a big foggy that day, so we didn't get to see some things they wanted to show us in the harbor. Besides the chilly weather, it was a good time.
This could have been fun but it was terrible. I feel like they made it awful on purpose almost as a "gotcha!". They could have made it better by literally doing anything other than what they did. Total waste of time and money.

Monomoy Island Excursion
Monomoy Island Excursions is a family owned and operated business in Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Massachussets. For over 10 years we’ve been taking people out to Monomoy , a barrier island and wildlife refuge off the coast of Chatham,MA, where thousands of seals have made their home.
While seals are the main attraction on our cruise, there is a lot more to see! We visit Wychmere Harbor , in Harwich Port. This is one of the most scenic harbors on the Cape! We also stop in to Stage Harbor in Chatham, where you get a close up view of Stage Harbor Lighthouse and see Chatham Lighthouse . Not to mention the combination of large yachts, small sailboats, and various fishing boats that fill each harbor. You get a real taste of the sea life on Nantucket Sound .
We run seal cruises several times a day, generally lasting 1 1/2 hours. While we see lots of harbor seals and gray seals, Monomoy is also home to hundreds of species of birds and other wildlife. There is a trained naturalist on board who narrates the tour and can answer questions about the wildlife as well as the history of the island and the historic Monomoy Lighthouse .

Sea Ducks on Cape Cod – A Lethal Journey?
By Wild Care Executive Director, Stephanie Ellis Cover photo: Common Eider, by Kimberly Wordell Robbins.
Every fall marks the annual arrival of tens of thousands of sea ducks that winter off the shores of Cape Cod. Many of these birds have migrated thousands of miles from their Arctic breeding grounds, and from boreal forest wetlands and lakes of northern Canada and Alaska. Sea ducks like *Common Eider, Long-Tailed Ducks, Surf and White-winged Scoter, arrive in great numbers. They win
ter here to take refuge from northern climates, find abundant food, and to seek mates before they head north again the following spring.
Shortly after the arrival of the sea ducks, begins the arrival of sport hunters. “There is a huge economy on Cape Cod for duck hunting boat tours. People come from all over the country to hunt ducks here,” states Stephanie Ellis, Executive Director of Wild Care, Inc. “We have colorful and beautiful coastal ducks that winter here in these nutrient rich waters. They are highly sought after by hunters for sport, taxidermy, and occasionally for food and dog treats.” Between Oct. 16, 2021 and Jan 22, 2022, hunters can be found targeting sea ducks in designated coastal locations on Cape Cod and other New England waters.
“At Wild Care, we rehabilitate orphaned, injured and sick wildlife. We absolutely love these ducks and embrace their arrival every fall. They make a long journey here, facing many obstacles along the way. Needless to say, we are not fans of sport hunting. It is my only hope that sport hunters follow the hunting regulations, and behave ethically.”
Hunters are required to make every effort possible to retrieve all birds killed or crippled from hunting. In MA, there is a prohibition against wanton waste.
Even so, birds do get away, and they often end up at Wild Care. “We want people to be on the lookout for injured birds, and to please call us. It is not normal to find a sea duck laying around on the beach to the point where it is approachable. This is not nature taking its course. If you find an injured duck or other wildlife, please contact Wild Care’s Wildlife Helpline, 508-240-2255 from 9AM – 5PM, 365 days per year.”
Every fall and winter, Wild Care receives numerous species of waterfowl – ducks and geese suffering from various ailments, some related to storm events. “In 2021, we received 46 sea ducks representing 6 different species. Five of these birds had been shot. Sometimes we can repair the injuries, but other times, they suffer crippling and irreparable gunshot injuries. In these cases, we elect humane euthanasia to alleviate the animal’s suffering.”
Sea duck hunting with shotguns has been taking place for hundreds of years, and duck hunting in general goes back to prehistoric times. “Duck hunting is not going away. Our goal is to encourage people to report injured ducks, and to be aware of illegal duck hunting activity, and report it to the appropriate officials.”
The following activities are prohibited and reportable to the Massachusetts Environmental Police, related to coastal sea duck hunting.
Please contact the MA Environmental Police 24-hour Dispatch, 800-632-8075 to report illegal activity.
This information is courtesy of The Massachusetts Environmental Police.
Prohibited in Massachusetts (Related to coastal sea duck hunting):
-Hunting outside of designated waterfowl season (Coastal Zone: Oct. 16, 2021 – Jan 22, 2022)
-Hunting after designated hours (Ducks can be hunted ½ hour prior to sunrise. Hunting ends at sunset.)
-Use of baiting (food), electronic calls or live animals as decoys
-Intentional failure to retrieve deceased or crippled prey
-Hunting from a power vessel, wind or sailboat, unless vessels are powered off and anchored. (Unless you have crippled a duck and you are trying to retrieve it.)
-Rallying – the act of driving or herding ducks into a specific location to be hunted
-Hunting within 500 ft of a dwelling in use.
-Discharging a firearm within 150 ft of a road
-Shooting at endangered species, or other bird species that are not legally hunted
-Use of a firearm capable of holding more than three rounds of ammunition
-Possession in excess of designated daily bag limit or possession limit. See Mass.gov Migratory Game Bird Regulations.

The duckmobile, which has been in business since 1995, gives 45-minute tours around Hyannis, starting on land highlighting important sites and history, such as John F. Kennedy’s legacy, before plunging into Hyannis Harbor to offer views of waterfront homes and lighthouses. The tour company, Cape Cod Tours Inc., is the only duck boat tour on the Cape, and it is only the second in Massachusetts.
Its insurance company has decided not to renew coverage of any amphibious vehicles, Jon Britton, co-owner of Cape Cod Tours Inc., said.
“The insurance companies just said they don’t want the negative exposure,” Britton said. “They told us last year they weren’t going to renew us, but we already had our renewal letter so we got another year out of it.”
Duckmobile tours have received negative spotlight after serious accidents, such as the capsizing of a duck boat last July in Branson, Missouri, that left 17 people dead and seven others injured.
Cape Cod Duckmobiles hasn’t had any issues, and many other companies haven’t either, Britton said. He thinks the accident in Branson was the “final straw” for insurance companies.
The duckmobile tours have been a declining national trend. There were once six duck tours in Massachusetts, Britton said, and now there are only two, his as well as one in Boston. He has also sold two of his duck boats to businesses in Canada.
“We wanted to go out on our terms. We wanted to sell the business and retire, and now we don’t have anything to sell. We have to liquidate,” Britton said. “Some things are out of your control, and this is out of our control. We just have to accept the fact.”
Britton said the end of the duckmobile tours will be a big loss for Main Street, as it brings in about 400 to 500 people a day.
“We see them all day long, walking around, buying stuff and having lunch,” Britton said. “It’s going to be a huge loss for Main Street.”
Elizabeth Wurfbain, executive director of the Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District, said the duck boat tours will be missed, but she thinks something else could come to fulfill a similar role, such as trolley tours.
“I think that anything that goes away that is exciting is a loss in some way, so of course the tourist business will feel the difference,” Wurfbain said. “Maybe it will open up an opportunity for something else that can come in that plays that role. We don’t know yet what that will be.”
Although he said he's too young to retire,Britton, 64, said he wants to slow down. He plans to run children’s fishing tours on a regular boat that should be up and running next season, he said. He also wants to spend more time with his wife, Doreen, who is a schoolteacher, and spend more time going to Sandy Neck Beach.
“We had a great ride, but it’s time to move on,” Britton said.
Rachel Jareb, a visitor from California, went on the duck tour for the first time Wednesday with her family. She said it was fun and would like to go on another one in a different place.
“It was pretty cool,” Jareb said. “It was neat that it went in the water, too.”

Cape Cod Duckmobiles in Hyannis ending tours after 24 years in business

A Cape Cod tourism staple is coming to an end after 24 years of business.
Cape Cod Duckmobiles, which is part of Cape Cod Tours Inc., will give its last tour on Aug. 22 after failing to secure insurance for the coming year, according to the Cape Cod Times.
Jon Britton, co-owner of Cape Cod Tours Inc., opened the duck tour business with his wife Doreen in 1995 after taking a duck tour in Boston. and wanting to bring the experience to the Cape.
The tours take visitors through downtown Hyannis, hitting up the John F. Kennedy Memorial and nearby beaches.

“It came up and it grabbed the fish and then it made a circular leap to get back in the water and go away,” Captain Marc Costa said. “It actually slapped the boat with its tail.”
Britton told the Times that the business’ insurance provider didn’t want to renew coverage for amphibious vehicles because of the negative press surrounding duck boats accidents.
He added that despite Cape Cod Duckmobiles never having an issue, he thinks the decision was made after a duck boat accident in Branson, Missouri, killed 17 people and injured seven.

He also said that Duckmobiles have been a declining trend, but that the people the tour carries to Main Street in Hyannis will be missed.
According to capecod.com , Britton plans to continue to operate Cape Cod Tours, but aims to slow down and spend more time with family.

Greetings, and welcome to Wellfleet!
A word of introduction: I began POSTCARD HARBOR TOURS in 2010, with my 18-foot Marshall Sanderling catboat GALA VI. After eleven successful years with her, I “moved up” and purchased my current vessel, the Marshall 22 catboat EPISTROPHY. She is expanding the Wellfleet catboat experience with more room and even greater comfort and stability, for which catboats are justifiably renowned.
Among its other unique attributes, Wellfleet possesses one of the finest, most picturesque and most varied natural harbors on the Cape-and what better way to experience it than from the cockpit of a genuine Cape Cod-style Catboat, of the type which has plied these waters since around the time of the Civil War.
As far as is known, catboats-defined by their plumb bows, mast all the way forward with one sail, wide beam and sea-kindly nature-were developed in the Newport, R.I. area and quickly worked their way northeast to Cape Cod and the Islands, with their shape and design changing to meet local needs. They were a staple of the inshore fishing industry and, especially in this area, of the shellfish industry. With the advent of the internal combustion engine around 1902, local fishermen simply installed their favorite “one-lunger” and eventually got rid of the mast and sail. Some of their descendents (sans masts) were still in use into the post-WW-2 era, and I can remember seeing (and playing on) their bones in the mud of Duck Creek when I was a child. The traditionally-designed catboat says “Cape Cod” just as loudly as our lighthouses and salt-box cottages, and have been featured on postcards since tourism became popular.
So-grab your sunscreen, your favorite floppy hat and your camera, board EPISTROPHY and let’s head out to explore Wellfleet by sea!

Top-Rated Sightseeing Cruise in Orleans, MA ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
I’ve been coming to Cape Cod for 15 years and of all the experiences I’ve had here (whale watching tours, fishing boat excursions, etc), this was one of my top favorite things I’ve enjoyed doing. Captain Rob is a wealth of knowledge and tells great stories- without sounding scripted like some tours. He knew exactly where to take us to see the seals up close and the boat was very comfortable and spacious for our group of 6 adults and 3 children. I’d recommend Blue Claw for a fun way to get on the water and see some wildlife!
I live here, in Centerville, and my family has been coming to visit for years. I am always looking for great cape experiences for them to enjoy. Blue Claw Boat Tours ranks among the best! Captain Rob shared fun and interesting facts. His pleasant and friendly demeanor truly made our seal excursion memorable.
We went on a seal tour and it was fantastic. Captain Rob Wissmann was super knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. He took time to slow or stop around numerous points of interest and explained quite a bit about the surrounding towns and area history. He was incredibly friendly and great with the kids. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anybody that enjoys being on the water and seeing the local wildlife. My kids were asking of we could go back immediately after getting in the car which is always a good sign.
We had a wonderful time on this tour! Captain Rob was knowledgeable and friendly. Very enjoyable to see a part of the Cape from the water. We added a drive by the Chatham lighthouse and it was worth it! And the seals!! Such a treat to see them! Even though the sun didn’t cooperate with us much that day, we still had a wonderful time! It’s a fun tour and I highly recommend it.
We went for my daughter’s 4th birthday because she loves seals. Captain Rob is super friendly with a great sense of humor and made us feel welcomed. Boat was sanitized, hand sanitizer available before we boarded, and he wore a mask the whole time. Excellent tour guide with interesting stories and he shared facts about the area and sea life. Highly recommend Blue Claw Boat Tours!

30 ways to have the perfect Cape Cod vacation
From the canal to provincetown, a guide to old, new, and unforgettable experiences on the cape..
W hether it’s an ice cream cone after a day at the beach or kicking back with a cocktail while taking in a spectacular view, Cape Cod has few rivals when it comes to the classic summer vacation. But that doesn’t mean things never change. From old standbys to some new surprises, here’s a guide to eating, playing, and making memories on the Cape.
1. Cape Cod Baseball League
You don’t have to go to an Iowa cornfield to see baseball at its purest. Some 350 active Major Leaguers got their start playing in the Cape League, one of the country’s premier collegiate summer leagues. It’s also the last to use wooden bats, just like the pros. Games are so intimate that you hear every smack of the ball in the glove. Between mid-June and mid-August, each of the 10 teams, representing towns from Wareham to Orleans, plays 44 games, followed by a post-season tourney. Admission is by donation. Various locations. –Patricia Harris and David Lyon
2. Shining Sea Bikeway, Falmouth
South of the Bourne Bridge, find the paved 10.7-mile Shining Sea Bikeway rail trail from North Falmouth to Woods Hole. Hop on your bike and make a stop for candy at Uncle Bill’s Country Store. Once you and your crew are satisfactorily sugared up, set off for sweeping views of harbors, salt marshes, cranberry bogs, and the Vineyard Sound. Refuel with fried seafood, ice cream, or a pint in Woods Hole before heading back, bone-tired but tear-free. Parking lot at County Road and Route 151. Uncle Bill’s Country Store, 412 North Falmouth Highway, North Falmouth, 508-564-4355 –Julie Suratt

3. Pirate’s Cove, South Yarmouth
This iconic mini-golf franchise Pirate’s Cove towers over Route 28, with 36 holes spread over a mini-mountain of caverns, pirate ships, mannequins, twisting paths, and water hazards. There’s also the appropriate soundtrack: Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate’s life for me. On cloudy days and nice summer evenings, expect to wait on every hole — all part of the experience. (Or head down Route 28 and have your choice of themed mini-golf courses: Skull Island Adventure Golf and Sports World, Wild Animal Lagoon, or Putters Paradise.) Adults from $13.50, children $12.50; 3 and under, free. 728 Main Street, 508-394-6200; check website for schedule – Susan Moeller
4. Dig Your Own Clams, Harwich
No clams taste as sweet as those you dig yourself. Harwich makes it easy with a $30 per day shellfishing permit available from the harbor master’s office, where you can also purchase a shellfish gauge to measure your catch and get advice on where to dig. You’ll need your own clam rake and a 10-quart bucket or mesh bag. Bring a charcoal or gas grill, a steamer pot, potatoes, and corn to set up a DIY clambake on some nearby Chatham beaches, where grills are allowed (secluded Jackknife Cove is a local favorite). Harbor master’s office, 715 Main Street, 508-430-7532 – Patricia Harris and David Lyon
5. PB Boulangerie Bistro, Wellfleet
Cape Cod may be known for its seafood, but don’t sleep on this award-winning spot for French pastries, baked goods, and more. Set in the woods just off Route 6 on the Outer Cape, the bright, colorful PB Boulangerie Bistro is a combination bakery and restaurant that features incredible takes on baguettes, eclairs, tarts, madeleines, quiche, croque monsieur, and sweet and savory croissants, including a sublime ham and cheese version. The bakery is open year-round (except for a brief break in February); the bistro is open from late spring to the fall. 15 LeCount Hollow Road, 508-349-1600 – Marc Hurwitz
6. The Brewster Store, Brewster
This circa 1866 general store was once housed Brewster’s post office. Now it’s a charming portal to the past. Think playthings of yore, jars of penny candy, and an actual working nickelodeon. Shelves are stocked with kitchen utensils, souvenirs, books, Marshmallow Fluff, you name it — and that’s just the Brewster Store’s first floor. Go up the creaky staircase and discover crafting items, a miniature model of the general store, handmade doll clothes, and jigsaw puzzles — so many jigsaw puzzles! After you leave, don’t forget The Brewster Scoop is right next door. 1935 Main Street, 508-896-3744 – Diane Bair and Pamela Wright
7. Nickerson State Park, Brewster
Lovers of the outdoors will find plenty to do at this popular park, covering more than 1,900 acres of forests and fields, dotted with eight freshwater kettle ponds. If it’s a warm day, take a hike on the Cliff Pond Trail, an easy 3-mile loop around the largest pond in Nickerson State Park, with access to swimming beaches along the way — it’s a palate cleanser from all that ocean exposure. There are more than 8 miles of winding, hilly biking paths, some connecting to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. There’s also boating (rentals available), fishing, and staff-led nature programs. Want to extend your stay? Book a site at one of the eight camping areas within the park. 3488 Main Street, 508-896-3491 – Diane Bair and Pamela Wright
8. Can’t-Miss Ice Cream!
Getting ice cream after a beach day is a treasured part of the Cape experience. And while Centerville’s Four Seas Ice Cream went on the market in February, the good news is the 90-year-old landmark remains open. (The current owners hope whoever buys the property will keep the ice cream churning.)
On the Upper Cape, with kids (and canines) twirling on the lawn, a visit to Twin Acres Ice Cream Shoppe in Sandwich (21 Route 6A, 508-888-0566) feels like an ice cream social of yore. It offers 70-plus flavors — and pup cups. For an in-your-face punch of chocolate, head to Polar Cave Ice Cream Parlour in Mashpee (22 Falmouth Road, 508-477-5553), where the “Death by Chocolate” is a triumph of premium chocolate ice cream swirled with fudge and dark chocolate chips.
On the Mid Cape, Cape Cod Creamery’s homemade ice cream is a longtime favorite, incorporating ingredients such as French cocoa, Madagascar vanilla, and Colombian coffee. Pro tip for newbies: Try the six-mini-scoop sampler. (Open year-round in Hyannis, 645 Iyannough Road, 508-568-3600; Dennis and South Yarmouth outlets open seasonally.)
“If it’s ice cream we make it,” is the slogan at Ice Cream Cafe in Orleans (5 South Orleans Road, 508-240-0003) on the Lower Cape. The made-to-order ice cream sandwiches — homemade ice cream stuffed between chubby cookies from Cottage Street Bakery — would make the Good Humor man weep. At Lewis Brothers Ice Cream in Provincetown (310 Commercial Street, 508-487-0977), favorites include Crystallized Ginger, Lavender Sea Salt, and Beach Plum. Some skew boozier, like Mudslide Chip and Belle de Brillet, all made on site. Look for their solar-powered ice cream truck at Truro Beach. – Diane Bair and Pamela Wright
9. Heritage Museums & Gardens, Sandwich
Since opening in the late 1960s, Heritage Museums & Gardens near Sandwich Village has been a popular place for nature lovers. And with its lush gardens and nature trails, it’s easy to see why. The highlight is its Hydrangea Festival, which takes place in early to mid-July and celebrates a plant that brings vibrant colors to the Cape each year. Tickets for adults $22, youth $12; children under 2 and members free. 67 Grove Street, 508-888-3300 – Marc Hurwitz
10. Kayaking Nauset Marsh, Eastham
Watch for egrets and herons feeding in the shallows and osprey hovering overhead as you paddle through a maze of tidal channels and creeks. This nutrient-rich salt marsh, with small grassy islands and picturesque coves, is protected from the Atlantic Ocean by a large outer sandbar. The water is clear enough to see scurrying fiddler crabs and pools of periwinkles below. Keep your eyes peeled; it’s not uncommon to see seals, too. Great Marsh Kayak Tours ($75 for adults) offers three-hour guided paddling tours. Hemenway Landing, 508-470-4971 – Diane Bair and Pamela Wright
11. Green Briar Nature Center & Jam Kitchen, Sandwich
A jar of sticky fruit jam is a classic Cape Cod souvenir, and you can make your own at this historic 1903 kitchen. The cast-iron burners were converted from kerosene to propane back in the 1930s, but little has changed since, making this a thoroughly old-fashioned experience. Flavors vary with fruits of the season, and participants leave with four to six jars of their own making. The Green Briar Nature Center & Jam Kitchen jam-making workshops (for one adult or one adult with a child age 6 or older) cost $75 for members, $85 for non-members. 6 Discovery Hill Road, 508-888-6870 –Patricia Harris and David Lyon
12. The Boatslip, Provincetown
Ask the Boatslip’s summertime denizens about this landmark bar and they’ll wax poetic. No journey to the end of the Cape is complete without a stop at this beloved gay bar. From June 20, and on selected dates before, the Boatslip hosts daily tea dances — parties from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the open deck. While in the area, find the Provincetown Jetty and walk out to the end of the world — or at least the Cape. 161 Commercial Street, 508-487-1669 – Michael Colbert
13. The Lanes Bowl & Bistro, Mashpee
Kids can handle only so much beach time. Plus, rain happens. Coming to the rescue is The Lanes Bowl & Bistro , a 10-lane, tenpin bowling alley and eatery at Mashpee Commons. Set in an old Shaw’s supermarket, the colorful, comfortable space was created with mostly salvaged materials. Book a lane in advance (up to six people per lane, $30 to $40 per hour depending on time) and bowl your hearts out, or let the kids bowl as you snack on, say, a pulled pork sandwich on a pretzel bun, paired with a Beach Blonde ale from Cape Cod Beer. On good weather days, sit outdoors and play bocce. 9 Greene Street, 774-228-2291 – Diane Bair and Pamela Wright
14. 103rd Annual Mashpee Wampanoag Pawâw, Mashpee
Arrive early to get a good viewing spot for the daily noontime Grand Entry parade of dancers in traditional regalia. It’s one of the highlights of the Mashpee Wampanoag Pawâw, an annual celebration of the culture and traditions of the People of the First Light. From July 5-7, the powwow grounds come alive with music and dance, skills competitions, crafts, and feasting — including a traditional clambake on Sunday. 483 Great Neck Road South – Patricia Harris and David Lyon
15. Get Your Seafood Fix
No trip to the Cape would be complete without a stop at a seafood shack — and options abound, though be sure to check online for opening times. Along the Cape Cod Canal in Sandwich, Seafood Sam’s (6 Coast Guard Road, 508-888-4629) is often the first stop for vacationers, who find heaping seafood platters and fried lobster. There is a location in Falmouth as well.
Near the Bourne Bridge, the Lobster Trap Restaurant (290 Shore Road, 508-759-7600) has served up fresh seafood for more than 50 years. Jim’s Clam Shack in Falmouth (227 Clinton Avenue, 508-540-7758) offers views of Falmouth Harbor and beyond from its picnic tables. On the Mid Cape, Spanky’s Clam Shack in Hyannis (138 Ocean Street, 508-771-2770) is a harborside spot with fried seafood and raw bar items including oysters.
On the Lower Cape, JT’s Seafood Restaurant in Brewster (2689 Main Street, 508-896-3355) is known for its clam chowder and ice cream. Part restaurant and part market, Mac’s Chatham Fish & Lobster (1291 Main Street, 508-945-1173) is a local fave with one of the Cape’s best lobster rolls.
On the Outer Cape, Arnold’s Lobster & Clam Bar in Eastham (3580 US Route 6, 508-255-2575) is famous for its choice of chilled or warm lobster rolls. PJ’s Family Restaurant (2616 US Route 6, Wellfleet, 508-349-2126; opens May 16) includes Portuguese options (kale soup, linguica rolls) along with clam chowder and lobster dinners. – Marc Hurwitz
16. The Adventure Park at Heritage Museums & Gardens, Sandwich
Climb, zipline, and traverse rope bridges at this aerial adventure park, which opened this spring. The Adventure Park at Heritage Museums & Gardens has five color-coded courses — requiring different levels of agility, strength, and courage — that make their way between 60 tree platforms. Yellow courses, for example, are for beginners; double-blacks are recommended for age 14 and older. Safety gear is provided. Although it’s under the auspices of the Heritage Museums & Gardens, the park is operated by Outdoor Venture Group and admission is separate from the gardens. Reservations are a good idea because this is the busy Cape, after all. 67 Grove Street, 508-866-0199 – Susan Moeller
17. Sandy Neck Beach Park, West Barnstable
The Cape Cod National Seashore gets all the love, with good reason, but there’s a closer-to-Boston barrier beach that’s wonderful, and often overlooked: Sandy Neck Beach Park, a 4,700-acre stretch of beach, dunes, maritime forests, and marshes. The beach is rocky — we’re not gonna lie — but Sandy Neck’s true glory lies slightly inland, where foot trails wind into the dunes, linking Cape Cod Bay and the Great Marsh. Hiking up sandy hills is hard work, but oh, those views! Open year-round; parking fee charged from Memorial Day to Labor Day. 425 Sandy Neck Road, 508-362-8300 – Diane Bair and Pamela Wright
18. Stargazing, Outer Cape
It’s easy for city dwellers awash in light pollution to forget how spectacular a star-laden night truly is. Not so on the Outer Cape, which boasts some of the darkest skies in Southern New England. Prime time for stargazing is during the Perseids, the year’s best meteor shower, which runs from mid-July to late August (peaking August 11-12). Head to the Marconi Beach parking lot in Wellfleet, a favorite of amateur astronomers, to take in the Milky Way with all the shower’s luminous streaks. Or simply find a spot on the sand to spread a blanket, and turn your eyes skyward. Cape Cod National Seashore beaches and parking lots close at midnight, so true night owls will need to find another spot away from lights after then. – Spencer Buell
19. Provincetown Gallery Stroll
Provincetown’s weekend social scene launches every Friday evening with what is known as The Stroll. Starting in late May, about two dozen galleries along a mile-and-a-half stretch of Commercial and Bradford streets fling their doors open wide. Many plan exhibition openings during these hours, so you might rub elbows with excited artists over a cheese board. Several nonprofits hold events and open houses, including the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, which offers free admission after 5 p.m. on Fridays. Provincetown Art Association and Museum , 460 Commercial Street, 508-487-1750 – Patricia Harris and David Lyon
20. John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum, Hyannis
This Main Street museum captures the spirit of the Kennedy family’s long association with the Cape through photos, videos, and artifacts including one of President Kennedy’s famous rocking chairs. This summer, there are special exhibits including one on John F. Kennedy Jr. and another on Robert F. Kennedy’s fight for civil rights. Kids (and adults) can test their skills with the museum’s scavenger hunt. Also this season: the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum will offer Kennedy Legacy Trail walking tours through Hyannis. 397 Main Street, 508-790-3077 – Susan Moeller
21. Highland Light, Truro
The Cape’s first lighthouse, also known as Cape Cod Light, was originally commissioned by George Washington in 1797. The current tower at Highland Light was built in 1857 and moved back from an eroding cliff in 1996. At 130 feet above sea level, it is the highest of the Cape and Islands’ 14 lighthouses. Guided tours take visitors up the steep 69 steps to the tower where an LED beacon warns ships of the Outer Cape’s treacherous coastline. The dramatic 360-degree views look over the open Atlantic, miles of rolling moors, and the Highland Links golf course. Tours (adults $8; discounts for students, seniors, and military) are kid-friendly but there is a strict 48-inch height minimum. 27 Highland Light Road, 508-404-9117 – Susan Moeller
22. Cape Cod Canal, Upper Cape
One of the Cape’s most enticing treasures — the canal — barely gets a glance from most visitors barreling over the bridges. But the twin 7-mile ribbons of asphalt bordering the shimmering waterway are breathtakingly scenic spots to get your steps in, then picnic as yachts, freighters, and the occasional Tall Ship glide by. You’ll sometimes spot a seal, a dolphin, or even a wayward whale. Find parking at several recreation areas along the canal, as well as amenities ranging from grills to camping areas. Worth a stop: the Cape Cod Canal Visitor Center, a free museum in Sandwich at the Cape Cod Bay end of the canal. Cape Cod Canal Visitor Center, 60 Ed Moffitt Drive, 508-833-9678 – William J. Kole
23. Dockside Dining at Baxter’s Boathouse, Hyannis
Why settle for enjoying the Cape’s abundant fresh seafood in view of the waves, when you can float atop the waters from whence it came? Such is the draw of dockside eateries such as Baxter’s Boathouse in Hyannis Harbor that offer slips for boaters to pull in, just steps from the kitchen. No need for a yacht or luxury speedboat; a rented pontoon will do just fine. Stay awhile, recline in the captain’s chair, and order a batch of Bloody Marys — the house specialty — from the vintage bar. Or, simply grab your crew a round of lobster rolls to go, and ferry them to the nearest sandbar. 177 Pleasant Street, 508-775-4490 – Spencer Buell
24. Harbor Lounge, Provincetown
Running alongside Provincetown Harbor, many of the businesses on bustling Commercial Street offer stunning water views. The Harbor Lounge boasts some of the best, in addition to local beers, sangria, martinis, and old-fashioneds. Situated at the end of a courtyard, the laid-back drinking spot (open from April through the end of the year) has large windows that wrap around the place, and a pier out back with a surreal view of the harbor, and, if you’re lucky, a glorious sunset. 359 Commercial Street, 508-413-9527 – Marc Hurwitz
25. Great Island Trail, Wellfleet
One of the most scenic hikes in New England is tucked into the curving arm of the Outer Cape. Wellfleet’s Great Island Trail begins with a gentle walk along an inlet, then climbs into a pitch-pine forest. From there, the tops of dunes unfurl panoramic views of Cape Cod Bay, while pristine stretches of sand are completely devoid of umbrellas. The full loop — with a jaunt out to Jeremy Point when the tide is out — totals 8.8 miles. Bring lots of water, more sunscreen than you think you need, and a bathing suit for taking a mid-hike dip in the bay. Griffin Island and Chequessett Neck roads – Madeline Bilis
26. Chatham Band Concerts, Chatham
Promptly at 8 p.m. on Friday nights, the red-uniformed Chatham Band sings out a chipper “Hip-Hip Hi-De-Ho!” and launches into its opener, “Band Time in Chatham.” Arrive early to claim a grassy spot near the bandstand and be prepared to join in the crowd-pleasing “Bunny Hop.” For an old-fashioned afternoon, start with a lobster roll lunch at the First United Methodist Church, peruse the Main Street shops, and pick up concert treats at Chatham Candy Manor. Concerts and lobster roll lunches are every Friday from June 28 to August 30. Kate Gould Park, 15 Chatham Bars Avenue; First United Methodist Church, 569 Main Street, 508-945-0474 – Patricia Harris and David Lyon
27. Art’s Dune Tours, Provincetown
You haven’t seen Cape Cod until you’ve taken a ride through the remote and wild dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore. These iconic tours, aboard comfy six-passenger vans, have been offered by the Costa family since 1946. On the slow and scenic one-hour Daily Tour, learn about the history and ecological significance of the region. You’ll also get a peek at the famous dune shacks, where artists, including writers Eugene O’Neill, E.E. Cummings, Jack Kerouac, and Norman Mailer, once lived and worked, inspired by the otherworldly landscape. Art’s Dune Tours begin in mid-May, starting at $41.20 for those over 8 years old; $25.75 for children 5-8; $15.45 for children 4 and under. 4 Standish Street, 508-487-1950 – Diane Bair and Pamela Wright
28. Titcomb’s Bookshop, East Sandwich
Off Route 6A, a statue of a man wearing a red coat and tricorn hat beckons you to enter the bibliophilic gem that is Titcomb’s Bookshop, which has traded in books, games, and memories for over 50 years. The shop feels like a treehouse filled with wonders, from books published in the 19th century to a replica of a terracotta army soldier. Alongside them are more recently published materials covering a wide range of topics and genres. It’s three floors of knowledge, literature, and whimsy where any book lover could lose themselves for hours. 432 Route 6A, 508-888-2331 – Kevin G. Andrade
29. Wellfleet Flea Market and Drive-In
This highway-side institution is as retro-nostalgic as Patti Page singing “Old Cape Cod.” You might even find a well-worn recording of that tune at the weekend flea market that runs 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Up to 150 vendors make it one of the biggest flea markets on the Cape. Come back in the evening for iconic summertime entertainment at the Wellfleet Drive-In’s double feature. The main season for both begins in late May, with extra days (and nights) added as summer progresses. Flea market admission $1-$3; drive-in admission adults $15, seniors $12, ages 4-11 $10. 51 State Highway Route 6, 508-349-2450 – Patricia Harris and David Lyon
30. Eat Your Way Around the World — On the Cape
Thanks in part to the Cape’s diversifying population, the food scene has evolved beyond chowder and lobster rolls. That’s great news for foodies with adventurous palates.
On the Upper Cape, Tiger Ramen in Falmouth (587 Main Street, 774-392-6621) serves up bowls of traditional ramen, and infuses local flavor in its Drunken Clam ramen. On the Mid Cape, Mi Pueblo in Hyannis (577 Main Street, 508-771-4382) is one of three Mexican restaurants in a quarter-mile stretch of Main Street and a great spot for tacos and pork hominy stew. Also in Hyannis, Mr. Kabab (199 Falmouth Road, 774-470-4511) serves up takeout falafel and shawarma — inside a United gas station. To get your fix of mango lassi and Indian curries, try Keshar Indian Restaurant and Bar (476 Route 28, 781-985-3201) in West Yarmouth.
On the Lower Cape, Chatham’s Branches Grill and Cafe (155 Crowell Road, 508-358-1716) is serving up Caribbean flavors; don’t miss the mannish water (tripe soup) or Jamaican jerk chicken. Also in Chatham, Aplaya Kitchen and Tiki Bar (483 Main Street, 774-840-4144) is a seasonal outdoor spot for tiki drinks and Filipino specialties such as chicken adobo and empanadas.
When visiting the Outer Cape, make sure to stop at Kung Fu Dumplings in Provincetown (293 Commercial Street, 774-538-7106) for handmade dumplings, steamed buns, and bubble tea. – Susan Moeller

Moscow Metro
The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.
What is the kremlin in russia?
The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.
And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.
During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.
There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Was on vacation in Falmouth and decided to take my grandson on a boat ride, thought the duckboat looked like something he would enjoy. Called to double check the times of boat ride, recording said every hour, last tour at 5:00 pm. Arrived in Hyannis just after 4:00 because of traffic, so planned on the 5:00 tour.
