Eight of us went on the Harbor Kayak Tour, and we had a blast. Such a different way to explore the city! Ellie and Mark were great guides. We'd definitely recommend this tour.

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hello, Kathleen! It truly sounds like you had a memorable time out on the water! We are thrilled that all eight of you could see the beauty of the city from another perspective. Your recommendation is truly appreciated, and I will be sure to pass along your high praise to your guides. Let us know when you are ready for another exciting adventure. Best, Brianna

Our guide was AWESOME! He did a great job helping us navigate and was very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas. He made our day so fun and relaxing, I would definitely recommend and can't wait to go again!

The Boston Harbor Kayak tour was a gift from our kids. My husband was very excited,and I was a mix of excited and scared. Our guide immediately put me at ease and it was an awesome experience! Going from the Charles River thru the locks to Boston Harbor was pretty cool. Loved taking in Boston from that vantage point. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and we learned a bit more history of our beautiful city! I highly recommend this tour!

The experience was great. We had a wonderful time, learned a lot, and had a very good experience. When we arrived at the kiosk location, the intake person told us that we needed a photo ID. Since we were going in a kayak we had left all those items in our car in the parking garage so one of us had to trek back to the car. When we approached the same intake person again, we did not need our photo ID, since we were on a pre-booked kayak tour. If we had been running late due to traffic this delay could have disrupted an otherwise stellar day. Looking forward to next year going on the America's Cup boat out of Newport.

Fantastic! Great time kayaking down river, through the locks to the Harbor. Our trip was taken during the time the Morgan was docked at the Navy Yard next to the Constitution...quite fine to see two such ships. Guide was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. I would definitely do this, or a similar, trip again. (One side note: an earlier review mentioned availability of dry bag for valuables/personal effects; not available on our trip, so just be prepared.)

Wonderful trip, exciting to go through the Locks from Charles river to Boston Harbor! Guide was excellent. WE had a great time. Dry bag is provided for valuables on the trip - I would have liked to know that ahead of time.

Great Time, met a family from France and two young couples, Guide was especially friendly. The USS Constitution sure looks more awesome from sea level!
