The journey to the island was stunning, and both the skipper and mate were very friendly and well-informed. Upon arrival, our guide welcomed us and was highly knowledgeable, effortlessly answering our questions. This tour was remarkable due to its historical significance. Missing it would mean overlooking something truly unique.
This was an incredible tour with fascinating history, a stunning island, a wonderful boat, and an enjoyable crew. I highly recommend it; every aspect of the experience was top-notch.
I highly recommend this experience. Our group was small, just six of us, which made the tour particularly special. Captain Pete is very knowledgeable about House Island, Fort Scammel, and Portland. Simeon was also an excellent deckhand.
This was an excellent trip from start to finish. Our guides and the boat captain were fantastic and had a lot of knowledge. I would highly recommend this experience.
The tour guides were extremely informative and demonstrated a deep knowledge of the area. Even though we were a small group, I felt fully engaged and valued throughout the experience.
The guides provided extensive knowledge about House Island and the fort. I gained valuable insights into the history of the fort and its role in safeguarding Portland.
Pete was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We gained a lot of insights, and the fort itself was remarkable. I would definitely recommend this tour.
The boat ride is quite simple, but the outstanding details shared about the island and its military importance more than compensate for it.
An unexpected gem of American history. The pilot's extensive knowledge brought the fort's history to life. We were truly glad to have chosen this experience.
We had a wonderful time on this private island Fort Tour from Casco Bay. Upon arrival at the meeting spot in Portland, a team member greeted us and guided us to the boat. The two-man crew who took us to the island were amazing and provided a wealth of information. Once we reached the island, our tour guide, who operates the Fortland campground, welcomed us and shared his extensive knowledge. The views across the island were stunning, and exploring the historic fort was captivating. We're considering a stay at the campground next year due to its uniqueness. I highly recommend this tour to others.
