Why We Love This Unique Experience
Portland Maine Experience Gifts: Visit the beautiful Wood Island on this scenic sail and walking tour of the Lighthouse. You will get to wander around the island and go up the lighthouse before sailing back to mainland!
Your experience begins when you arrive at the dock, where you'll be greeted by your crew. They'll lead you aboard before setting sail. Enjoy gorgeous views and the feeling of the breeze in your hair as you sail along Saco Bay. Soon, you'll reach Wood Island, where you will be able to disembark and stretch your legs. Your crew will give a tour around the island and of the famed lighthouse, which you will get the chance to go up. On a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of New Hampshire's White Mountains as you stroll along the island. After hearing a range of anecdotes about the island, you'll be led back onboard by the crew. On the sail back, you'll get the chance to play captain and steer the boat, making this scenic sail one you won't want to miss out on!

Ascend the 60 circular stairs of the lighthouse tower to the lantern room with its fabulous panoramic view. On a clear day you will see the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
Explore the two story restored Light Keepers House with all its treasures and carefully researched period details. A portion of the price includes a donation to FOWIL, the non-profit responsible for the upkeep of this amazing Light Station.
There are 65 lighthouses in Maine with only 4 of them that are on an island as well as restored and offers tours. We believe you’ll agree with us that this one is the best! Soak in wonders of the ocean, sea life and sun in an endless expanse of horizon.
Our boats keep each charter intimate at no more than 6 per boat. Take your turn at sailing the boat if you wish. Most importantly please come away, have fun and rest awhile with your beloved, friends and family. Create memories that will last a life time!
