Experience Maine's stunning scenery, fascinating history, and traditional cuisine on this day-long combination tour around Portland and Kennebunkport.
Traveling by coach, head to the charming coastal village of Kennebunkport to view stunning Federal- and Victorian-style homes built by wealthy sea captains and merchants in the 1700s and 1800s. On a 50-minute coastal boat cruise, watch for the Wedding Cake House and Walker's Point -- the Bush estate and former Summer White House, often visited by world leaders.
Stretch your legs at Dock Square in the center of Kennebunkport, where art galleries, antique shops, and upscale stores create a charming town center.
At the nearby Nonantum Resort, a historic inn on the Kennebunk River, you'll delight in an authentic New England-style lunch featuring lobster rolls, chowder, dessert, coffee, and tea.
To round out the day, visit Fort Williams Park on Cape Elizabeth. Here, you'll discover the world-famous Portland Head Light -- the oldest lighthouse in Maine that served as a military outpost from the Spanish-American War to the Korean War. It's America's most-photographed lighthouse -- join the club as you snap your own beautiful compositions of earth, sky, rocks and beacon.
