Classic Cape Cod

Sun, Sand, and Surf
EASY BIKING      14 DAYS
Trip #CCC

So classic we've been running it for 40 years!!

Classic Cape Cod = cranberry bogs, sandy beaches, delicious ice cream cones and saltwater taffy. Ride the ferry to Martha's Vineyard for swimming, sunning and beachcombing.


Sit on a pile of lobster traps next to docks, seagulls, and fishing shanties hung with colorful buoys. You will spend a morning sea-kayaking in a quiet cove, exploring inlets, then feed swooping seagulls on the ferry to Nantucket. Your hostel is right on the beach, so you can help gather wood for that night's bonfire! Build sandcastles, explore the colorful old whaling port, and picnic at a lighthouse or on top of the dunes before ferrying again to Hyannis. On the way up the Cape's bike trails to Truro, you will stop at the National Seashore for swimming along dazzling beaches. Provincetown's amazing whale watching expedition has a naturalist on board to tell you about whales and their remarkable behaviors.

The trip ends in Boston with sightseeing on the Freedom Trail. You'll visit the Boston Aquarium for the sea lion show and a behind-the-scenes tour. The trip's last dinner will be in the famous (and delicious!) Italian North End.
