Lighthouse and Sightseeing Tours Rhode Island

 

Discover the beauty of RI’s shoreline. With 21 Rhode Island lighthouses to choose from, you are sure to find something for everyone.  Enjoy a late afternoon cruise to Block Island or the protected waters of Narragansett Bay. Dating back to the mid 1700’s, the history of each lighthouse will be covered. The cruise between each lighthouse will include commentary on famous landmarks such as Fort Adams and the former Quonset Naval Air Station. Also, the role each played in RI’s marine history, as well as any other important sites that have historical significance will be mentioned. A quick loop around Newport harbor allows viewing of world class 12-meter yachts, private ocean yachts and Newport’s commercial fleet. Lunch or dinner at a fine dockside restaurant in Newport or Block Island can be arranged. We will pass by three of the state’s largest bridges, one having a span of almost two miles. During the fall, observe the coastline’s spectacular foliage. Finish a perfect day by watching the sunset behind the horizon of Pt. Judith Lighthouse or Block Island.
