New England Seacoast Tour
This budget-friendly, single-day bus tour departs from Boston and travels as far as Kennebunkport, giving riders a chance to take in a swath of Maine's Southern coast. The tour stops in New Hampshire's Hampton Beach to give riders a chance to stretch their legs and grab a snack before continuing on the scenic "Nubble Light" lighthouse outside of York Maine. The last leg of the tour is along the scenic Maine coast, and ends in the town of Kennebunkport's Walker Point. Riders are then given a two-hour window to explore, shop or eat in the town of Kennebunkport before the group returns to Boston. While the tour does offer complimentary "commentary" along the way, meals are not included in the base price, so budget accordingly.
