Itinerar

  1. Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse

    15 min Intrarea inclusă

    It's a well-preserved example of a caisson-style lighthouse and has been a part of Portland Harbor's history since 1897.

  2. Fort Preble

    Trecere fără oprire

    Built in 1808, the fort was designed to protect Portland Harbor during the War of 1812 and subsequent conflicts.

    Fort Preble played a role in the War of 1812, served as a recruiting depot and mobilization site during the Civil War, and saw action in the Battle of Portland Harbor.

  3. Liberty Ship Memorial

    15 min Intrarea inclusă

    The South Portland Shipyards, a key part of the war effort, built 236 Liberty Ships, which significantly contributed to the Allied victory.

    The memorial honors the thousands of men and women who worked in the shipyards, the seamen who served on board, and the South Portland residents who lived near the busy shipbuilding center.

    It serves as a reminder of the city's rich shipbuilding history and its crucial role in World War II.

  4. Portland Head Light

    20 min Intrarea inclusă

    Built in 1791, it's Maine's oldest lighthouse, offering a glimpse into the state's maritime history.

    The lighthouse serves as a navigational beacon, guiding ships into the busy Port of Portland.

    It's a popular tourist destination, with the tower itself offering panoramic views of the coast and surrounding lighthouses.

Cum folosești biletul

Check-in details:

Check-in begins 15 minutes before departure, and we recommend that all guests arrive in the area 30 minutes before departure to allow time for parking (if applicable) and arrival to our location.

Parking:

Portland Discovery does not have parking for customers, and we recommend allowing extra time to find parking as it can be busy downtown.

There are many public parking lots near our Long Wharf ticket booth, located at 170 Commercial Street. The best parking options are:

  • Simba Parking Lot at 216 Fore Street.
  • Ocean Gateway Lot at 2 Commercial Street
  • Angelo’s Acres Lot at 441 Commercial Street

These lots range from an 8- to 20-minute walk from our location, depending on your pace.

Additional information:

What to bring:

You never know exactly what kind of weather you will get in Maine, but it’s safe to assume it will be cooler out on the water and bringing a light or heavy jacket is a good idea. We recommend sneakers as opposed to open-toed shoes for better stability.

Restrictions:

Are Tours Handicap Accessible?

Canes and walkers are fine on either tour, though a foldable walker may be needed to fit on the trolley. There are three steps onto the trolley and there is a ramp that leads down to the boat that can vary in steepness, but our friendly, courteous drivers and deckhands are more than happy to lend a hand. Wheelchairs are not able to fit on the trolleys and MOST times manual wheelchairs are fine on the boats, but typically have to be lifted on, so weight restrictions can apply.

Are Tours Dog Friendly?

Our Tours are dog friendly! Provided your dog is friendly, well-behaved, and leashed they are welcome on our tours. Dogs cannot take up a seat of a paying passenger, so dogs must be in a lap or on the floor/deck near your feet.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
