Day 1

Welcome Aboard! Travel in comfort aboard our deluxe motor coach to the sunny shores, spectacular beaches, and breathtaking sunsets of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

The hotel is located at the east end of Hyannis' historic Main Street with its galleries, eateries, local shops, entertainment, and the nationally famous JFK Museum.

Day 2

After a buffet breakfast, we meet our step-on guide, and depart for Falmouth, Massachusetts where we will travel by ferry to the island of Martha's Vineyard. We will begin our visit to the island with a tour aboard our deluxe motor coach. The tour will highlight many of the island's unique, charming and historic points of interest, and detail Martha's Vineyard role as a famous whaling port during the 18th-century. Also, the tour will expose you to many of the distinct architectural gingerbread-style cottages, and the resplendent sea captain's homes with roof top widow's walks. Later you will have some leisure time to explore the shops and restaurants in the quaint Village of Edgartown before we cruise back to the mainland. We conclude the day with a delicious dinner in a memorable setting at the Flying Bridge Restaurant, located in Falmouth with magnificent views of Falmouth Harbor before returning to our hotel for a good night's sleep.

Day 3

After a buffet breakfast, we meet our step-on guide, and depart for a tour that takes us from Hyannis to "Land's End" Provincetown, which is located at the tip of the Cape. We will learn about the cranberry bogs, kettle ponds, "half-Cape" architecture, sea captains and whaling, and the "Graveyard of Ships". In the afternoon you will have some leisure time to enjoy the lively street scene in this diverse community with its gift shops, boutiques, galleries and restaurants. Lunch is on your own. Next we join the Dolphin Fleet for our narrated whale watching cruise as we head for the Stellwagen feeding bank in search of these remarkable marine mammals. Witness the power, energy and majesty of humpback and fin whales as they play and jump in the food-rich environment. Before returning to our hotel, we are treated to a delicious dinner at the Riverway Lobster House, a perennial favorite of the locals in South Yarmouth and a Cape Cod tradition since 1944.
