Boston is a city rich in history and culture, so head out and explore. Take time to visit the waterfront, where seafood restaurants overlook the bustling harbour bringing the freshest ingredients to the table. From here you can take a whale watch boat tour or perhaps a catamaran trip out to the islands, and you can also find the city’s Aquarium. Follow the Freedom Trail, a walking route that starts at Copley Park and traces many historical attractions.

Today you will collect your rental car and leave the big city behind, heading south to the coastal town of Chatham, located at the southeast tip of Massachusetts and half-way down the 75-mile-long Cape Cod Peninsula. We have allowed three nights in Chatham, giving you ample time to explore not just the town, but all that Cape Cod has to offer. This is the perfect base from which to explore the northern tip of Cape Cod, an area where you will find quirky Provincetown less than an hour’s drive away. While visiting Provincetown we highly recommend booking the Whale Watch Cruise. The towns of Hyannis and Falmouth are just thirty minutes and one hour away respectively, giving you even more coastal splendour. In Hyannis, we also offer a Whale Watching Cruise. This is also the region from where you would catch the passenger ferry to Cape Cod’s islands of Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket, should you wish to take a day trip or extend your holiday.
