Top New England Romantic Tours

WaterFire—an annual installation by artist Barnaby Evans, which sees lighted braziers and flickering flames reflected along the Providence River—is a much-loved Providence event, and this boat tour offers unparalleled access to the exhibition. Meet your captain at the basin of Waterplace Park, hop aboard your vessel, and set off along the full length of the installation after dark, to enjoy the best views of the fires.

See a new perspective on the Providence waterfront—and enjoy a romantic, one-of-a-kind evening activity—aboard this sunset cruise. Make your own way to the centrally located docks at Fox Point Marina, board the vessel, and set off as twilight descends. With music playing in the background, you can sip Rhode Island-made wine and prosecco, glimpse architectural highlights and landmarks, and savor the tranquil ambiance.

Welcome Aboard Schooner Applejack in Boothbay Harbor; your Maine Vacation starts here! Join the Schooner crew for a sunset sail adventure on Boothbay Harbor’s oldest windjammer. Help hoist sails or take a turn at the wheel as we set a course out past Burnt Island Light, Squirrel Island, Ram Island Light and the outer islands of Boothbay. Keep a sharp eye out for porpoise, Osprey, Bald Eagles, and harbor seals as we slip by local boats setting their pots or hauling in the lobster catch of the day. We have the best, most intimate sailing vessel for exploring Boothbay Harbor. Enjoy the beautiful coastline on our deck with a 360 degree view from every seat.

Enjoy a relaxing evening cruise along Providence’s waterways while being entertained by the magical WaterFire show. Starting from Providence Marina, you’ll get a great view of this seasonal attraction, which lights up the city. Travelers with all kinds of interests will be amazed by the WaterFire show, which includes movement, participation, and, of course, fire and water.

This unstructured experience allows for intimate conversation and relaxation, making it perfect for romantic nights, celebrations, or special occasions. Optional hourly add-ons provide flexibility for those wishing to extend their evening or seamlessly transition into dinner plans.

This tour is built just for you! You provide what you'd love to see and do (scenery, farms, photography, food, artisans, etc.) and what you'd rather skip and I'll create a customized itinerary for your day. We'll travel in a built-for-back roads Bronco, with a (weather permitting) top-down, open air experience you won't soon forget! As much as possible, we keep off the main routes and stick to dirt roads where traffic doesn't exist, the scenery is breathtaking, and hidden views abound. There will be plenty of opportunities to pause and take it all in. Be sure to check out the Vermont Wayfinders website for more information on tours and availability, including add-on options like heading to the top of Killington or going for a horse-drawn carriage ride. The places provided listed here are just the start; this truly is a signature tour, tailored to you and your small group.

Travel back in time as you enjoy a relaxing tour past historic homes and churches. Listen as our carriage drivers describe the fascinating history of this lovely colonial village. Pet the horse before or after your ride. Hand us your camera, we'll take photos of you in the carriage!
