What you can expect

Join us on Boston's “ORIGINAL” Martha's Vineyard day trip. Spend a day exploring the quaint fishing towns, coastal scenes, and world-class shops and eateries of Martha’s Vineyard. Hassle-free roundtrip transportation and an easy ferry ride across the water make this the perfect way to experience a day on the island.

A comfortable mini-coach picks you up from approved Boston hotels for the scenic, 90-minute drive to Falmouth. Arrive at the docks and skip the line onto the ferry, either the Island Queen or a boat run by the Steamship Authority depending on the time of year. Grab a drink or snack if you’d like and settle in for the 35-minute ride out to Martha’s Vineyard, located just 7 miles (11 km) off the coast.

With a full 6 hours on the island, you can soak up its rural sights and abundant New England charm at your leisure. Shop the boutiques and galleries in one of the island’s 6 towns, admire the gingerbread cottages and resort homes along the shore, or head to the beach to dig your toes into the sand. You can delve into maritime history at a museum, trek to lighthouses perched on rugged clay cliffs, or rent a bike or moped to zip between attractions. A three-hour narrated island tour with an experienced island tour guide is also a great option that you can choose at the time of booking. When the afternoon draws to a close, head back to the docks for your return ferry to the mainland, where your bus awaits to take you back to Boston by early evening.

Hotel pickup is available only at the following hotels: Boston Harbor Hotel, Colonnade, Doubletree Downtown/Washington St., Fairmont Copley Plaza, Hilton Back Bay, Hilton Downtown Financial District, Hyatt Regency Boston, Intercontinental, Liberty, Marriott Copley Place, Marriott Long Wharf, Millennium Boston, Omni Parker House, Park Plaza, Renaissance, Revere Hotel, Seaport, Sheraton, W Hotel, Westin Waterfront.

Wouldn’t recommend at all! The bus trip was hot and over packed in my opinion. The AC was apparently on but it was still hot and there was no ventilation. The bus driver didn’t drive very well through traffic, almost got in a few accidents on the highways. He kept stopping hard and drove in the fast line when he wasn’t even going to the speed limit, this put us in great danger and other drivers were honking and filming the bus on their phones. The ferry ride was choppy and uncomfortable, once on the island it was fine but too windy and bad weather so we couldn’t enjoy the beach. I wish we could’ve gotten a refund because of weather. Wouldn’t recommend this trip at all

Our guide, I think her name was Elaine, was very informative and entertaining! We did not do the 3 hour island tour as we thought 3 hours on a "school bus" wasn't going to be that exciting. We opted to ride E-bikes around the island which was way more fun! Lots of traffic coming back, but that wasn't the fault of anyone.

Our tour bus drive over and back from Boston was very enjoyable with informative and fun stories to keep trip easy. Our tour of island was so great- driver was lifelong resident with so much history info and stories. If we had gone on our own we would never have seen or understood how very pretty and interesting it really was.

Driver was great. The weather didn’t cooperate so we opted to take the tour on the island too. Would have preferred to have more time in Oak Bluffs.
