Thimble Islands tour with Captain Bob was the best way to get to know the islands and its history current/past. The tour lasted about 45mins and was very relaxed and informative, Captain Bob really knows the area well. We had a perfect day. We highly recommend this tour. The area is so pretty to walk around after the tour.

This little known gem of an area in Long Island Sound is a must see! I've been all over the world, but didn't know about these islands until recently ! Easily accessed from 95 north or south, in Branford CT,.....The $12 narrated boat cruise through the islands is money well spent ! The scenery, islands, and the houses built on them are just amazing ! There is also a small, clean, easily accessible, no fee beach, with on street parking ! Don't pass this by !

We kayaked the islands. Absolutely gorgeous & fascinating. A must see up close. If you can't kayak take the Seamist boat tour. Make sure you go to Outermost Island. It's a national refuge and the only island you can explore on land.

We took a cruise of the Thimble Islands with Captain Bob. It was 45 minutes long and very informative. It only takes minutes to get to the Thimble Islands, as the tour leaves from Stony Creek, which overlooks the Islands. Captain Bob has a very dry sense of humor and we thoroughly enjoyed his narration :-) It's only $10 for senior and well worth it. It was a gorgeous day, but the seats are in a covered area if the weather isn't quite that cooperative. Stop by if you get a chance!

What a nice way to spend some time cruising around the Thimble Islands on the Sea Mist.Although the 45 minutes seemed short, our Navigator Captain Bob filled us with the interesting history of each island. Would definitely recommend taking this trip with family or friends for its educational and relaxing merits.

There are 3 boats that provide an inexpensive 45-minute tour of the islands - it's a very nice way to learn about these "islands".

If you are looking for a quaint little get away nestled in a picturesque small shoreline town, this is the place. Whether as a day trip, or as an over night (for those farther away there are nearby hotels), this is the place. There are a couple small shops and sandwich places by the town dock, some seasonally open. But the real fun begins with a narrated tour around the islands. The Betselma, Volsunga and Sea Mist boast experienced and friendly captains with much knowledge about the area and history of the islands. During the season they offer walk on tours, or availability to book group tours, or private cruises. We found them reasonably priced and accommodating. If you are in the area give it a go or call to get more info. P.S. - when they open up again next season, the new nearby brewery should be open. Enjoy!

Took the Thimble Islands tour out of Stony Creek (a boat trip I've taken many times) in late September this year, and enjoyed it just as much this time as the first time. The scenery is fantastic.

We were fortunate to take this cruise on one of the most beautiful days during September, cloudless blue skies and warm temps. It was quite enjoyable, the captain was interesting, informative and entertaining. We did not even know this area existed and were so glad to have stumbled on it. Well worth the ticket price! Fun to see all the beautiful summer homes and hear some of their history, as well as some glimpses of blue herons and snowy egrets. Don't forget to stop for a lobster roll before you leave!

The first time I was there was in 1996, then again around 2007. Located just east of New Haven, CT. the group of small islands is am amazing little adventure. Take a water-taxi-type tour boat around the islands. Lots of history there - and many people don't know it even exists. Then, there are small shops for food, ice cream and souvees! (souvineers). A very cool way to spend a few hours.
