My husband and I took the golf cart tour on a recent Wednesday morning during our visit to Peak's Island. Our guide was a tall, thin, older gentleman and I am sorry I don't recall his name. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Peak's Island which was fascinating. However, the entire trip seemed rushed and he seemed preoccupied. Questions and comments seemed to take him off script. We were hurried through the museum and the end of the tour came five minutes before the scheduled end- hmmm... maybe there were a few minutes to slow down a bit. That said, I'm glad we took the tour because we never could have walked everywhere we went or learned what we learned. We also took our guide's suggestion for lunch- The Cockeyed Gull- delicious and great view from the outdoor deck. All in all a very worthwhile tour.
I traveled to Maine last weekend with my parents and we decided to do a golf cart tour at Peaks Island. It was a great way to see the whole perimeter of the island and learn about a new place with lots of history!Our tour guide John was a long-time resident of PI, and he had so much interesting information and fun stories to share. It was a very relaxing tour and a great way to spend our day on the island...would definitely recommend!
Peaks Island Tours has been in business for years and tells the history of Peaks and residents from the "Indian wars" to the present time. Very professional and and they meet most ferries. Great also for long-term residents who don't know about the island.
Thank You Peak Island a Tours for the last minute treat ( it was mid October). We enjoyed the informative narrative by a native islander whose humor depicted the culture and community of the island. We had a beautiful day, saw beaches, breakers, the military reservation, several summer communities, civil war regiments and an island spirit that doesn't disappoint.
This past weekend we took a journey to Peeks Island and took The Peeks Island Tour. It consistent of a 75 minute golf cart tour around Peeks Island. Our guide was Jon who is a long time resident of the Island who was very informative of the history and island life.We found it interesting and informative. We would recommend it to any one who wants an over view of the island.
We live in Portland Maine and have been to Peaks Island many times, but we have never learned more about the Island until we took the Peaks Island Tour. Our guide made the tour interesting with a genuine love for the island and the people who make Peaks Island a part-time or full-time home. The tour takes you to a variety of locations with a post-card view around every corner.
As first time visitors to Peaks Island, we decided to take a golf cart tour to get a sense of what it's like. Our guide, Dan, was very informative and friendly, and we were able to get a real sense not only of the physical beauty of the island, but also of its history and what seems to be a very friendly island community.
Fantastic tour of the island. You can really get to see a lot of the island in under 2 hours. Our tour guide John was very knowledgeable and did a great job giving us the history of the island. Highly recommend the tour!
Last Saturday the family enjoyed a wonderful tour of Peaks Island with owner Steve MacIsaac! Beautiful weather, personal stories and a good dose of historical island trivia. Could not have asked for anything better:)
Our tour guide John met us right off the ferry, and we had a wonderful afternoon. We had 4 8-year old girls with us for a birthday party adventure, and they loved it. John is a former teacher so was able to adjust what he did to make it perfect for us. The island is rich in history, and we all especially loved learning about the military history of the island and seeing the Civil War museum. Maybe not a typical bday party, but the kids loved it and adults did as well. We would go again for sure.
