After 11 years of New England Lighthouses Tours, and after more than 400 tours and more than 1300 passengers, I will be retiring the business at the close of this year. Thank you so much to all the great people who have come along on the tours, and to the wonderful staff and volunteers at the lighthouses! What a fantastic ride it's been. I have an exciting new employment opportunity with the U.S. Lighthouse Society. Along with my writing, photography, lectures, and my volunteer duties with the American Lighthouse Foundation and the Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouses, I will have more than enough things to occupy my time. I will not rule out offering minivan tours again in the future, but I will not be taking bookings for the 2019 season. Again, many thanks to all! PLEASE NOTE: THESE TOURS ARE NOT IN A BOAT; THEY ARE IN A MINIVAN.
Your tour guide, Jeremy D'Entremont, has been photographing and writing about lighthouses for 30 years. He is the founder of the Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouses and the historian for the American Lighthouse Foundation. He has lectured on his favorite topic all along the New England coast. All tours begin and end in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Pickup and drop-off is usually at the public parking lot near the Connect Community Church near the Market Street Extension (200 Chase Drive) in Portsmouth, but arrangements can often be made for pickup at area hotels. Click here to see the parking lot on Google Maps. The usual capacity on all tours is 5 participants, but 6 can be accommodated if at least one is a child. The tours are not recommended for children under 6 years old. With all tours, we reserve the right to change the itinerary if conditions (weather, traffic problems, etc.) make it necessary. We will make every effort to complete the itineraries as described, and to substitute other interesting destinations if necessary. Advance purchase is needed for all tours. You can book space on a tour by following the links below. |
Join Jeremy D'Entremont, author of more than a dozen books and hundreds of articles on lighthouse history, for a minivan tour of some of New England's most beautiful and historic beacons. A portion of the proceeds from all tours is donated to help lighthouse preservation.
