Excellent two hour tour of a historic fort in Portland, Maine - This was a great tour of a historic fort out on house Island. The tour guide was excellent and provided exceptional knowledge of the history and the boat crew was extremely friendly and polite the tour was two hours and extremely fun and safe. I highly recommend this to anybody living or visiting in Portland Maine.

Best Tour in Portland! - Our tour was amazing, everything we expected and more! Everything was seamless, from checking in, to getting on our boat, to the tour. Our boat guides were kind and eager to answer any questions. And our tour guide of the fort was so passionate and enthusiastic. Overall an amazing tour, I’d definitely do this tour again!

Very interesting tour and perspective. - Wonderful tour of the fort. Guide gave a very interesting view/perspective. So very good that I would do it again. Even the yurt option would be a blast.

Would definitely do this trip again!! - We enjoyed the great story telling of our guide on the island. The staff and Captain of the boat were friendly, and the drinks were great.

Awesome experience - Loved it tour guide was fantastic. Would do it again. Beautiful scenary and very informative. 5 stars all day

5/5! - Very cool experience! Would recommend. The walk around the fort was not too difficult, most fitness levels would do just fine. Tour guide and captain were great!

Views, booze, waves! - Great information! Very cool tour! Drinks were amazing! The views and the history were nothing like I expected! I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Educational - Great scenery, very knowledgeable tour guides, and great beverage for the trip back to shore. Highly recommended, even for those who aren’t history nerds.

Fun little quick tour, friendly and authentic staff and beautiful nature in Casco Bay. - Great tour and fun. The boat crew and office meeting place staff are extremely friendly and welcoming and seem to sincerely appreciate your tourist visit and patronage. They have real love and pride for Portland and Maine which adds to the fun, friendliness and authenticity of the tour. You get a free beer or other alcoholic or non alcoholic beverage on the cruise. One small oversight (probably Trip Advisors fault, not the tour operator) is that on the Trip Advisor write-up, it says the boat cruise goes to Fort Gorges Isalnd in Casco Bay but it actually goes to House Island where the remnants of Fort Scammel are. The weather was a bit grey and rainy so I assume the operators change things up but perhaps the write up should be corrected. On island tour guide was a real pleasure, I believe he worked for the Portland Camping company. He was a great guide and narrator and very knowledgeable and eager to talk about the local history and lore. Being a history and war history buff myself I enjoyed talking to him. He was also very friendly and down to earth as are most Mainers, and as are the entire staff operating this tour. You can also do on island yurt pretty comfy camping with the on island company. I'd consider coming back for a camping trip and we are not really campers. All told, this is a fun little 2 hour cruise and tour (small group and private tour) and you can't go wrong for what you get. This tour is highly recommended.

The narrative is... - The narrative is involved. I liked it but I think kids would be bored until they get underground. Be prepared to do some walking.
