This comprehensive excursion highlights affluent Kennebunkport with a scenic cruise passing the oceanfront estate of a former President, lunch at a classic Maine inn Inn, and a stop at the state's oldest lighthouse.
A scenic drive south brings you to Kennebunkport, with views of Maine's rocky shoreline en route.
A charming coastal village, Kennebunkport gained worldwide fame in the early 1990s as the summer residence of the George H.W. Bush family. The architecture here is extraordinary with fine examples of 18th- and 19th-century restored home.
Upon arrival at Dock Square, board an authentic Maine sightseeing boat for a picturesque cruise along the Kennebunk River and out to the Ocean. From the boat, take in wonderful views of the Kennebunkport, the idyllic shoreline and landmarks such as the Bush compound on Walker's Point.
Enjoy some free time in Dock Square to browse in the upscale shops and art galleries.
Nonantum Resort is one of the oldest, most beautiful New England-style inns in Kennebunkport. This Native Algonquian word means 'blessing'. Sit down to a classic Maine lunch of chowder, lobster roll (or chicken salad) and a blueberry-infused dessert.
Returning to Portland, you'll stop at Fort Williams Park -- home to the famous Portland Head Light -- for some time to take photos of Maine's oldest lighthouse. First illuminated in 1791 using whale-oil lamps, the lighthouse stands 72 feet tall and is one of America's most-photographed buildings.
Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes.
