Join us for a long Labor Day weekend exploring two of New England's most beautiful coastal destinations, Newport, Rhode Island and Nantucket, Massachusetts.
We'll leave Saturday morning and spend most of the day exploring Newport, with its gorgeous coastline, historic Gilded Age mansions, harbor, charming streets, shops, restaurants and famous Cliff Walk. Newport has a great mix of history, scenery and things to do, so everyone can choose what interests them most.
On Sunday, we'll take a high-speed ferry to Nantucket and spend the day exploring the island. Nantucket is a completely different experience, historic cobblestone streets, beautiful beaches, lighthouses, old whaling-era architecture, boutique shops, galleries, seafood and plenty of places to relax by the water. We'll explore the historic downtown, visit the Whaling Museum, rent a bike, head to the beach, check out the lighthouses, or just wander around and enjoy the island atmosphere.
We'll be staying both night conveniently close to both locations. On Monday we can see everything we didn't have a chance on Saturday in Newport. And we'll be heading back toward NYC around 5 PM. There will be plenty of flexibility throughout the weekend, and we'll put together a full itinerary with suggested activities, restaurants, ferry details and things to do for anyone who wants to follow a plan.
We will meet in the city and travel together (transportation provided) The cost of the trip, which includes Lodging, Transportation and Ferry, is $650 for an individual and $485 for a shared room.
