Mass Audubon Hosts Cuttyhunk and Penikese Island Cruises

Liz IslandsFALMOUTH – Join the Mass Audubon Naturalists for a day-long excursion to both Penikese and Cuttyhunk Islands in the renowned Elizabeth Island chain.

On a privately chartered vessel, the trip will leave from Falmouth Harbor for an hour and a half long cruise through Vineyard Sound, Buzzards Bay and along the Elizabeth Islands.

Shipboard commentary will focus on landmarks, geology, wildlife and the history of these quiet, protected islands.

Discover the unique history of Penikese Island and view its colonies of rare tern species.

The tour will spend an hour and a half exploring the island so that visitors can get a sense of its environmental and historical significance.

Participants will spend four hours on Cuttyhunk enjoying the quaint village and harbor while exploring for migratory songbirds and watching for passing raptors from Lookout Hill.

Participants will have a choice of a short or long guided walk.

The long hike focuses more on birds and natural history, while the short hike highlights the island’s history and landmarks.

Afterward, participants will have time to visit a gift shop and swim or explore on their own.

At the end of the day, participants can enjoy the relaxing boat trip back to the mainland.

The cruises start on September 4 and continue on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until October 2.

The costs for Mass Audubon members is $53 and $58 for non-members.
