Overview

Join us for an unforgettable voyage through the Outer Cape! Our expedition will commence with a picturesque drive through the Provincelands National Seashore, where we'll marvel at three ancient lighthouses that have safely guided seafarers for generations. Next, we'll journey to the Truro Highland Lighthouse for a guided tour of the towering structure – you'll even have the opportunity to climb to its summit! This remarkable lighthouse boasts a museum and a charming gift shop, offering awe-inspiring, panoramic vistas of the Atlantic coastline. To conclude our day, we'll take a tranquil stroll to the Highland House Museum. This true hidden treasure showcases the diverse maritime, Native American, and American art history all under one roof—just a friendly reminder: the Highland House Museum reopens on June 1st. You'll have ample time to explore the National Seashore by booking before then. I'm excited to share this incredible experience with you!
