7 Seas Whale Watch

[Value for money] AAA members can buy cheap tickets. There are not many people on the boat, and the space reserved for each photographer is relatively large, so it is highly recommended for friends who want to immerse themselves in whale watching. [Fun] For friends with children, there is an area specially prepared for children in the cabin, which is very suitable for parent-child travel.

Halibut Point State Park

Halibut Point State Park in Rockport, Massachusetts, is a coastal gem offering dramatic ocean views and unique geological features. Once a granite quarry, the park now features rugged cliffs, tidal pools, and walking trails that wind along the rocky shoreline. Visitors can enjoy hiking, picnicking, birdwatching, and exploring the old quarry remnants while taking in sweeping vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. In spring and summer, wildflowers add vibrant color to the landscape, and the observation tower provides a panoramic view of the coastline. Ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and families, Halibut Point combines natural beauty, history, and outdoor adventure in one scenic location.

Boston Duck Tours

The experience was very good. The tour guide kept talking for an hour and entertained everyone. You can experience all the city views on land and water. The moment you got into the water, everyone was recording. When you met other duck boats during the journey, everyone would imitate the duck's call to greet each other

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Definitely worth a visit! The collection is incredibly rich; even 2-4 hours isn't enough to fully appreciate it. I recommend going early when it opens to avoid crowds and enjoy a quieter experience. A guided tour is highly recommended; the service is excellent, highlighting key points and preventing unnecessary wandering. There are so many wonderful things, I can't upload them all on my camera!
