This tour was great! The scenery was magnificent and everything took place as advertised. We would repeat with this operator.

Inexpensive but Worthwhile

This "tour" is actually just the normal ferry run in Casco bay to the islands. The captain of our ferry did mention points of interest and wildlife as we cruised the bay. It was interesting to see the island residents with their carts full of goods going home. The experience lets you take a peek at another way of life.

The Diamond Pass run excursion was very informative. Saw many animals and sites we would never have seen. The narrator was extremely informative and the pilot of the ferry turned, slowed down and made sure we didn't miss anything. Would recommend this tour to everyone.

Portland Ferry Cruise of Casco Bay
September 27, 2019
Loved it! Think it was one hour and forty five minutes on the ferry and supply transport to various island docks that gave a great perspective of the Portland area off shore (Casco Bay) island coastlnes, summer homes and birds. Take your binoculars. Highly recommend and a great value.

Inexpensive way to see some sights

The Diamond Pass Run excursion was just as described. From booking to check in, all went smoothly. The departure point is any easy walk from the cruise port and well signed. There were a number of stops to drop things off and pick up supplies and passengers. There was a brief commentary along the way. I would highly recommend this excursion to see the islands and shore lines at an affordable price.

Diamond Pass Run

This was an interesting trip since people who live on the islands were on the boat carrying grocery bags and push carts full to the brim with their purchases on the city. We stopped at many island docks to let people on and off. The scenery was spectacular and we were very close to land all the time.

Best Shore Excursion in Portland
October 19, 2017
A short walk from the cruise pier, we would recommend this mail boat trip, if you don't want to spend a lot of money or time on an excursion. The Casco Bay Ferry shuttled people and freight out to the outlying islands. The captain provided interesting commentary about the area history. Beautiful scenery, nice boat ride, easy to do.

Worth the $20.00 Price
September 25, 2017
The Diamond Pass Run was a scenic and relaxing excursion. The terminal was easy to find from the ship and a short walk. We thought it was unusual, however, that there was no "tour guide" narrating the trip. Still, a good value.

Fun Ferry Ride
August 01, 2017
Almost a two hour ferry ride around Portland. It is used for commuting from Portland to the nearby islands where people have summer homes. There are some hearty year rounders as well. Fun watching people get on and off and seeing the lovely Victorian homes. Look out for kids who jump off the pier into the wake of the departing ferry. Plenty of time to walk and shop the quaint town of Portland.

This excursion is well worth the money. Amble time on board the boat which took us through several islands where tourists and locals enjoy. The scenery is fantastic and we can not have asked for more.

For CAD22.70, I actually did not expect much, but I was surprised. The run was absolutely fabulous. Scenery among the many small islands in the Bay is so full of life and yet serene in another sense. Our money well spent!
