As the dog days of summer fade away and the crisp autumn air breezes in, the city of Boston comes alive with vibrant colors galore. The city and surrounding areas are simply magical this time of year! Are looking for a unique way to view the changing leaves this autumn? I suggest hitting the water and exploring the city by boat on a scenic trip along the Charles with one of the Charles Riverboat Company's Fall Foliage Tours. I have taken a tour with them in the past and had such a fantastic time!
A fall foliage trip with Charles Riverboat Company is the perfect way to spend a relaxing autumn day in Boston.
This family-run company has been taking guests on the water since 1990.
Climb aboard the boat at the CambridgeSide Mall in Cambridge and get ready for 90 minutes of spectacular leaf peeping and lots of fall fun.
As you cruise along the banks of Boston and Cambridge, you will experience gorgeous views of Harvard University, the Boston skyline, and Memorial Drive.
You will also pass by the Charles River Esplanade, one of the city’s most beautiful places to spot colorful leaves.
While you sail, you can relax and enjoy your favorite cocktail. The boat has a full-service bar for your enjoyment.
The Fall Foliage tours run most Fridays and weekends throughout the month of October and into the first week of November, so there will be lots of opportunities for you to set sail on the water.
The Charles Riverboat Company also offers lots of other fun events including cocktail and sunset cruises, sightseeing tours, architectural cruises, and private events. This year, they are also featuring a spooky “Haunted Tales Sightseeing Cruise Along the Charles River,” which looks to be frightfully fun!
Have you cruised with Charles Riverboat Company? What sights caught your eye along the way? More information about their scenic cruises can be found on the Charles Riverboat Company website and the Charles Riverboat Company Facebook page. If you are looking for a great fall overnight offer in the Boston/Cambridge area, you may want to consider booking a stay at the Boxer Hotel.
If you prefer to enjoy foliage by land rather than by sea, consider taking a fall foliage train tour or bike trip. Both offer outstanding views of the gorgeous Massachusetts foliage.
