Day 3: Ferry to Nantucket.

You can learn about the island’s history at the whaling museum as a docent explains the whaling past and Quaker roots of Nantucket. If you’d rather, take a bike ride to Siasconset at the easternmost part of the island, or you can stay in town and visit more historical sights along the cobblestoned streets of the town center. At the end of the day you’ll ferry back to the Cape then shuttle to Chatham, where you’ll enjoy a delicious clambake.

You’ll return to the Cape Cod Rail Trail and take it to the end in Wellfleet before spinning along the country roads to the tip of the Cape. Along the way, you’ll be able to stop and tour a lighthouse and hike the surreal White Cedar Swamp Trail. As you travel through Wellfleet and Provincetown, the number of art galleries and unique shops you’ll pass are testimony to the thriving artist community on the Lower Cape.

Day 5: Whale watching cruise

After yesterday, you’ve earned the right to relax a bit.

After your cruise, you’re free to enjoy lunch at the restaurant of your choice and explore, at your own pace, the many shops and sights of Commercial Street in Provincetown. You’ll enjoy a farewell dinner by the water as you recall the week’s events and stories.
