The Jewels of Cape Cod

Imagine New England at its most rose-covered, cobblestoned, and picture-postcard perfect - and you have found the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Join our six-day bike tour as we explore these jewels of Cape Cod.

The small size and flat terrain of these islands make them ideal places for bicycling. With 73 miles of bike paths to choose from, you'll have a care-free time exploring the world of old whaling captains' mansions and seaside cottages, with their climbing pink roses on gray cedar shingles, and exquisite gardens. Cycle through historic harbors containing quaint inns, boutique stores, galleries, blinking lighthouses, chowder shacks, and upscale dining delights.
