Explore the Island
Take enough time to explore some of Nantucket’s incredible sights while you are here.
The best ways to get an overview of the Island and it’s distinct neighborhoods is taking a 2 hour guided tour by bus or mini-van. We like Gail’s Tours best but there are others who are also excellent. The focus is more on history and who lives here. For those who desire a guided tour by bike, try Nantucket by Bike. You can tour the island by NRTA bus.
For Bus/walking and bike maps of the island go to WheelsHeelsAndPedals.com/.
We can’t say enough about a drive to Great Point (Coskata-Cotue Wildlife Refuge) 1,117 acres. There are 2 guided trips a day or you can rent a 4-wheel drive yourself.
Nantucket Conservation Foundation owns 30% of Nantucket. Get their trail maps and guides to amazing properties. Especially Sanford Farm, Middle Moors, and Squam Swamp. Great web site!
Nantucket Land Bank owns another 2,400+ acres and has great walking trails with outstanding website maps.
