How we would fit it into your day

Plan from Boothbay Harbor. Boothbay and Southport are separate towns; Southport is reached by bridge. Confirm the exact boarding point on your ticket. Seasonal tours and the botanical gardens remain available to browse until dates are verified. Gardens Aglow uses separate advance timed tickets. No island landing or wildlife sighting is guaranteed.

Before you go

Daytime admission and Gardens Aglow are separate. Confirm seasonal opening dates and purchase the correct ticket. Service animals only; ordinary pets are not permitted. Browse this option until dates are confirmed.

Use the official information below to check opening hours, access, admission and current conditions.
