The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Glide across the luminous waters of Lake Champlain aboard a classic wooden schooner, with the Adirondacks turning gold at dusk. A bucket-list sail in one of North America's most storied inland seas.
Taste your way through Burlington's celebrated food scene — farm-to-table restaurants, artisan cheese shops, craft cider houses, and Vermont maple purveyors — on a curated small-group walk. Vermont's legendary food culture distilled into three delicious hours.
Go beyond the exhibits at Burlington's award-winning ECHO science centre with a private expert-led session exploring Lake Champlain's extraordinary biodiversity, geology, and the legend of Champ. Science made spectacular on the shoreline.
Cross Lake Champlain aboard the historic ferry to Port Kent, New York, then sweep through the foothills of the Adirondacks on a private scenic drive. Two states, one unforgettable morning.
Pedal the celebrated Burlington Bike Path and out onto the magical Colchester Causeway — a 3.5-mile rail-trail jutting into the open lake — with a knowledgeable local guide on premium bikes. Pure Vermont freedom on two wheels.
Explore the University of Vermont's Fleming Museum — a hidden gem housing world-class ancient, European, and American collections — with a private curator-led tour of the hilltop campus. Intellectual luxury in a collegiate New England setting.
