This entertaining and educational two-hour cruise on the Lulu -- a Downeast Maine-style lobster boat -- is set on Frenchman Bay and around the Porcupine Islands, offering delightful views of Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island.
The captain will haul lobster traps during the cruise to show what a commercial lobsterman does to catch the lobsters, how the trap works, and how they are baited. Learn about the biology and anatomy of the lobsters, crabs and other fascinating creatures in the traps, and hear about Maine's regulations to make lobstering so successful.
Seal watching, and a discussion of this marine mammal’s habitat, anatomy, biology, and life cycle are included. The route usually passes Egg Rock Lighthouse to visit the seal colony.
Notes:
Not advisable for wheelchairs. Minimum age is 6 years. Tour may not be exclusive to Holland America Line guests. Wildlife sightings, while common, are not guaranteed.
