These fun, historic journeys around Hampton and Seabrook Beaches are fully narrated. Each tour covers land and sea and lasts approximately one hour.

As the land portion of your tour begins, you will have the opportunity to view many of the historic home's and land marks that make up Hampton Beach.  Your Captain will deliver an informative narration of  "The Story of Hampton Beach: Past, Present, & Future"; and it's esturary.  Spectacular scenery and wildlife await you as we travel alongside the Atlantic Ocean, making our way through Hampton Beach.  Here you'll view many historic spots such as the "Lady of the Seas" statue, the Isles of Shoals in the distance, the Hampton Shell, and the Hampton Beach Casino.  Then it's back through Hampton Beach heading south to the scenic Hampton-Seabrook estuary, a 'harbor' formed by the confluence of many "drowned" river mouths.  And then...

Prepare for the SPLASHDOWN!!!

We'll drive right into the water and give you a "Mariner's View" of things.  So, be prepared to see parts of our scenic area and its wildlife from a totally different perspective; that of the many fishermen who have used these waters for generations to harvest the sea, and provide the public with the excitement of fishing and whale watching.  This remarkable tidal estuary is still an active commercial area, and you will have a chance to learn some of the techniques used by commercial fishermen, and, depending on the tides, the remarkable ecological insight that only a tidal estuary of this size can provide.  Bring a camera (and binoculars, if you have them) to capture your own memories.

The Platypus Tours depart from the "Platy Shack" at Hampton State Marina just north of the Hampton River Bridge, on the West side of Rt 1A. See our schedule and fares for tour availability.
