Activity itinerary

Old Port

1h 45m

Step onto the heart of Portland’s maritime soul at the Working Waterfront, where weathered docks and salty air still tell the storey of a city built by the sea. As fishing boats unload the day’s catch and gulls wheel overhead, you’ll feel the pulse of a harbour that feeds both Portland’s economy and its culture. This stop offers more than just a view—it’s a chance to experience a living, breathing connection to the sea, where tradition and industry meet in every tide and timbered wharf.

Harbor Fish Market

15m
Admission ticket included

Step inside Portland’s most iconic fish market, nestled right on the working waterfront. At Harbour Fish, you’ll get a sample of the freshest catch while standing just feet from the docks where it all comes in. This final stop is a true taste of Casco Bay, where generations of Mainers have sourced their seafood. Enjoy the salty air, the bustle of the market, and the unbeatable flavour of the ocean, right where sea meets city.
