Take a relaxing and informative river tour on The Explorer and discover the history and scenery of Providence Harbor, and the Seekonk and Pawtucket Rivers.

Join them as you pass through the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier (*weather dependent) and catch great views of the beautiful Providence skyline. You’ll travel up the Seekonk River and pass under the Washington Bridge…the turnpike that historically presented easier access from Providence, RI to New Bedford, MA. as whale oil was very important to early factories and the iconic Crook Point Bascule Bridge known for being stuck open.  The tours travel further upriver toward Pawtucket – a changing landscape that delivers opportunities to see eastern shore birds such as Osprey, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Double-crested Cormorant, and an occasional American Bald Eagle feeding, flying, and resting.
