What you can expect

Begin your voyage in the same way early settlers did: by boat! Board the Salem Ferry in Boston and enjoy the scenery as you pass the Boston Harbour Islands and head up the coast of the North Shore before docking in Salem.

If you book a tour with a start time of 9:30 am, you'll start your day of exploring with a visit to the Salem Witch Museum. Be transported back to 1692 and experience the history of the Salem Witch Trials. Take away important lessons from how the events played out, meet the key figures who drove the witchcraft panic, and examine how these themes are applicable to modern culture.

You'll also have the opportunity to retrace the footsteps of Salem’s famous history with a walk through town. Honour the innocent victims at the Salem Witch Trial Memorial, hear of the lasting impact the Witch Trials left on the town, and learn how the present-day community continues to respect its legacy. Moving onto the Burying Point, your small group will visit the final resting place of notable Salem residents and some important figures from the Witch Trials.

Now that you’ve learned about the history, time to turn your attention to modern times and discover some seemingly out-of-place marks left behind by popular culture. Enjoy curious shopfronts, historic homes, and more as you roam Salem’s streets. Take some photos at the Bewitched Statue, and then walk up a historic street to the setting of Hocus Pocus: Ropes Mansion. Wrap up your guided tour with a visit to the First Church in Salem and the Witch House, both of which were significant to the Salem Witch Trials.

After your guided stroll through Salem, you'll have some free time to grab lunch and go shopping on your own. If you opted for the tour with a 9:25 am start time, you can use this time to visit the Real Pirates Museum on your own. Either way, there's plenty more to explore before you board the ferry back to Boston.
