    Do the tours run in June? We are hoping to be there between June 21 - 28. Also is there transportation from the hotels? We have not booked a place yet - any suggestions as we won't have a car? Many Thanks for your help.

    Hi, thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately I am still fishing lobster commercially until June 30th so we don't start our lobster tours until the first of July.
