Experience Squam is a very popular tourist attraction- for this reason, we suggest you book your tour well in advance. We provide life jackets for infants through adults, a cooler, ice, bottle opener, cups, towels and binoculars. Don't forget- you are always welcome to bring along food, beverages and spirits. You will meet the boat at the dock behind Walter's Basin in Holderness, NH to begin your excursion, unless you are staying on the lake.  If you are staying on the lake the boat will pick you up at your dock.

General Excursions
The boat holds up to 9 adults squishy, 9 kids with adults comfy or 7 adults comfy. Children 12 and under are required to wear life jackets. The life jackets that we provide for children are stylish and comfortable.

Rates for General Excursions
$215 for 2 1/2 hours or $95 per hour

Due to the increase in gas prices, in addition to these charges we have to charge an additional $20 per "engine" hour gas surcharge.  A boat measures its operating time with an hour meter vs a car has an odometer.  A 2 1/2 hour general excursion usually only uses @ 1 "engine" hour, so the additional cost would be $20 for the 2 1/2 hour excursion.
 

Fall Tours
When the water cools down and the leaves change colors, Experience Squam offers a scenic tour of the lake. Along with the most beautiful foliage, you will often see groups of loons gathering, and with luck you might see a flight school expedition for the young loons learning to fly. Large groups of migratory birds often stop to rest along their journey south which can be a spectacular sight. Bald eagles have been spotted regularly as well as mergansers, blue heron and cormorants. Tour historic Church Island, stroll along the Chamberlain Reynolds boarded swamp walk, or see sights from scenes of On Golden Pond.
