Nantucket Walkabout is Nantucket's only year-round guided hiking service offering natural history walks on Nantucket's protected lands all over the island. We lead hikes during all seasons that inform on how, geologically, the island was created by the last glacier, how Nantucket got its unique collection of plants and wildlife, how and when Native Americans and European settlers impacted the island's natural world, conservation efforts, and what the future may hold for Nantucket.

Greetings from Nantucket!
➢Essential hike information: Most of our hikes are $65-$80/adults. All hikes for children under 13 are $30. Our Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge hike is $80/adults and our Smith’s Point hikes are $70/adults. For these two hikes, we have a two-person minimum. However, we do offer solo-hiker rates for each; $110 for Smith’s Point and $125 for Coskata Pond. Call us to book solo hikes. If you book and pay for a solo hike, and others later join the hike, we will refund you the difference between our solo and regular hike price for the hike.
Hike time periods are from pick up to drop off. Our pick up/drop off location is the Handlebar Cafe at 15 Washington St. across from the WAVE bus station. Before booking a hike, click on The Hikes to read about each hike and then check the Hike Calendar to see what’s offered and when. If you’re trying to join a hike with less than three hours before the hike pickup time, please call us at 508-422-7466 and leave a message so we can book you for the hike.
➢ Nantucket Walkabout will not be guiding hikes on Sunday, Aug. 25. We’ll be back to our regular schedule on Monday, Aug. 26.
➢ Nantucket Walkabout is pleased to offer a 20-percent military discount to active and retired military personnel, and their spouses. When booking your hike, please enter the promo code, MILITARYDISCOUNT when prompted to do so. If you’re booking a hike with non-military hikers, please book for yourself or, yourself and your spouse in a separate booking from your friends and family. Also, please present your military ID card to our guide at the time of pick up.
➢Did you know that Nantucket Walkabout sells gift cards in the same place on our website where you book your hikes from? Click on the green oval button that reads “Book a Hike” wherever it appears on our website. On the next page, click on Gift Card in the lower right of the page. Follow the prompts from there.
➢ If you’re in need of transportation for small groups while on Nantucket, Nantucket Walkabout’s van is available for your event at competitive rates. Give us a call at 508-422-7466 for information.
➢ Do you want Nantucket Walkabout guide Peter Brace all to yourself? For those who crave more attention from our guide than he can give during a typical hike with other people along for the walk, we offer you two options for bending both of Peter’s ears with endless questions. The first is the private group hike for you and up to 10 others. The second is a one-on-one or two-on-one hike on which you or you and a friend go on hike of your own design with our guide. With both options, you choose the hike, the day and the time throughout the year. You can make the hike as long or short as you like. Do just one of our hikes or customize your experience with elements of some or all of the eight hikes Nantucket Walkabout offers. This is great for those who want the whole island experience to get the big picture of how Nantucket came to be and evolved into the island she is today. Email us at peter@nantucketwalkabout.com to plan your private off-season hike with Nantucket Walkabout!
