The Jeep rumbles off Highway 105 and the ocean pulls into view — salt-bright air, cliffs that dare you to walk closer, and a road that curves like a ribbon along the edge of the world. On this private Mini Cabot Trail tour you ride in a removable-roof Jeep, dipping on and off pavement to reach lookouts, wharves, and beaches that are quieter than the main viewpoints.

Book the sunset slot
