Only in July and August, is the Rose Island Lighthouse easily accessible. The Cliffside’s Rose Island Lighthouse Package gains you access to this majestically restored Victorian, while the boat ride out to Rose Island serves as its own grand tour of Newport Harbor.

The Eco Tour Adventure Walks Package is not only a nature and eco lovers delight, but also a great way to get out and walk Newport's most stunning coastal vistas and rolling hills, plus enjoy a relaxing oceanside wine tasting. Entry, guides, and walking maps for Norman Bird Sanctuary, Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge, the Cliff Walk, and Greenvale Vineyards are all included in this package.

Newport is said to have more great architecture than any other American city, with a history to match. Guests discover it all with the History & Architecture Walking Tour Package which includes lunch at The White Horse Tavern, America's oldest tavern.
