Itinerary
Day 1 - Norwalk, CT
Today’s adventure brings us to Norwalk, CT to see the beautiful Maritime Aquarium!
The marine population they exhibit includes varieties of sharks, stingrays, harbor seals, sea turtles, game fish, jellies, crabs, lobsters, mollusks, and more. They also offer lots of touch experiences including: stingrays, sharks, jellyfish and intertidal animals. On your own, check out the IMAX theater which is the largest screen in CT that shows movies daily!
After the aquarium, hop aboard the R/V Spirit of the Sound for a cruise along the Long Island Sound! Revolutionary in design, this 64-foot all-aluminum catamaran was launched in 2015 as the first research vessel in North America that has hybrid-electric propulsion. She runs virtually silently on electric power.
After the cruise, we will head to an early dinner at Silver Star Diner. First built in 1980 by the Savvidis brothers, it was the largest modular Diner of its time at 8,000 square feet. Now being managed by the third Savvidis generation, they are successfully keeping up with the times, making Silver Star a fixture to Norwalk’s locals, and visitors alike.
