Bar Harbor – Mount Desert Island & Acadia National Park

Exploratory Day Tour

Our Day “Exploratory” tours are a ideal for those who are visiting the Bar Harbor / Mount Desert Island area and want to spend the greater portion of a day sea kayaking.

  • Registered Maine guides

  • Depart from our private kayak docks and keep your feet dry

  • Small groups of 8 or less

  • Fiberglass sea kayaks

Day Tour: We will begin the tour with a hands on safety/kayak lesson.  Once we are all comfortable and ready we will launch from our kayak docks onto the waters surrounding Mount Desert Island.  We will start our 6-9 mile roundtrip paddle by heading into the Porcupine Islands.  These islands are a wonderful spot for viewing an abundant variety of wildlife. While on the water your knowledgeable and friendly Maine registered kayak guide / naturalist will educate you about the surrounding region and wildlife while helping you further improve your kayaking skills and making sure you have a great time.  Approximately half-way through our paddle we will land on a beach for a snack break and some mild exploration.  After our refreshing break we will head back out onto the water and begin our trip back.  Be sure to take in the panoramic views of Mount Desert Island with Cadillac Mountain (1530 feet) towering above it all.

What to see: Bald Eagles, Seals, Porpoises, Great Blue Herons, Osprey, Sea Stars, forests of Firs and Spruce.

What to bring: Layered clothing (T-shirt, sweatshirt, windbreaker or an outer shell), long pants or shorts, sunglasses, sun block, hat, lip balm, comfortable foot wear, water, a sack lunch, a camera (may possibly get wet) and a great attitude.

No experience necessary.
