Sunset Tours (Sunset 3-Hour Tours)…

• Registered Maine guides

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

• Small groups of 8 or less

• Fiberglass sea kayaks

Departing in the early evening these spectacular tours begin by embracing the beautiful early evening weather and end savoring the tranquility and romance of some of the most breath-taking sunsets you may ever see.

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 5-6 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.  Half way through the trip we will take a brief floating break and then begin our trip back watching the path of the setting sun.  Be sure to take in the panoramic views of Mount Desert Island with Cadillac Mountain (1530 feet) towering above it all.

Examples of some commonly seen flora and fauna: Bald Eagles, Seals, Porpoises, Great Blue Herons, Osprey, Sea Stars, forests of Firs and Spruce.
