Lead by the owner Pete, a very experienced Registered Maine Guide, he will meet you at one of our regular launch locations or one of your choice if you don't see what you want on our list.
After a gearing up, a safety briefing, and paddle lesson you will hit the water to explore. The pace will be set by the group so it can be as intense or as relaxing as you want
Pete is well versed in local wildlife, geology, history and is passionate about sharing his knowledge about paddling and Maine.
One of the most challenging parts of paddling the coast of Maine is just choosing where to paddle in the first place. in all of Pete's time on the water he has never found a "bad" place to paddle. Each area offers a different flavor of excursion. To help guide you we have listed a few featured trips, and have also created "playlists" of other great possible trips.
