Discover Casco Bay from a whole new perspective with our Sea Kayak to an Island Tour. Before hitting the water, you'll learn the basics of sea kayaking on land, making this experience perfect for beginners. Then, set out from Mere Point in Brunswick for a relaxing three-hour paddle through Northwest Casco Bay.
We often paddle south to the end of Mere Point for a great photo opportunity, then visit a nearby island for a break, some snacks, and shoreline exploration. On our way back, we'll take a different route close to another island, giving you a fresh view of the bay. Throughout the trip, your Master Maine Guide will share fascinating local history and adjust the pace based on your comfort and paddling skills.
Sea kayaking is an easy, enjoyable way to see the area from the water. Keep an eye out for seabirds like gulls, cormorants, ducks, herons, egrets, and ospreys. If luck is on our side, we might even spot a seal or a bald eagle. This tour is family-friendly and suitable for all ages and fitness levels, making it a perfect adventure for everyone.
