Maine Kayak Trips

Waking up this morning, there was a bit of a chill in the air - but paddling season is far from over! By midday, it's back up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit and the sun will be making its debut all day long over Johns, Muscongus, and Linekin bays. Sunscreen is a must for any Maine Kayak journey.

Getting out on the water in a kayak is arguably the most incredible way to see the coast. Driving down one of Maine's many peninsulas and seeing a glimpse of the water always makes us want to toss our boats on the trailer and head to the docks. When you paddle with us, you'll get to experience Maine's rocky shores, deep blue waves, playful sea life and many tiny islands in a whole new way.

For instance, have you ever seen a glorious sunset from a seaside spot? It's one of our favorite parts of a Maine Kayak trip. It doesn't matter if the skies are clear or if a wispy fog has settled - watching the light fading from the day from a secluded island or coastal inn never ceases to amaze.  Check it out...

Do you have your camera ready? We can't wait to show you the Maine coast in the cool morning hours, during the sunny midday, and in the beautiful moments just before nightfall.

Camp Becket Island Overnight Paddle

What do you get when a group of seven fourteen-year old boys, three camp counselors, and a few Maine Kayak guides embark on a paddling trip along the Maine Coast? Nothing but fun!  Ask us the best part and we'd probably have a difficult time choosing between swimming and jumping off of the rocks of Crow Island, seeing an osprey dive and catch a fish, or watching the curious harbor seals follow us over to Jim's Island in Muscongus Bay. Or, maybe it was "surfing" the waves all the way up the coast from Round Pond to Bremen with the wind at our backs. There's no doubt that the whoopie pies we ate for dessert were a big hit, as was the chance to drink Maine Root sodas and eat lobster rolls for lunch at the Anchor Inn Restaurant on Day 2 of the trip.

If we had to choose the absolute best part? We'd say it was the bilge pump water fights happening at random all along the paddle. Every man for himself!

Do you have a group that you'd like to take on an epic adventure? If you're looking for a unique outing along the Maine coast, collect your friends, family, or summer campers and we can make it happen!  Join us for a half day, full day, or even an overnight paddle.  What will the best part of your trip with Maine Kayak be?

Sea Kayaking in Muscongus Bay, Maine

What a great trip in Muscongus Bay today.  We paddled for a full day and had extremely calm conditions with lots of wildlife like seals, eagles and ospreys.  We launched at the top of the bay in the Hockamock Channel.  We paddled along the east side of Oar Island on our way to Crow Island for a stretch beak.  The fog lifted as soon as we started paddling and the day was beautiful.  We stopped for a lobster bake at Muscongus Bay Lobster Company and then paddled back to our take out.  As we approached Hog Island we could hear an eagle.  Sure enough, an immature eagle was on the shore line watching us paddle by.  What a sight!  We reached the end of our adventure at the Cora Cressy Shipwreck.

Come join Maine Kayak on our Muscongus Bay full day sea kayaking trip this summer.  We run the trip daily and provide everything you need.  We even take total beginners to advanced paddlers.  Come paddle with us!

Sea Kayak Half Day Trip - August 1st

We had a great day paddling with the Maine Arts Camp senior campers in Johns Bay yesterday.  We started out the morning with some instruction and warmed up our skills in Pemaquid Harbor.  After getting the feel for the kayaks we paddled by Fort William Henry State Historical Site and stopped on Little Beach for a picnic lunch.  The water was warm and great for looking for hermit crabs and star fish.

Our group launched off the beach for a paddle over to the Long Ledges in Johns Bay to look for seals.  We did see a large adult swimming around the rocks, although I was the only one to spot it.  After learning about the history of Johns Island we continued our paddle around the harbor and back into the river mouth.
