3 Hr Kayak Trip- Craggy Kennebec Islands, Marshes &1800's Life Saving Stations
Similar deals
These kayak trips offer an exciting, enriching experience of dramatic coastal Maine with its diverse ecological environments (beaches, bays, marshes, islands, rocky shores) and wildlife. Nowhere else in the 48 states has such a crazy maze of coastal features. Wildlife is abundant and varied, with frequent sightings of seals, eagles and ospreys, shorebirds and waterfowl, and fish. Your guide is a PhD biologist and enhances your appreciation of the natural history you see with plenty of explanation of the "story behind the story". Add to that the delight of this relaxed and tranquil natural mode of travel -punctuated with moments of exhilarating action! And there are endless layers of remarkable regional history attached to the landmarks we visit (like forts and lighthouses), from the ancient through the colonial right up to modern times. Plus there is just enough instruction to get even total beginners cruising happily and safely or more experienced paddlers tuned-up.
