| | The Maine coast, with its rugged peninsulas and 3,000 islands, is almost too pretty to imagine - - until you see it for yourself from the unique perspective of a sea kayak. Day kayak tours are paddled in the waters surrounding Mount Desert Island. |
What are the highlights of taking a kayak tour in Bar Harbor?
You will tour the surrounding waters of Acadia National Park, a premier destination for sea kayakers. Take a kayak trip amongst the smaller Porcupine Islands in search of its abundant wildlife. These islands are primarily owned by Acadia National Park , therefore leaving them mostly undeveloped, making this an ideal area to witness the beauty this region has to offer. Watch for seals, eagles and porpoise while enjoying vistas of Maine’s coastline and historical Bar Harbor.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what type of tour you take, prices range from $40 to $60 a person.
When is the best time of year to take a tour?

Is transportation provided to the launch sites?
It depends on what tour outfitter you choose so when you contact the outfitter make sure to ask if pick up service is provided.
