What you can expect

This trip offers an island-hopping adventure in the archipelago of gorgeous islands that lie along the edge of Casco Bay. The many islands create endless options, so your exact route will depend on the weather conditions and tide cycles. On some days we take a one-way route that allow the group to venture further into the islands and keep the wind at our backs as much as possible.

You'll look out for wildlife like seals, eider ducks, herons and osprey and you'll enjoy views of some of the bay's most fascinating landmarks, including lighthouses and historic forts. Halfway through the trip you'll stop at an island for a break. Your guide will provide a snack (fresh fruit and cookies) and you are welcome to bring a picnic lunch.

Portland Paddle is located at the East End Beach, just a short walk or drive from historic downtown Portland, Maine.
