Maine Kayak’s sea kayaking tours are taught as successive instructional clinics of half to full days each. Each trip is dedicated to specific skill development and progresses from basic skills to intermediate paddling techniques over the course of the entire program. Maine Kayak’s sea kayaking program is designed to be flexible to the needs of the customer. Sheltered harbors and deep bays provide a consistent instructional forum all season long, from May to October.
We believe getting people outdoors helps the body and soul. Participation in outdoor activities allows people to commune with nature and relax and recharge in a serene environment. Sea kayaking provides people with a leisure experience, which removes them from the stresses of everyday life and provides an environment for physical strengthening and mental relaxation. Maine Kayak offers a half and full day trips for all ages and all abilities.

HALF DAY:
The half-day tours will begin in the morning with a brief introduction to sea kayaks and the equipment involved. Then you will learn skills such as boat handling, paddle placement and strokes, and self-rescue maneuvers. Maine Kayak will take advantage of sea kayaking locations that are accessible to major population centers and serve as vacation destinations for many Maine visitors, such as Casco Bay, Muscongus Bay, and Penobscot Bay. This half-day format is designed to give anyone the opportunity to learn how to kayak and be outdoors.

FULL DAY:
The full day tours begin with basic kayak maneuvers, similar to the half-day format. This trip is designed to offer the proper skills needed to enjoy a day on the water. We will paddle the morning and take a break for a real Maine lobster lunch. The remainder of the afternoon, we will leisurely paddle around wild rock islands and deep up into wildlife abundant estuaries. Sea kayaking Maine’s coast with seals, ospreys, puffins, and Whales with friends makes life long memories.
