Tours and Lessons
Casco Bay Kayak does not run large group tours or lessons. All tours & lessons are private and uniquely based on your individual interests, tidal conditions, weather and other factors. We strive to create an coastal experience that will create lasting memories.
On our tours, we take advantage of the many local food products to stock our trips - breads, cheeses, meats, sweets and seasonal fruits are all included in our island picnic spreads. This is not your typical kayak tour food.

Whether you're visiting Maine or a local, Casco Bay Kayak wants to get you places you might not go without a guide. Having a trained local guide can expand your range and exposure to conditions if you choose. Or cruise the inland passages among Casco Bay's many islands.
Winter Paddling
Winter Paddling in Maine is not only possible but beautiful. There are certain criteria that must be met for a winter trip. The customer must have a dry suit or appropriate wetsuit, the air temp must be above 45F, calm winds and full sunshine. Otherwise it's just not fun.
Paddling on bluebird days after snowfall is especially gorgeous. These trips will be announced in advance on our website and Facebook page.
