Guided three hour "Taste of Sea Kayaking" tours are intended for those who have a lot to do in the Bar Harbor/Mount Desert Island area and not a lot of time or would like to simply try out sea kayaking in this kayakers’ paradise.
These kayak tours leave from custom made finger slips on the outskirts of Bar Harbor looking out onto Frenchman Bay. Here, Crystal Seas Kayaking will introduce you to kayaking, get you familiar with and provide you with all of the necessary kayaking equipment and give you an informative kayak/safety lesson. Once everyone is comfortable and ready, you will launch from kayak docks onto the waters surrounding Mount Desert Island. The five to six-miles round trip paddle will start by heading into the Porcupine Islands. These islands are a wonderful spot for viewing an abundant variety of wildlife. While on the water, your knowledgeable and friendly Maine registered kayak guide/naturalist will educate you about the surrounding region and wildlife while helping you further improve your kayaking skills and making sure you have a great time. On the way back, you will see panoramic views of Mount Desert Island with Cadillac Mountain (1530 feet) towering above it all.
What to see: Bald Eagles, Seals, Porpoises, Great Blue Herons, Osprey, Sea Stars, forests of Firs and Spruce.
No experience necessary.
