From stargazing to scenic flights, the skies of Maine beckon with incredible adventures and astonishing beauty. Soar among the clouds over Maine’s lush forests or recline beneath the night sky glittering with stars. Day or night, the views will fill you with awe.

Aerial Experiences

Take to the skies in a hot air balloon ride to float effortlessly above the forests and rivers (or to take in some of the best views of fall foliage in Maine). Numerous aviation companies also offer scenic flight tours for stunning views of coastal harbors, historic lighthouses and rugged wilderness areas such as Acadia National Park.

For aerial adventures a little closer to the ground, bring the whole family to a treetops adventure course for exciting ziplines, swinging bridges, ropes courses and other fun obstacles.

Stargazing & Astronomy

Or keep your feet on the ground and let your mind wander into outer space. The AMC Maine Woods International Dark Sky Park is the first and only International Dark-Sky Park in New England, and its exceptionally dark skies offer a glimpse into the wonders of the universe.

Meanwhile, on April 8, 2024, parts of Maine will be in the path of totality for the rare solar eclipse, when the moon completely covers the sun for a few minutes of total darkness—during the daytime.
