Coastal Kayaking Tours

Coastal Kayaking Tours offers guided paddling experiences in Frenchman Bay and around the Porcupine Islands, welcoming beginners and experienced kayakers alike. Tours range from short harbor paddles to half-day outings and sunset excursions, with options designed for families, private groups and custom experiences. Each trip is led by Registered Maine Guides who provide paddling instruction, local insight and individual kayak fitting to ensure comfort and safety on the water. Along the way, paddlers may spot harbor seals, porpoises, bald eagles and other coastal wildlife while exploring Maine’s island-dotted shoreline. Tours begin and end in downtown Bar Harbor, making it easy to add time on the water to a day of exploring Mount Desert Island.
