If you've ever dreamed of exploring the coast of Maine, this is the trip for you. Whether you want to learn navigation from the seat of a kayak or simply enjoy the richness of the Downeast Maine coast, this four-day adventure has plenty to offer.

We begin with a night at a Maine B&B. After a home-cooked breakfast the next morning, we'll introduce some basic navigation topics and then head for the water to practice the time-honored skills. During our three days of paddling together, we'll explore and camp on two of the coast's most idyllic islands. Dramatic scenery, great food, wonderful folks - it's as good as it gets!
