Magical experience!!

"My sister and I had a two hour guided ocean tour with Chris. He was very knowledgeable and patient in teaching us a number of additional strokes and maneuvers. The area is also absolutely breathtaking. The water was crystal clear and we even saw a jellyfish. I cannot recommend this enough. I am taking my husband here next time we visit Acadia."

Pretty Unforgettable!

"I went paddle boarding with my sister during the labor day weekend. Our tour guide was Nell and she was awesome. We were both first-timers and I really appreciate how she took the time to go over all the different techniques to make the experience not seem intimidating. She was also super chill and was great to chat with out in the water. It was such an amazing experience. It definitely made my trip to Maine unforgettable!"

Great Time!

We had an incredible time with Acadia SUP. Our instructor Chris was super knowledgeable, funny and did a great job of mixing instruction with interesting facts about the island and funny anecdotes. A beautiful way to see the harbor. Thanks for a super time!

Very Enjoyable Experience

"We could not have asked for a better time! Nell, our leader, was the most friendly, informative, and cool person I’ve met in a long time. It was raining during our session, but that made wildlife spotting even better. We saw schools of fish and even a few seals!"

Great time

"Was first time paddle boarding for my wife, only 2nd time for myself & 3 children. Had Long Pond almost to ourselves, beautiful setting. Terry was great with the kids and was a great instructor, had us up and enjoying the lake in no time. Would recommend to novices and experienced alike."

I Highly Recommend

I paddle boarded for the first time and it was amazing . Chris was my instructor . I could not have asked for the better instructor and the spot . Chris was very patient, knowledgeable , gave clear instructions including safety instructions , and helped us to be comfortable on the board and out on the water. The spot he picked was magical . The water was crystal clear and perfect temperature . The entire experience was amazing . You have to do it !
