Wonderful paddle on open waters, fascinating introduction to oyster farming, delicious FRESH oysters, and exhilarating experience. Can't wait to do it again, and would happily repeat at all times of year and in all kinds of weather conditions. Alice is fun, knowledgeable and imparts skills along with natural and cultural history. Highly recommended.

Tasting oysters harvested from the ocean where they were grown is significantly different and better than eating them at an oyster bar, especially when you just shucked them! Freshness counts! This sea kayaking tour that teaches you the basics of sea kayaking on land before launching at Mere Point in Brunswick to visit a working oyster farm in NW Casco Bay!  After visiting the oyster farm, we'll stop on an island for your lesson on shucking, tasting, and snacks. Learn about aquaculture in Maine and how it improves the health of the bays. Sea kayaking is an easy, fun way to sight see from the water.  We often see different kinds of sea gulls, cormorants, black and mallard ducks, eider ducks, great blue herons, snowy egrets, osprey and bald eagles. If we are lucky, we will see a seal. Paddlers of all ages will love exploring Casco Bay in this protected, scenic, historic area! No experience is needed. Single and double kayaks are used on this eco-guided tour by a Master Maine Guide.

We didn’t get to really kayak due to winds, which I get but maybe should have been cancelled instead of a ten minute paddle. Also people should know you are required to carry on and off your own kayaks, so not for everybody.

The oyster farm kayak tour was such an amazing experience, especially with Alice! Alice has such depth of knowledge about the area and oyster farms. We learned so much throughout the tour and couldn’t recommend it more. The complimentary oysters were a nice touch and let us enjoy the views and experience even more. Even though my partner and I don’t have a lot of kayaking experience, Alice was helpful in giving us tips for kayaking safely and effectively. On our way back to the boat launch from the oyster tasting, the winds picked up quite a bit and Alice got us and the group back to shore safely. Thank you for such a great experience, Alice!

If you love kayaking, nature, and oysters, then this is the tour for you! Alice was a wonderful guide who is knowledgeable of lots of local and sea life facts. She does an amazing job preparing you to use a kayak and really knows the best spot for an oyster picnic! Our group had an amazing time- couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She takes pictures for you along the way and even shares some of her world famous blueberry mignonette!!!
