We had a great morning on Casco Bay kayaking to Fort Gorges. Our guide was knowledgeable and did a great job of getting us ready for the kayaking.
One thing is that one hour at the Fort was a little long.

This has been on my 'to do' list for awhile so when my sister-in-law came to visit we decided to make the trip! We were in a tandem kayak when we went kayaking in Alaska so we already had that down pat. Our guide Dave was excellent! He gave us lots of interesting tidbits about the area and options about where to pull in and what to see. I would highly recommend this adventure!

Great experience. The guides were awesome, really chill and knowledgeable, and fun. I feel like it took my kayking to the next level with just the right amount of intensity. But also perfect for a one time thing, if you just wanna try it. Finn was hella cool. You got a repeat paddler here, for sure.
