Excursion en kayak de mer au coucher du soleil sur la baie de Casco
Description
Les heures juste avant le coucher du soleil offrent le meilleur moment pour pagayer sur les eaux de la baie de Casco. Le ciel a tendance à exploser de couleurs et les mers deviennent souvent vitreuses et calmes. Ce voyage consiste à pagayer tranquillement juste assez loin le long du front de mer ou dans les îles pour profiter d'une vue panoramique sur le coucher de soleil sur la ville alors que nous ramenons vers la plage d'East End. Cette visite de deux heures est conçue pour les pagayeurs de tous niveaux d'expérience, y compris les kayakistes débutants. L'itinéraire exact que vous emprunterez dépendra des conditions météorologiques ainsi que des intérêts et de l'expérience du groupe, mais le Sunset Tour commence souvent par s'aventurer sur le front de mer du port de Portland, puis dans les eaux libres en direction des îles de la baie de Casco. Nous annulerons cette excursion s'il pleut régulièrement, s'il y a des vents forts ou d'autres conditions qui, selon nous, empêcheront les invités de vivre une excellente expérience de pagayage. Cependant, nous organiserons nos visites lorsqu'il y aura de légères averses, un ciel couvert ou des températures plus fraîches que la moyenne.

A group of us did the sunset kayak tour. I appreciated that Joe gave us some paddling instructions. We all enjoyed ourselves. The kayaks were all set up and ready to go, so we had maximum time on the water.
Either the guide (Joe) was lying to us or this trip was falsely advertised. We paid in advance for 3 adults and when we arrived, Joe informed us we would be using tandem kayaks. I said I was expecting single kayaks and he said it was "at the guide's discretion" and that it would be easier for HIM to manage the group if everyone were in tandem kayaks. What is noted in the description is, "Each child under age 16 must paddle in a tandem kayak with an adult." This leads the buyer to believe they will otherwise be using a single kayak and there is absolutely no mention of "the tour guide's discretion." We were a group of 3 adults and my husband was forced to tandem kayak with a complete stranger. "Joe" said, "Trust me, you'll like it" and "I think it's more fun this way" He repeated himself several times and then said to the group, "Oh look, she's giving me that mom look" and then said to the group, "She's giving me the evil eye" His behavior was beyond inappropriate and no, I did not like it one bit.
Lots of fun! had minimal kayaking experience before this adventure. The guide gave good instructions and with a bit of practice I was off and running. Our group was all tandem, which allowed us to go faster and farther. Saw seals and osprey.
Amazing tour! Our guide, Andy, went above and beyond to make it a great experience. After a brief orientation on their equipment we headed down to the water to our sea kayaks. The kayaks were very easy to steer with the rudders and we made good headway in the harbor. Andy made sure to keep the group together and spoke with the people in each boat as we paddled along. It was very relaxing as the sun set. Highly recommend the tour and book early.
We had a great time. Weather and wind were perfect and we were treated to great sunset and wildlife (seals and porpoises!). Heather was fantastic guide.
Really nice way to enjoy the harbor and sunset. Did the 5:45 time since that was all that was left but the timing was perfect for the sunset and seeing the seals. Heather was our guide and was so nice. We wore swimsuits- most people didn’t but I was glad we did because you do get a bit wet.
We had a great tour with Heather! The weather was perfect! We enjoyed getting to see the seals and a nice paddle around the nearby island with a beautiful sunset.
We did the sunset kayak tour and Heather was our guide. She was very helpful and knowledgeable and great to visit with on our kayaking tour. We had very limited experience kayaking prior to this trip. She was a great teacher! We definitely recommend this excursion!
We had a wonderful time on the water with Josh! The evening temperature was fantastic and we were able to see seals, gulls, and osprey!
Great excursion, beautiful scenery, professional guide, fun paddle, lots of wildlife, awesome adventure
