Kayaking
Outfitters offer guided half-day and full-day trips, also
overnight and multiday expeditions with camping on Maine islands. When
paddling a kayak, you’re so low that you can stare down a duck or
a cormorant or study the surface of the water and its kaleidoscopic
patterns. Maneuverable in as little as 6 inches of water, kayaks are
ideal craft for
gunkholing” (poking in and out of coves).
The best over-all website belongs to the Maine Asociation of Sea Kayaking Guides & Instructors: www.maineseakayakingguides.com
The leading outfitters are Maine Island Kayak Company (1-800-796-2373; www.maineislandkayak.com) on Peaks Island off Portland, and Maine Sport Outfitters (207-236-7120) in Rockport, both of which specialize in multiday camping trips and offer introductory lessons.
