It was my first time kayaking and I was a little nervous. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and helped me with the basics. By the time I was in the water I was having fun and feeling confident. Be sure to go on the sunset tour and check out the sunset on the water. I guarantee that you will... more

My wife and I went on the Acadia Park Kayak tour and were very pleased with the entire experience. The tour leader was on the quiet side, but answered all our questions, was happy to take photos of us while we were paddling, and opened up more as the tour went on. I would recommend this trip to people who... more

This was by far the best thing we did on our trip to Bar Harbor. The tour was fantastic, the guide knowledgeable, and the sunset breathtaking. Observing other companies on the Island, this is clearly the best. By far the best equipment and safety techniques, and the camera bags were incredibly helpful. We were able to take some fantastic photos!... more

We started from the bridge street at around 5:00 P.M. and came back after the sunset. We kayaked to the neighhboring islands and the views during the trip were truely spectacular !!! Our guide (Brescian) was... more

Read about them here, read the website, was pretty excited. Wrote an email to book (very late, but anyway), made some phone calls, left a voice mail, hotel tried to call them. They've NEVER answered my inquiries for a kayak trip. Maybe because the weather was good and the season high, but anyway, this company seems to exist only on... more

I looked at reviews and the website and thought this would be awesome. Well the kayaks were good, the camera covers were there, but there was no dialogue with this dude. He arrived late by an 30 mins and it took him another 30 to get all kayaks as he works by himself. When we were at the island dude... more

I remember that trip and remember sensing that the NYC couple was dissatisfied. I am sorry that the person felt that the trip was boring. I am a sea kayak guide and not an entertainer. My primary job is to protect my clients and keep them safe and my secondary job is to answer their questions about the area and...

My husband and I put down deposit on a kayak tour with our credit card a week or so before we were to take a trip to Bar Harbor. Unfortunately we were unable to take the tour and canceled our reservation . Mr. Lander completely understood our situation and refunded our deposit with no problem. We were very disappointed that... more

We started the kayak tour in the evening which starts at around 6pm & you return post sunset. It was a little early in the tourist season, & just one more kayak tour operator had a tour for that evening. The first we noticed though was whereas they had around 12 people in their tour, Brescian (Acadia Park Kayak Guide)... more

We took the sunset tour and we were not disappointed! Not only did we kayak across mild ocean waters, but also got some great trivia about the local flora and fauna. Brescian, who runs Acadia Park Kayak tours is a really approachable and friendly person. He may not venture much information in the beginning but don't forget to ask him... more
