Captain Jamie Robertson does a great job at finding wildlife even at the end of the season. Probably found the last two puffins of the season today. Friendly and knowledgeable. I also liked how his tours max out at 6 people making the tour more warm and personable. And yes we saw harbor and grey seals, porpoises, puffins and lighthouses. Easily worth the $.

We planned a tour within Captain Robertson, and had it fall unfortunately on a rainy day, so we had to reschedule. We managed to get a booking a few days later. It was a great sunny day and we had a fantastic visit out to Petit Manan Island to see many puffins, terns, eider ducks and seals by the lighthouse and point on the island. The trip out was at pretty high speed and was exciting. We also stopped along the way to see a peregrine falcon, ospreys nesting and some seals taking some sun on the rocks. I enjoyed being in a smaller boat with less people for the tour . The Captain was very professional and explained many of the sites and wildlife to us as well. Great tour!

Amazing tour to see puffins and lighthouses!
I’ve always wanted to view puffins, and picked this particular guide as there is a limit of 6 guests. That meant it was personal and allowed for interactions with the captain/guide. His knowledge of birds, history of lighthouses and islands was excellent. I highly recommend this tour and will bring other family members to experience it in the future!

A great experience! The small group size made the trip well worth the little extra cost. It felt almost like a personal trip, and we were afforded able viewing opportunities of the bird colonies at Petit Manan. I took a larger boat trip through a company the following day and was nowhere as impressed as I was with Robertsons. If you're a birder and or photographer, or just hate crowds, this tour is hands down the best way to go. Also another bonus is Chipman's Warf right up the road - phenomenal lobster roll and great prices

This is the fourth time I have gone out on Robertson Sea Tours over the years: so that in itself speaks volumes as a returning customer. Took some friends that were visiting us and had a great time. The Puffins and other sea birds were in abundance at the lighthouse plus saw seals and a Peregrine Falcon, Ospreys, and Bald Eagles. The scenery was spectacular and Captain Jamie was his usual personable self, answering any questions and giving us lots of information on all types of things. Good memories that will last! Thanks!

This is the third time we’ve taken this trip, and we would totally recommend it to anyone who wants a great tour and lots of wildlife. We hit a perfect weather day, and we saw so many birds. Captain Robertson does an excellent job and clearly loves what he does.

We had an incredible Lighthouse Tour! Capt. Jamie is a great leader, very knowledgeable about the area. Also saw many seabirds and seals. He limits the trip to six people, so everybody gets to see the sights, hear the narration and talk with Jamie. Highly recommend!

This was a fantastic trip! I was so impressed that the Captain was so engaged despite likely having done this tours hundreds of times. He knew just where to take us to see particular critters, and was very respectful to keep a safe distance from them. Being nly a boat of 6 passengers was outstanding!

We had a fantastic tour with Captain Robertson. He provided information on the history of local islands and wildlife. Birds were plentiful, and yes we viewed lots of Puffins around Petit Manan Island. We definitely got the feeling that Capitan Robertson’s Tour was the tip of the iceberg when it comes his knowledge and experience on the area. We would highly recommend Robertson Sea Tours and Adventures. Bring a coat, even if it is warm on land ;).

The tour was wonderful! Capt. Robertson was very knowledgeable about local history of the light houses he took us to view, the Falcon nesting area, the Osprey nesting area and of course the puffins. He gave us lots of time for photos and questions. We were also lucky enough to also see seals and porpoise. It felt personal and special on the perfect size boat. Great tour and will definitely go again.

How rocky is the ride out to Petit Manon? Considering this tour but don't want my kids to get sea sick. Is there considerably more movement compared to a larger boat?

Well the Atlantic ocean is hard to predict so I can't give you a precise answer. There are days it's smooth as a lake and days it can be like a washing machine. We always follow the weather closely and if we feel the seas build enough to make things uncomfortable we will suspend trips. Hope this helps,

Hello... We are coming your way the week of Sept 4-11. This sounds like an interesting little "off the road for awhile" trip for we 3 ladies of age, ha.. Where do we make arrangements and what address would I be putting into our garmin to find you? Just taking a day from Mt. Desert Island to come as far North as we can and seeing some fishing villages along the way that are not commercialized. Does Capt. Jim go out more than once daily? Just in our planning stage today and any input you have or suggestions of rugged Maine interest would be appreciated. Thanks Mary

U would have to ask the boat owner that. I was the tourist. But this trip we took on this boat was awesome and I would do it again.
