Portland, Maine: Casco Bay Full-Day Kayaking Tour Portland: Casco Bay Full-Day Kayaking Tour

Encounter the history and beauty of Casco Bay on this unique guided kayak tour. Discover Portland's most beloved lighthouses, and immerse yourself in Maine's beautiful natural environment.
This kayaking adventure with Portland Paddle is a chance to sea kayak into the islands of Casco Bay and view some of the most historically fascinating and scenic landmarks in the Portland region. Unlike our other tours, we limit this trip to 6 or fewer people and we require participants to have at least one previous sea kayaking experience. Every trip is different, and the specific route will be customized for the weather conditions and the group. On most trips we visit one of the 19th century island forts in the harbor, and we paddle past lighthouses, stunning rocky coastlines and ledges where seals and seabirds gather. Join us and feel the swell of the open ocean underneath your kayak!

Among the landmarks we may visit on this trip are several of Casco Bay’s lighthouses and forts, including Spring Point Light, Fort Preble, Portland Head Light, Fort Scammel, Ram Island Light, Bug Light and Fort Gorges. You'll also have the chance to hone your paddling skills, learn about the natural history of the area, visit islands on the Maine Island Trail and spot wildlife like seals, osprey and eiders. You'll see many sides of Casco Bay, including the bustling working waterfront of Portland harbor, the cliff-lined outer islands exposed to the open ocean and the more protected coves lined with beaches.

This trip is designed for paddlers of a range of skill levels and the group will take many breaks and stops along the way. However, the trip does involve a very full and active day, so we suggest our shorter trips for first-time kayakers or anyone who has difficulty with prolonged physical activity. All participants should have tried sea kayaking at least once before. This trip sometimes starts in a different location than our main site (due to a one-way route), so you may be transported by van to the launching site at the start of the trip. The cost of this trip includes a delicious picnic lunch, with a vegetarian option.
