Maine Multisport

Biking, walking & kayaking in Penbobscot Bay & Acadia NP

Penobscot Bay and Acadia National Park Tour“Why go West,” asked legendary writer Henry David Thoreau, “when Maine has everything?” The Pine Tree State is indeed blessed with an abundance of natural splendors—rocky coastline, lakes, mountains, rivers, islands, forests and beaches. Breathe crisp clean air and delight in weathered fishing villages where life still rings with old New England charm. Bike to hidden coves and along quiet country lanes and kayak past classic yachts and historic estates. And top off your day with succulent lobster. Come experience the same enchanting world that charmed Thoreau so long ago.
