Quick Details
Come explore the waters off of beautiful Crescent Beach in Maine!
This tour departs from our base at gorgeous Crescent Beach State Park, which is a 15-minute drive from our main site in Portland. A reservation for this trip comes with free entry to the state park.
The waters off Crescent Beach offer the perfect environment for sea kayaking. On this 4-hour tour we typically paddle along the coast towards Two Lights State Park and then cross open waters to reach the shores of Richmond Island. We’ll paddle along the shores of the island and then back to Crescent Beach taking a different route, looking out for seals, working lobstermen, seabirds and diving osprey. This is a trip suitable for all skill levels. Your guide will begin your trip with a brief sea kayaking lesson and provide you with a kayak well-suited to your experience level and body type. When launching at Crescent Beach we sometimes need to paddle through small waves, so you should plan to get wet.
