About Us
Coastal Kayaking Tours is Bar Harbor’s premier kayaking company.
What makes us stand out?
Coastal Kayaking Tours has been operating guided sea kayak tours in Bar Harbor, Maine since 1982, longer than any other outfitter on the East Coast. From modest beginnings, we've grown to become New England's premier outfitter, running a wider and more enjoyable variety of trips than anyone else. We've done it all while adhering to our philosophy that to provide the best Maine sea kayaking possible, personalized service is the key.
Our Commitment
The cornerstone of our sea kayaking trips lies in one word: FUN!! When you go sea kayaking in Maine with Coastal, whether it's for 2.5 hours or 4 hours, you'll immediately sense that the primary mission of your Registered Maine Guide is to provide a fun, safe, and exciting experience that you'll remember for years. Our guides have fun; so will you!
Maine Registered Guides
Each of our guides has gone through an extensive training program and passed their guide exams in order to become a sea kayak guide. We're the only outfitter on Mount Desert Island which runs its own guide training program, and it pays off for us with the best staff imaginable!
