Since 2004, Hancock Point Kayak Tours has guided all levels
of kayakers, including special needs paddlers, on unforgettable excursions
across Frenchman and Taunton Bays on the Maine coast. |
||||
|
Frenchman Bay is a fantastic body of water on which to enjoy sea kayaking, attracting paddlers from around the world. Come paddle its open waters, where eagles, loons, seals, osprey, and porpoises can often be seen, along with beautiful views of Acadia National Park and the surrounding islands. Our guided tours and camping trips are small and personalized in the “Maine Guide” tradition. We paddle across Frenchman and Taunton Bays and away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. Tours depart with flexible starting times as seats are reserved. Paddlers with less experience are welcome. Our staff has helped many people gain confidence and skill in the art of sea kayaking. We love to look for porpoises in the waves, with the sun setting over
the mountains of Acadia. They’re just feeding, but their presence casts a magical
spell over the waters. We want to share this in a low- impact way with others.
There’s not much opportunity to experience certain aspects of
life elsewhere than in a sea kayak. |

| Confident paddlers can use one of our seaworthy and comfortable single kayaks. If you are looking for more stability and the benefits of combining with another paddler to maximize your kayak’s performance, you will want to paddle one of our doubles. All of our sea kayaks have foot-pedal-controlled rudders. You will not be disappointed in our kayaks, accessories, or our Master Guide Antonio! |
