Schedules

Overnight Island Camping Trips It is best for these tours to leave in the morning and can return anytime before sunset on the given day. These tours are a minimum of two days long and a maximum of five days long. These tours are not always available. I will be most likely to have time in my schedule to give these tours in May, September, and October.
Private Tours Private tours can be scheduled to leave at any time from any location on Mount Desert Island and like all tours are a two hour minimum.



These three and a half hour tours are 40 dollars per person. 


Other tour lengths can be requested but the minimum tour price is 40 dollars per person. 


For the paddling time that is given these are the lowest priced tours in the area.


There is a 48 hour cancellation policy for these tours.

Please refer to the private tours page to see the prices for these tours. There is a 48 or 96 hour cancellation policy for these tours depending on the type of tour.Private_Tours.htmlshapeimage_6_link_0



The rate is 50 dollars per person for two or more people for any tour up to two hours long.


Groups of four or more are private tours without any additional charge.

Private groups of four or more can extend the length of the tour to three and a half hours at the rate of 65 dollars per person.

Prices



The rate for one of these tours is typically 100-200 dollars per person per day depending on the details of the tour.


The details include whether you bring your own camping equipment or use mine, the size of your group, if you pay for and cook your own food or if I do and if I do provide the meals what the cost of ingredients are.  I input all these variables into a secret algorithm developed for me by scientist at NASA and get your tour price.

Private Tours
Overnight Island Camping Trips
All tours are a two hour minimum. There is an additional charge of five dollars for people who request a one person kayak instead of the standard two person kayaks. If paying with a credit card all tours cost five dollars more per person and a 20% gratuity will be added.

I reserve the right to delay any tour by up to a half hour for any reason and you should plan any activities for after your tour accordingly.  The most common reason a tour would be delayed would be for weather conditions.

For the 2011 season several things have temporarily changed.  We will be giving less tours per day and tours which are driven to other parts of the island from Bar Harbor may have an overall time length of up to 4 hours to ensure that our guest get approximately 3 hours of actual trip time.  Check out our 2001 season page to read about these changes.
