Look no further - you're missing out if you don't hire Darcy and her team at Country Coach Charter…read more Darcy was the highlight of our 4 day road trip. She quickly took charge of our group and kept us on schedule, often improving our schedule, while making very solid recommendations on where to go (and not go). She's an excellent driver with a sweet ride (fancy Mercedes Sprinter) and an even sweeter personality. Her amazing sense of humor made our road trip so much more enjoyable, and I may have to go back to Maine soon because I miss Captain D already. There's no way you can find somebody more competent, reliable and fun. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

We used a bus and 2 14 passengers vans which were clean, safe, comfortable and very nice. They're a busy bunch, so communication was sometimes a little spotty when planning, but there wasn't any question about commitment. Darcy met up with us the day before to drive the routes and even ended up finding us time efficiency in our schedule. They're fairly priced (although transportation is not cheap!) and well worth it!

It is an experience that you will remember for a lifetime. Captains Justin and Jocelyn and their crew will take excellent care of you and make sure that you have a wonderful adventure. The ship is going to be 100 years old next year but you wouldn't know it from it's superb upkeep. The staterooms and galley are cozy. You'll be spending most of your time taking in the incredible views of Penobscot Bay. We've gone out twice and can't wait until next year. By all means go if you can.

Riggin out of Rockland, Maine is firmly in the second category. Extraordinary leadership, a crew that genuinely cares, and a ship that rewards the curious and the bold are all reasons to join one of their trips. The quarters are tight, but you don't feel confined and there is no scarcity. No rationing, no anxiety about whether there will be enough. The table is always full: Hot tea and coffee are always available as is cold drinking water. You will not go hungry. You will, in fact, go home having eaten some of the best meals of your life produced in a tiny galley on a nearly century-old wooden ship, which makes it all the more extraordinary. Do it.

From the minute we arrive, all our urban stress seems to magically fall away. There's so much fresh air, sunshine and healthy vibes here, I always leave rejuvenated and revived. The sun rises early - 4:45AM! - so be sure to bring a sleep mask. The sun sets late and it's absolutely magnificent to watch over the glittering water. The beds are super comfy (this is a must for me!) and I swear the combination of the cool Maine breeze and the valerian that grows outside lulls me into a much needed deep sleep. The hosts, Dick and Carol, are warm and welcoming but you also have plenty of privacy. They know who to call for the freshest and best lobster you've ever tasted - plus they have numerous recommendations on local haunts, hikes and activities for adults and kids alike. We love it here and plan to return every year for the foreseeable future. Highly recommend this very special vacation spot!

The beautiful islands he took us to, his lively, humourous local and historical commentary along the way, his willingness to fine tune the experience based upon our own specific interest made our trip absolutely fantastic.

He is a lovely, fun, lively person who made the beauty around us feel all the more special. SueAnne Piliero

The owner of this small travel company goes on every trip. She's been doing this work for 25 years and seems to know everyone; the local guides, the restaurant owners, the drivers, and excursion operators. It is evident that she cares deeply about everyone having a positive experience. And she takes care of all the details. Even though we stayed busy with visiting ancient ruins, museums, shopping, dining, and touring small hill towns, I found the experience to be relaxing because I knew all the details were taken care of.

My first interaction with Peter was actually by telephone, accusing him of fake TripAdvisor…read morereviews... turns out, they are NOT FAKE and he is an amazing guy. My wife and I decided to go with him because he was a lot more flexible than his competitors, Old Quarry. First of all, Peter basically catered the tour to our needs. Second of all, his prices were worth the small group attention. Third, Old Quarry has a terrible website and Peter's is great. We have both kayaked before, so we wanted something half-day that would provide a short intro and then get us into some small coves. What we got was wonderful. First, Peter went over sea kayaking safety and the game plan (To be honest, this part needs to be shortened up, but I think that will happen organically as the season progresses). Then, we took the boats down and put into the water at Naskeag Point. We kayaked around and went to Sellers Island for lunch. Peter told us all about the islands and about this cool kayak trail they have where you can camp for free on these small islands. We wandered some more after lunch and started heading back. We asked Peter about his experiences on El Camino - he has some amazing stories! When we got back to his house, he let us shower and stuff before heading to our B&B up the road for dinner. You can book rooms at the house and we would have done this if we'd known about it before we booked our other accommodations. It was really a lovely trip, and we hope to pass through again someday.

He did a wonderful job tailoring our experience so that it was the right level for our kids, but was still an exciting adventure for all of us. Penobscot Bay is probably one of the nicest, most beautiful places to sea kayak I can imagine. I am not an expert, but his equipment was top notch, which made the paddling easy and our experience more comfortable. I had been worried that our younger son would lose steam, and he was usually out ahead! I can't recommend Peter enough and we hope we are lucky enough to do another trip with him at some point.
