I grew up in the Moosehead area and know it very well. I used to see moose about every 10 feet as a…read morekid. Between what I believe to be overhunting of the moose (I am not a anti-hunt person) and diseases they have suffered such as so many of the young ones dying recently of ticks, they are far and few between. I took my Granddaughter on her first trip to Maine this past July. I knew we had a very short time there and moose were very scarce. Although I knew the area well, I had not been back to Maine in sometime. I knew the best opportunity for my granddaughter to see a moose would be a person who is very experienced in finding them, as well as being out there each and every day. I certainly chose the best guide in Amber of Moosehead area guide service. Her knowledge of the Maine woods, the Moosehead area and of the moose themselves was incredible. We had been out for a while and not seen a moose. She told my granddaughter that she had to get out of the car and do the Moose dance if she wanted to see a moose. Amber looked at me and whispered, I can see she is getting a little sleepy as we started at 4:30 AM in the morning. I thought this would give her a good break. Amber did teach the most dance. It was so funny because minutes after she taught my granddaughter how to do the Moose dance we came upon a beautiful moose. My granddaughter was so excited and I was so happy we had such a knowledgeable, kind, and sweet person as Amber. If you ever get to Maine and want to see a moose, I highly recommend booking your trip with Moosehead area, guide service and Amber. Maybe she will even teach you the most dance.

If you ever want to see a moose but also learn EVERYTHING there is to know about them, you have to…read morebook a moose tour with Moosehead Area Guide Service! I thought I loved these beautiful animals but Harold, the tour guide, surpasses my passion! He goes beyond anyone I know to explain in a detail and in a respectful way how moose live in nature to include their habitat, diet, temperament, physical features, mating season, difference between male and female moose, behavior etc. I could go on and on but you HAVE to experience this yourself! I just took my 12 yo grdson on a tour the end of July. He said it was better than Christmas! This was my 2nd time with Harold where I had taken another grdson. Both experiences unexplainable and wonderful! A memory they'll treasure forever! Call today and book a tour! You'll be so happy you did to see and learn about these amazing, magnificent animals!

I see someone gave a negative review back in 2012 and in fact, mike had one guy working for him back then who unfortunately wasn't very good, but he was let go and hasn't been there for years. Graves Marine is a great place to take your watercraft in spring, summer or fall and snowmobile in the winter. We highly recommend them.

I have shopped at the Dick's in Bangor for years. Relied on it for quality clothing and service…read more However, Dick's in Bangor has changed dramatically ever since Covid and I feel sad about it. The store is a mess, sort of; looks more like a warehouse now and less like a place to shop. Staff is minimal...I mean scanty... and those that work there have no desire to really help you. They are, however, interested in socializing with each other. I don't blame them actually. Poop rolls down hill, right? So, if administration has no mission to provide great quality and customer service, no pride in what they are doing, why would the minimal staff that work there? It doesn't make me happy, what I'm writing, but I need to be honest. I try to find what I need anywhere but at Dick's Sporting Goods right now. What a disappointment.

I climbed Khatadin with Moose Wood Guide Service…read more Paul is so organized and provided great prep and directions for me to get ready with being in shape and with things I needed to bring. Plus he set up the coolest camp for my tired feet afterward. Erin was such an inspirational guide on the trail. She knows all the changes in the terrain and has an excellent, flexible pace. She also provides a spiritual appreciation for the mountain that inspires and enlightens as you trek. I recommend these two with all my heart.

I took a 3 day/2 night canoe trip around the Debsconeags Lakes area in August. Paul is extremely knowledgeable to the region and seems to know all of the great camping and fishing spots in the area. Some of the highlights included paddling down some swift waters for an adrenaline boost, enjoying campfires and stars on the beach, indulging in some pretty terrific dinners and stopping by a lakeside lumberman museum! Not only did I really enjoy my time, but I learned a lot too. Pau was to answer any question I had regarding environmental concerns, state regulations, animal habits. He seems to know the history of everything. Great guide service for Northern Maine. You won't regret it.

He was very well trained, accommodating, highly thorough and informative with all things Maine and sea related, and we explored 12 lighthouses and beautiful remote islands from a breathtaking perspective above.

My friend and I tried the evening moose tour in which you are driven to a beautiful 'pond' as they…read morecall it and get into 3 person canoes (two paddling, one in the middle) hoping to see moose. Their venue is closer to Bangor than some of the other outfitters that do this, however, the ride to get to the pond is at least an hour. You ride in a van and some of the roads are bumpy. The guide narrates a little, but I feel he could have done more. The home base is nice and they sell souvenirs, coffee, and snacks. They have a bathroom building with changing areas. There was lots of water on the ground there, so I wonder why it wasn't moped. Once you get into the van, there is no bathroom area (unless there is a porta potty that I missed. The scenery by the water was very beautiful and peaceful and even though no moose were spotted, it was still a very nice experience. The price was fair and there was always someone that answered the phone when we called to ask questions. Overall a great experience.

The two exceptions were when the van stopped and we all got out. The only good seat was in the front passenger spot. At one point two Jeeps were behind our tour van for a long time, the guide made a comment about how they were being impatient, needed to respect the tour bus, and didn't let them pass us by pulling over. She kept them behind us for quite about 1/2 hour. When we finally spotted a moose 2.5 hours in and she pulled over, the two vehicles revved their engines and sped past, scaring the one moose we saw the entire time back into the woods. So we saw a moose running into the woods. The people at the back of the van saw it's butt... As we headed back to the tour lodge, another moose crossed the road in front of us, it took about 4 strides across the street... so, did we see moose? Technically, yes... was it what we signed up for and paid $74, and a four hour ride for? No! So their 89% moose spotting rate includes this... if you're thinking you want to see moose in water, munching away and you have an almost 90% chance that's not really an accurate take on this. Also, our tour guide Natalie was very nice, however she did not know much more than the average Joe- me... she wasn't particularly engaging and didn't have information that didn't pop up on any Google search, as a matter of fact, she didn't necessarily know info that did pop up on a google search... she did give us tasty brownies and water. I was able to capture scenery photos, no moose photos though
