They pick you up directly at the cruise terminal. We got lucky & were the only ones so it turned into a private tour of 3 adults & 2 twelve year olds. The owner, Deanna is a retired teacher & rattled off all kinds of local history on our 30 minute ride to Dipper Harbor. Matthew the instructor was very patient with the kiddos & very helpful teaching us how to use the rudder since none of us had gone sea kayaking before. They were also kind enough to add a stop to Tim Hortons & a scenic drive & overlook of the Reversing Falls. They are a small operation so must book over the phone. Best not to email if you have any urgent questions.

Moderate Hike and got to see some of the harbor and industrial side of Canada from the high point. Boat pup - Paulie - was a great addition chasing out the deer so that we got to see two sightings an older female and a baby running through the woods. There were some great small blueberries and cranberries too. Yellow mushrooms - dont eat those! After a little less than 1.5 hr hike through a small piece of Rockwood Park we were able come back to base and kayak, canoe, paddle boat, or bike boat on Lily Lake. If you have time you can grab a quick snack at the restaurant right on the water. Beautiful place to sit outside on a sunny day and just soak up some nature. Wildlife in the area - raccoons, moose, deer, insects, porcupine, skunks, birds, Canadian geese, etc.

The water was relatively calm which made for a nice day of sea kayaking. Casey was great with providing safety instructions before and during the trip. He was a wealth of information about the wildlife, geology of the area, and the history. It was like we had the ocean to ourselves. We saw a couple of bald eagles and tons of seals primarily harbor seals but several gray seals as well. Can't recommend this company enough. Kayak on the quiet side of the island. You won't regret it. My family of four would do this trip again.

You took all the time that was needed to make us feel comfortable. You didn't rush us through anything and were so helpful when we struggled to get the padding right. Your passion for guiding was clear in every interaction. We may have had a few spills, but it was a wonderful experience. The rapids were fun and your efforts to make sure we felt prepared to take them on each and every time we encountered them was so appreciated. If you are looking for a fun canoeing adventure with some incredible, patient, and professional guides, you will find it here. I hadn't spent much time in a canoe before this and, now, I can't wait to get back in one!

Once we finally did, they took our card and drop off information for the next day. Well, they never came.

Later that evening we were contacted by a woman who was extremely apologetic and promised next day delivery.... Well that never happened and we have not heard from them since.

Kayak1 delivered to our doorstep. Because we prepaid via PayPal, we did not have to be at our rental when the kayaks showed up. We got a text saying everything was delivered. Included the kayaks, life vests, paddles, and dry bags. The equipment was great quality and even had metal rudders which we were not expecting. The six of us had no real issues in getting around and probably the biggest problem was getting them back up to dry land and they are heavy! Overall, we had a good time using the kayaks and the customer service was top of the line. We would recommend if you're in the area. $130 per tandem kayak for two days. $20 delivery charge. $410 total.

If you had the same guide that we did you will hear 30 minutes worth of the most painful self-promotion pitches, cliches, and/or time sucking stories that you could ever imagine. We didn't actually touch a kayak until 1 hour after the tour was supposed to start. So unless you are mentally challenged and/or have the patience of a saint, skip the intro if at all possible. Once we got out on the water we had a perfect day and a beautiful kayak tour. The gear is all relatively new and, if not, very well maintained. No gripes there. If you have kayaked a lot before or own your own kayaks you will be severely annoyed at the pace of the introduction and tour, but I can't entirely blame them as they are catering to the lowest common denominator as far as experience and athletic ability. And there aren't many other outfitters (if any at all) that leave right from the main dock in the harbor.

Porta potties conveniently on the way to the lake. They have push trailers to get the boats down. The lake was beyond gorgeous. The price was set right $38 for 3 hours. This is the perfect activity to experience Maine. So where this company really shined was the staff going over and beyond for our family today. I had the tragic luck of dropping the rental car keys into the lake a mile out from the launch site. I could not see the keys in the dark water. I luckily had my phone on me and the attendant was quick to help. He said they have a rescue boat and they could come and help. The owner of the company and his employee Andy came in a motor boat to save the day. Andy offered to jump into the cold water and try to find my keys. It was too dark for him to see very far in front of him with the googles but I was beyond appreciative for his efforts. My panic set in as I was now stranded in the middle of nowhere with two kids and no idea what to do. They patiently waited for me to contact the rental company to figure out next steps. They offered to pull the canoe back to the front so we could figure out our rental situation. When we got back Andy pulled our canoe in, which usually you have to bring in your own boat. Again, over and beyond. Later, the tow company let us into our vehicle to get our personal items but I still had no way back. I downloaded Uber but I could not find a ride. I asked the tow driver if he could drive us and he said he wasn't going that way. The owner of National Park Canoe offered to drive us himself about 20 mins back to our motel and saved our day again. I could not appreciate these Angels more. Not only are you receiving a great experience at National Park Canoe; you are supporting a small business that has warm, kind, generous souls that deserve your business. I cannot thank these men enough for helping in any manner they could think of. Thank you thank you. If we ever come back to Maine we will certainly be back and I recommend this company whole heartedly.
