    Beautiful Belfast sunset!

    Captain Aaron and Guide Pam were wonderful hosts to our sunset cruise! We saw seals, learned some local history and ate some delicious lobster! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

    We have two small kiddos (2.5 and 4.5 years old) a baby, and my 74-year old mother-in-law, and we booked the treasure hunt experience on a whim so our kids wouldn't get restless. I'm so glad we did!! Captain Jack was amazing- fully dressed in a gorgeous and convincing pirate outfit, he had loads of riddles and jokes that had all of us rolling with laughter! He gave my kiddos jobs to do, which made them feel very much an important part of the process and gave them ownership of the journey. Finding the treasure was a fun adventure, and we even got to see a live crab and a seal in the water! We had a BLAST and will be recommending this adventure to all our friends!

    Lobster Rolls!

    Had a beautiful evening with my boyfriend on The Back and Forth! Captain Tap was an excellent captain and has years of experience. His side kick Pat was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Greta who I believe is going to be a guide soon on the boat had some great recommendations for local lakes and hikes. The weather was beautiful, the bay was beautiful and the lobster rolls were amazing! Definitely recommend taking the sunset cruise!

    Getting ready to hook the treasure!

    Ask the Community - The Back & Forth

    Can I take the Back and Forth at Belfast- to young's lobster pound - get off for dinner - then get back on for trip back to Belfast?

    Yes you can, you can private hire the boat in 1.5 hour slots. Visit the website www.thebackandforth.com to find answers and book tickets instantly. :-)

    Are they dog friendly?

    Hi Fredrick! Yes you can bring dogs on board & we do not charge for your furry friends! We do ask that they are well behaved due to the nature of our service. For your own safety and the safety of others the captain reserves the right to deny a ride…

    The Harbor They Fall…read more 1.6-mile out-and-back trail that outline the City of Belfast's picturesque harbor. The Good: *Very easy flat trail that's good for everyone, even kids. *Dog-friendly *Free! *Restrooms (see trail map for locations) *Adjacent to lots of food and shopping, if that's your jam. *You can connect to the Belfast Rail Trail to make it an even longer walk. *Picturesque views of the harbor, bay, and a working shipyard The Meh: *The trail is almost too easy and flat. You'll get your steps but not your cardio. The Ugly: *Parking can be a bit difficult during certain days and seasons, but not impossible. Conclusion: Fantastic trail with great views and a must-see if you're visiting Belfast, Maine.

    You can find the Belfast Harbor Walk at Front St, Belfast, ME 04915 - it basically extends from the…read moreBelfast Armistice Bridge along the shoreline to Heritage Park in the East. There's a small lot where you can park right at the Bridge, which allows for foot traffic across the Passagassawakeag River. If you park at that end, there's a portapotty conveniently located by the lot. We parked, crossed the river to get in sights of the river, then moved to the West across the Belfast Rail Trail - you're rewarded at the end with a small station, caboose and a car or two before turning around. Returning and going the other direction takes you into Belfast where you can experience a small New England town that's been there pretty much longer than the US has been around - the area is hilly which makes for some neat adjustments to the architecture - along Belfast Harbor are massive boat lifts and boats/ships of all sizes that are being worked on by the local marine establishments - this is an active harbor with lots to see, a local brewery or two and stuff you wouldn't normally experience as landlubbers. The whole like totaled up to around 6 miles with the Rail Trail, bridge, visit to the town plus a lookaround. Neat place.

    I feel the need to preface all of my nature reviews with this: being 90% forested and having around…read more3500 miles of coastline, Maine has a tremendous amount of spaces, walkways, paths, and trails of all kinds and of all levels. There's something for everyone. What I'm reviewing is how a spot compares to similar outdoor spots in my personal opinion. Being in nature - and remembering to carry in, carry out - is always five stars! :) Parking? Yes. Loop trail? Kind of. Well marked signs? Not really. Element of surprise? No. For Cumberland County folks, Moose Point feels like a combination of Fort Williams Park and Mackworth Island. It's got grassy knolls to picnic on with views of Penobscot Bay, evergreen groves to meander through via wide and well maintained trails (some of which have benches, some of which have little staircases leading down to the pebbled water's edge), a gazebo for events, and during low tide there are tidal pools to explore (during high tide it's much more difficult to navigate because it's mostly just uneven rocks and not much of a shore). I think this is a beautiful spot in midcoast Maine, and I'm glad there are locations like it throughout the state. Personally, I don't necessarily feel the need to come back (except to get my Maine State Parks Passport Stamp!!!), just because we have something soooooooooooo similar so close. But I can see how it's a draw for so many!
