Muscongus Bay, scattered with small rugged islands, provides the perfect environment for our multi-day island explorations. We'll spend our days island-hopping throughout the bay, and our evenings camped out on a remote island with a panoramic view of the ocean. You'll see glimmering sunsets, hear the breathing of seals as they emerge from the waters near you, watch osprey hover and dive, learn to navigate the fog-shrouded rocky coast and see biolumenescent plankton light up the waters at night. All the kayaking gear will be provided, as well as experienced guides and delicious meals. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to observe the abundant wildlife in the bay and to advance your kayaking skills with the help of your guide. People with all levels of kayaking experience are welcome. Our guides will offer any needed instruction and ensure that safety is a top priority.
