ON THE WATER

Aquaterra Adventures: We want you to have the best possible sea kayak tour available. We have gone the extra steps to make this possible

Crystal Seas Kayaking: Visit Bar Harbor and take a sea kayak tour of the surrounding waters of Acadia National Park, a premier destination for sea kayakers.  Paddle on one of our guided three- hour, sunset or full day kayak tours along the rocky tree-lined coast of Mount Desert Island. Take a kayak trip amongst the smaller Porcupine Islands in search of its abundant wildlife.  These islands are primarily owned by the park, therefore leaving them mostly undeveloped, making this an ideal area to witness the beauty this region has to offer. Watch for seals, eagles and porpoise while enjoying vistas of Maine 's coastline and historical Bar Harbor.  We feel this is one of the finest kayak vacation destinations from Mount Desert Island due to its scenery, wildlife, history and overall kayaking experience.
