SUMMARY:Penobscot to Acadia Expedition
DESCRIPTION:A Four-Day Adventure in the Island Wonderland South of Acadi
 a National Park!\n\nThe seemingly endless clusters of islands between Pe
 nobscot Bay and Mount Desert Island offer all the elements of an idyllic
  environment for sea kayak camping: Abundant oceanside campsites\, count
 less pocket beaches\, infinite route options for exploration\, and plent
 y of opportunities to find shelter from winds and waves. Each island has
  its own character\, history and beauty\, and many of them have campsite
 s as part of the Maine Island Trail.\n\nHome to quarries that provided g
 ranite for Boston\, New York\, and D.C.s most iconic buildings\, this co
 astline is also home to some of Maine’s prettiest coastline\, where ro
 cky shores and towering evergreens meet. While Acadia National Park draw
 s millions of visitors to experience this environment\, this trip provid
 es paddlers with a chance to get away from the crowded hiking trails and
  explore it by water.\n\nWhere You’ll Paddle\nYou’ll start this trip
  on the pink-granite-lined shores of Penobscot Bay\, with views of the m
 ountains of Acadia on the distant horizon. Over the following days youâ€
 ™ll island-hop towards those mountains\, eventually reaching the shores 
 of Mount Desert Island\, or one of the adjacent peninsulas\, where our v
 an will be waiting to shuttle the group back to Portland. Along the way\
 , you’ll visit dozens of islands\, some so tiny they are almost submer
 ged at high tide\, and others large enough to have extensive networks of
  hiking trails and small villages.\n\nAs you paddle from Penobscot Bay t
 owards Acadia you’ll encounter abundant wildlife like seals and seabir
 ds\, along with the activities of Maine’s working lobstermen and other
  mariners. You’ll also witness fascinating remnants of the past\, like
  abandoned quarries that now serve as swimming holes\, and centuries-old
  lighthouses.\n\nThe itinerary will depend on the conditions and the gro
 up. You can expect to paddle for several hours each day\, with many brea
 ks along the way. There will also be plenty of time for exploring and re
 laxing on the islands. Your guide will choose a route that takes maximum
  advantage of the wind direction and tidal currents\, while ensuring tha
 t the group moves at a pace that is comfortable for all participants.
