Great experience
Incredible historical knowledge by your guide
Bit too long and be weather conscious

Make sure you bring a sweatshirt sweater or something. It does get cold out there. The water was a little choppy for a small period of time, but it was amazing.
The sunset was so beautiful and we even saw seals
Kelly_M, Jun 2026
We had a great time on this cruise. The weather cooperated with us and it was absolutely perfect. The staff were very friendly, the one who was speaking was very knowledgeable of everything he talked about. I would absolutely do this tour again.

Great tour of the bay that included several lighthouses and islands. The Captain was a good driver and we felt comfortable and safe the entire ride. We enjoyed the tour guide’s knowledge and humor. This activity was worth the money!

Our guide and our captain were just tremendous! We did not expect such a wonderful, history-biology-geography-cultural immersion along the way, but it was such a highlight of a fabulous trip to Maine and Quebec. We planned it for our last night so that we could end it (SAD!) on a special note, and it did not disappoint. Our hoodies and long pants were perfect, temperature/weather-wise. Our guide was personable, knowledgeable, humorous, serious--all of the things that make a tour fantastic, and I love the route design which allowed us to see far more than we could have experienced, even having our rental car. I see why these tours are so popular; do not hesitate to book it! Kudos and God's greatest blessings to your wonderful team! P.S. Kudos to our Heavenly Father for the unforgettable sunset...Psalm 19:1!

We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise! The weather cooperated to give fantastic conditions to include a stunning sunset. The crew was super from captain to tour guide. We will cherish the photos from the cruise! I rate this adventure 5 out of 5, highly recommend to others, and would do it again!

People were nice and they made it funny. Only concern was it's hard to hear the narrator over the engine. If they can turn that up, it'd be perfect.
Zach_S, May 2026

amazing trip and guide! I’m a solo traveler and it felt super safe and easy to get to! Entertaining and saw some beautiful views.
Rachel_S, May 2026
Beautiful views! Make sure to dress warmer than the temperature states because the combination of wind and cold water makes for a chilly ride. The host was super informative and kind. In his words “the sunset cruise is my favorite”. 10/10 recommend

It was a great experience. Seeing the lighthouses from the bay was a great experience. Prepare yourself for the cold.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed seeing the lighthouses from the bay — it really is such a unique perspective of the Maine coastline. And yes, even on warmer days it can definitely feel chilly out on the water, so that’s great advice for future guests! Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you back onboard again someday.
