FAQ

What makes us the best?

Simply put, we are the best at what we do… We sell FUN!!!

In terms of outdoor adventure tours in Maine, no one comes close to offering the uniqueness and quality you get from us. Winter, spring, summer or fall, you can find a fun filled quality trip. Over 40 years of outdoors experience will prove invaluable. We are customer service folks who have practiced our craft and have been mentored by the older genuine generation of Master Maine Guides. You deserve a one on one experience, not a number on a tour bus or party boat. We have hand picked our partners that share the same mind set of customer service and quality.

Why shouldn’t I do this on my own?

You could, but your time off is precious… Keep in mind that you’ll need to own or rent all the equipment needed, take a chance you are hunting, fishing or driving in the right area. Once you’ve finished, you’ll realize that it would have been cheaper and much easier to book with us. We know Maine’s woods, fields, lakes, rivers, and streams. We will not only take you there but we will educate, entertain, and prove worthy of your time with us.
