The hour just before sunset is one of the best times to paddle Casco Bay; the sky tends to explode with color and the seas often become glassy and calm. On this trip you'll enjoy a leisurely paddle along the edge of Portland Harbor and the inner islands of Casco Bay. Along the way you'll enjoy views of local landmarks such as lighthouses and historic forts. And you'll spot wildlife such as seals, osprey, eider ducks and other maritime creatures. As you paddle back towards the East End Beach you'll take in a panoramic view of the sun setting over the city.

This two-hour tour is designed for paddlers of all experience levels — including first-time kayakers. You'll be given all the paddling gear you need, including a dry bag in case you want to bring along a phone or any other small belongings.
