See more
Experience the thrill of harvesting oysters directly from the ocean where they’re grown. Tasting oysters fresh from the sea beats anything you’d find at an oyster bar—especially when you get to shuck them yourself! This oyster farm & complimentary tasting sea kayak tour in Casco Bay offers a unique blend of adventure, education, and deliciousness.
Before hitting the water, you'll learn the basics of sea kayaking on land. Then, paddle from Mere Point in Brunswick to visit a working oyster farm in NW Casco Bay. After the farm visit, you'll stop on a scenic island for a shucking lesson, tasting fresh oysters, and enjoying some snacks. Along the way, discover how Maine’s aquaculture practices help keep the bays healthy.
Sea kayaking is an easy, enjoyable way to explore Casco Bay’s natural beauty. Keep an eye out for sea gulls, cormorants, ducks, herons, eagles, and possibly even seals. No experience is needed, and both single and double kayaks are available. This eco-guided tour is led by a Master Maine Guide, making it perfect for paddlers of all ages who want to see the bay’s scenic, historic waters.
