Expedition to Deer Isle Archipelago, ME

ABOUT DEER ISLE ARCHIPELAGO

The Deer Isle Archipelago occupies the eastern side of the Penobscot Bay. Considered by many to be the heart of the Maine Coast, several of Maine’s biggest industries, including fishing, ship building, and quarrying, have a long history in this region. In addition to it’s rich economic history the Penobscot Bay is home to some of the most breathtaking landscape on the east coast. The island group directly off of Deer Isle is one of the densest in the world, and is bordered on its southern end by Isle Au Haut. Isle Au Haut is one of the few year round island communities left on the Maine coast, and is also home to a portion of Acadia National Park. This region contains a superb mixture of sea kayaking opportunities. From adventurous paddling in the open waters around the far flung islands to quiet exploration of the channels and coves amongst the dense inner islands. This area provides the explorer with scenic landscapes and a variety of wildlife.

Explore Maine’s unforgettable coastline by day and camp on its wild and remote islands by night. Our goal with this trip is to provide a challenging yet safe, educational, relaxing and fun experience.
