Oyster Farm & Sea Kayak Tour in Portland's Casco Bay
See more
Experience the thrill of harvesting your own oysters right from the ocean where they were cultivated. Tasting oysters fresh from the water is a whole different level of flavor compared to eating them at a restaurant—especially when you get to shuck them yourself! This oyster farm & complimentary tasting sea kayak tour in Casco Bay offers a hands-on adventure that combines education, outdoor fun, and delicious local seafood.
Starting on land, you'll learn the basics of sea kayaking before paddling out at Mere Point in Brunswick to visit a working oyster farm in NW Casco Bay. After exploring the farm, we'll stop on a scenic island for a shucking lesson, tasting fresh oysters with a variety of sauces, and enjoying some snacks. Along the way, you'll discover how Maine's aquaculture practices support the health of our bays and marine life.
Sea kayaking is a relaxed, enjoyable way to see Casco Bay’s stunning scenery. Keep an eye out for seabirds like gulls, cormorants, ducks, herons, and eagles. If luck is on our side, we might even spot a seal gliding through the water. This tour is perfect for paddlers of all ages, with no experience needed. Use single or double kayaks on this eco-guided adventure led by a Master Maine Guide.
