Inn-to-Inn Tours:

We are happy to design, coordinate, and or guide inn-to-inn tours for which there are several options.

Full service: Water Walker provides equipment, guide services, and transportation (if needed) for going inn-to-inn.

Partial service: Water Walker provides equipment, route suggestions, and land support -- i.e. transportation of non-paddling gear between inns, pickup and transport of paddling gear at the end of the day, etc. (Appropriate for more experienced paddlers who don't need a guide to accompany them).

Do it yourself: Water Walker provides equipment and route suggestions only. In either case, we’re happy to make suggestions about particular inns, while our guests make the actual reservations with the inns.

For a guided inn-to-inn tour, our rates are the same as for day trips -- $160.00 a day for two, or $240.00 a day for four. For a non-guided tour, rates are variable, depending on the location of the trip and the amount of driving involved. Rental of our sea kayaks is $35.00 - $50.00 per day and includes all paddling gear. Either way, our guide support provides paddlers opportunity to do a one-way trip (rather than turning around midway through) and thus to see more of Maine's great coastline and to take advantage of prevailing winds.

Following are a few suggestions for 1 -2 night inn-to-inn tours. All involve legs of less than 10 miles between inns, but most provide opportunities for interesting side trips for more ambitious paddlers :
  • Muscongus Bay: Friendship to Port Clyde to Tenants Harbor.
  • Muscle Ridge Channel: Tenants Harbor to Clark Island to Thomaston.
  • Upper Penobscot Bay: Belfast to Searsport to Castine.
  • Western Penobscot Bay: Rockland to Rockport and Camden.
  • Eastern Penobscot Bay: Castine to Bucks Harbor to Little Deer Isle.
