Maine Family Adventures!
Our name says it all—action trips designed for the whole family: parents, single parents, grandparents, friends, kids, and teens—offering the simple pleasures of a Maine summer— active days spent exploring, walking, swimming, kayaking and biking—all at an easygoing pace and in small groups of 12-16 people.
Maine is a great place to combine first time family adventures with relaxing summertime activities—pushing off on a guided sea kayaking tour along the Maine shore, watching for baby seal pups, hopping on a bike for a ferry ride out to a nearby island to explore fishing villages, and seeing a whale for the very first time.
For the summer of 2007, we offer a choice of two amazing family trips: In selecting these two destinations, we have chosen places that show the beauty (and the best) of Maine, places we enjoy visiting time and time again.
We spent our childhoods in Maine—searching for sea glass in hidden coves at the water's edge, picking wild blueberries, and swimming in clear, cool lakes. Now we want to welcome you to this place we love, so you can share the true Maine experience.
With Maine Family Adventures, you'll stay at some of Maine's most charming inns. Our guests begin each morning with hearty, homemade breakfasts, and end the day in cozy bedrooms. Leave the details to us. We'll provide personalized service with plenty of flexibility for an unforgettable and exciting adventure filled with quality time for you and your family. Truly, a family vacation you'll never forget.
Our goal is simple—to create family memories that will last a lifetime. We hope you will join us for a wonderful family vacation in Maine.
Welcome to Maine Family Adventures!
Sincerely,

Stay at Maine's Finest Inns
Maine Family Adventures selects charming Inns and Hotels, each known for their hospitality, excellent service, and attention to detail. Passing our highest set of standards, each of our inns welcomes families with style and warmth to make your stay special. We move in and stay a few nights—with no daily in-and-out, pack-and-unpack routine. After an active day, our gracious accommodations provide the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and savor the Maine experience.
Taste the Flavors of Maine
Maine is famous for its fresh local cuisine—from lobsters caught that day to everything blueberry: muffins, pancakes, and homemade sauces for your morning waffles.
We have selected outstanding dining locations to satisfy everyone's taste, from the young "picky-eater" to the elegant gourmet. Your experience might include a night of fine dining at a charming, award-winning inn or a succulent lobster feast at a dockside restaurant by the water's edge. Maine Family Adventures always remembers the kids and their food needs. One night adults might dine leisurely, while the kids barbeque at a nearby lighthouse. Whatever the place, you order directly from the menu for your own taste.
Hearty and bountiful meals on a Maine Family Adventures trip are an important part of the vacation experience. Each trip includes breakfasts, picnic lunches, snacks and all dinners but one, when you and your family can explore the area and sample the local cuisine on your own.
Excellent Trip Leaders
Trip Leaders for Maine Family Adventures are carefully selected. Active, knowledgeable, capable, personable, and trustworthy, they are well trained to provide a safe experience for your family. Our Trip Leaders know the ins and outs of the area—the best places to swim, walk, bike or shop for that Maine souvenir; they also know the secret spots and the little getaways that most visitors to Maine never see. They know how to have fun with kids, whether tossing a Frisbee or exploring a tidal pool for sea creatures.
Whether answering your questions, telling another story, filling your water bottles, or transporting your luggage, our Trip Leaders are there to take care of all your needs and to make sure your experience with Maine Family Adventures is exciting, smooth, comfortable, and, most of all, a memorable adventure for your family in Maine.
Safety Is Our Top Priority
Every Maine Family Adventures trip has been carefully planned with your family's safety in mind. For biking, we select quiet roads with few or no cars; during our day of kayaking we stay in protected bays; our hikes offer spectacular views and manageable well groomed trails. Our Trip Leaders receive extensive training, and all have First Aid and CPR certification. We begin each activity with a safety talk and demonstration, and our first-rate equipment is constantly being checked and rechecked.
Be assured that our greatest priority is to make sure your family vacation is safe and enjoyable.
