The hours just before sunset offer the best time for paddling on the waters of Casco Bay. The sky tends to explode with color and the seas often become glassy and calm. This trip involves a leisurely paddle just far enough along the waterfront or into the islands to enjoy a panoramic view of the sun setting over the city as we paddle back to the East End Beach. This two-hour tour is designed for paddlers of all experience levels -- including first-time kayakers.

The exact route you take will depend on the weather conditions and the group's interests and experience, but the Sunset Tour often starts out venturing into the waterfront of Portland harbor, and then into the open waters towards the islands of Casco Bay.

We will cancel this tour if there is steady rain, strong winds or other conditions that we believe will prevent guests from having a great paddling experience. However, we will run our tours when there are light showers, overcast skies or cooler than average temperatures.

Loved every second of the sea kyack trip. Joe was a delight and personable. The sunset, calm water, light breeze, history lesson and small group size was a great way to enjoy the 2 hr excursion in Portland on the Casco Bay.
This is a must-do activity in Maine!

This activity was hands down the best experience I had during my spontaneous trip to Maine! Joe was incredibly patient with me, especially since it was my very first time kayaking. He made me feel comfortable and confident the entire time, and he was also very knowledgeable, sharing so many interesting facts about Maine’s bodies of water and surrounding history along the way. Calvin was such a cool guy too! He was very interactive and made the whole experience even more enjoyable and memorable. Both of them created such a welcoming and fun atmosphere that it honestly felt like an adventure with friends rather than just a tour. Everything about this experience was amazing... fun, active, educational, and unforgettable. They both did an excellent job, and I would absolutely love to do it all over again. 1000/10 recommended!
Seals and sunsets!

We loved this tour! Joe was super friendly and the kayaks are well taken care of. Also the staff was really kind and they were very accommodating and kept our bags safe behind the desk. Great paddle, would love to come back and do the city line paddle. We did the seal paddle and saw a few.
Worth it!

Sunset kayaking in Portland, Maine was the best excursion to start my trip with. Joe, the instructor was amazing and most knowledgeable. Before taking off into the water, Joe provided a brief instruction to help us navigate. This is perfect for never been on a kayak, and even for those that are a little bit more skilled. Joe took us around to try and catch a glimpse of the seals, the Osprey nest, and of course the sunset. Two individuals that were in our group decided that they did not want to complete the tour and Joe was able to gather us all together and wait for them so no one got lost. It was the perfect experience and the perfect sunset on a perfect day. Highly recommend!

do not book with viator - they did not send our reservation to portland paddle and we weren't able to go due to them being at capacity. portland paddle handled this with grace and accommodated us to get in as soon as possible but i would book directly through them and not viator.
Great experience.

Up front lesson by Joe was informational. Joe and the ground crew were all very helpful and efficient. The young woman that helped out was excited to hear the story about the young seal swimming around the kayaks and even bumping one of them several times so that it could have been petted! The group was fun and interesting! The addition of the rudders on the kayaks was helpful for the tandems. Beautiful weather! It was a pleasant experience just being out in the cove. Joes additional comments about the wildlife and fort were interesting!

Tom was a great guide and was able to quickly teach us less experienced kayakers. The weather was great which made for a perfect sunset.
Beautiful Tour!

Great tour with Sam! Got to go out on the Casco bay and saw some seals and an ospreys nest with osprey in it. Also got to see a porpoise! Sam was a great guide and the weather was perfect. Definitely a highlight for us!
