Stand Up Paddleboard Tour with Complimentary Oyster Tasting
Overview
Learn the basics of stand-up paddle boarding on land before launching at Mere Point in Brunswick for a leisurely 2.5 hour morning tour of Northwest Casco Bay! We will paddle out to a demonstration oyster farm and then to an island to shuck and enjoy a complimentary tasting of the sweet and briny fresh Maine oysters.
Stand-up paddle boarding is a great, fun way to sight see from the water. We are likely to see cormorants, sea gulls, osprey, great blue herons, snowy egrets, ducks, and we might see fish jumping or a seal.
Paddlers at least 12 years old will love exploring Casco Bay in this protected, scenic, historic area! There will be a break on land where we will stretch, taste the oysters and have some snacks that you bring.

Alice was great, very knowledgeable, and had all the right equipment ready to go. She also took photos and didn’t charge for them which really makes for a more memorable excursion!

My wife and I had our first-ever stand-up paddleboard outing with Alice on a cool, calm and quite Sunday morning in July. After Alice greeted us and gave us a lesson on how to paddle and be safe on the board, we scooted out into glass-smooth Casco Bay. As we calmly and confidently paddled around beautiful Merepoint, Alice told us all about the local area, its history and lore, and the natural formations that make the area so pretty. We enjoyed a mid-outing snack break on a rocky shore, and then paddled back to the dock. Such an enjoyable outing led by a warm and knowledgeable guide!
