Go Pro video of seals swimming. The best view is had by enlarging or zooming in. Then look partway in the distance off the left side. Two different surfacings are recorded.

Enjoy the perfect Maine vacation in a charming cottage in Hancock, Maine. Our vacation rental cottages are on the coast near Bar Harbor and

Great accommodations here

My wife was nervous about going so Antonio put the two of us in a tandem Kayak because they are more stable. We were given all the gear necessary including bibs to keep water out of the kayak. His lovely wife joined us for the trip. We started our trip after getting some instruction on how to paddle and steer. We moved along The beautiful coast and enjoyed the information provided by Antonio and his wife. We paddled out To a small island and saw some seals Playing in the water. It was awesome. I enjoyed looking at some of the rock structures underwater. The water is so clear. We paddle to another island and beach the boat to have a small snack we brought and my wife collected shells and found some Seaglass. We then paddle back to end our trip. We had a great time And felt very safe during our trip. The one recommendation that I would make is to take a pair of water shoes. while it is possible to get out of the kayak without putting your feet in the water, it is better to be safe than sorry.

My son wanted to go kayaking for his 15 birthday. We did not want to deal with the crowds and impersonal guides at the touristy set ups. We found Antonio through a referral from our B&B. We could not have been happier! We surprised him with our last minute request but he accommodated us masterfully. After a full safety review and help for our kids with kayak adjustments we were off. Frenchman's bay is so beautiful and Antonio was willing to share his knowledge of the area, pointing out landmarks and wildlife. Out on the water was such a wonderful way to enjoy the beauty and peacefulness of this amazing place. It is unimaginable to think that officials are considering a cruise boat pier in Frenchman's bay. I really hope people get informed and realize how this will forever change the area. Frenchman's bay is perfect as is and should be enjoyed for its natural beauty in simple, personal way

Very thorough safety briefing and fun trip!

Ant was great! My boyfriend, my college friend, and I took a 3-hr sea kayak tour with him last week. There were two other people who also booked that day, so it was nice to have a small group and get personalized attention. First off, Ant gave a very thorough safety review before we left shore and made sure every person on the trip was comfortable paddling near the shoreline in the harbor before we headed to Bean Island in Frenchman Bay. Ant was very patient and supportive of each kayaker and made sure to give tips to help us improve our technique. We all had a great time and wished we were staying longer so we could take a tour of another area! Ant, thank you so much for your prompt and professional communication before, during, and after our trip. We can't wait to come back and do this again next time we're in the area

We hired Antonio to take us out on a guided tour of the Hancock point. There were three of us, one experienced and two with limited experience. Antonio went through exhaustive safety training as well as basic skill training before taking us out on Frenchmen's Bay. It was very windy and a bit choppy but I felt safe and assured under Antonios' care. It was a great opportunity to see all the lovely houses around the coves and experience Hancock from a different point of view. He provides all the equipment and training. He is also very knowledgeable of the Hancock area so as a guide he was fantastic.

Beautiful Morning Spent Kayaking

My husband and I spent a delightful morning Kayaking with Antonio and another family. Antonio began the session by properly fitting everyone with life preservers, then went on to spend a great deal of time discussing steering and paddling techniques and safety. I cannot stress how thorough and cautious he was. We felt very safe after he explained everything. He provided all paddlers with a spray skirt, essential when the ocean waves splash against your kayak. We paddled for about 3 hours total with a stop at an island to get out, stretch, have a snack if you brought one. Paddling in the ocean takes concentration and an awareness of your surroundings. The reward is priceless, an exhilarating, relaxing experience unlike anything else. I encourage everyone who is able to take advantage of this amazing activity with a true professional guiding you through the experience
