  Husband and I went on the sunset kayak. We've done kayaking before but not in a sea kayak, we had a great time. Went around several of the islands in the harbor and took a quick rest stop on one of them. The scenery was great. The guide was very knowledgeable and very thorough on instructing us how to use the gear, although a little on the gruff side. The big downside to this company's tour that there really needs to be two guides. We had 12 people, and the one guide was responsible for getting everyone's gear, showing us all how to use it, checking the kayaks, transporting and unloading the kayaks, moving the trailer... That meant a big part of the evening was sitting around while he took care of something else. If he had a partner, one could explain while the other unloaded kayaks, etc. It took forever to finally get on the water. Once we did it was great, and it was a nice long tour, but it seems like it could be better performed with two guides.

  Definitely need a sweater because it gets chilly and bug spray because when you get off on an island. They don't warn you about these things. However, the scenery was very nice and we did see porpoises and bald eagles. They were also very accommodating as they did give us a spot very last minute. 4 hours on a kayak for a first timer is a bit much though. Our guide wasn't the friendliest but he did give some information about the neighboring islands and history.

  Definitely recommend for anyone going to Acadia. The bioluminescence was very impressive. Our tour guide helped us with the basics of kayaking, handled the group pretty well and was fun. He was knowledgeable and talked about constellations, lighthouses and Islands. Towards the end we got a bit adventurous too. Overall fun, satisfying and memorable experience.
