Who we are:

National Park Sea Kayak is dedicated to providing its guests with quality Ecological Sea Kayak Tours on the “Western Side” of Acadia. 2018 will celebrate our 26th season with a perfect safety record. National Park Sea Kayak is owned and operated by an Acadia native. Paddle with Experienced Professional Maine Sea Kayak Guides. Discover why the remote “West Side” is the preferred paddling area to: view wildlife, explore the undeveloped Coast of Maine and experience that “off the beaten path” feeling that many people seek out.

Year after year from late May through early October, National Park Sea Kayak combines a hand-picked staff, top quality Necky Sea Kayaks and equipment, and simply the finest paddling areas in Maine. NPKT is a Mobile Kayak Company; Van Shuttles to the remote areas make all the difference. NPKT is the only outfitter in the area that conducts truly ecological trips every time.

At NPKT your enjoyment and safety are our primary concerns. To insure that this happens, we limit each trip to a maximum of Only Six Tandem Kayaks. This Small Group Concept allows us to give you more personal service and attention. Your Registered Maine Guide will take you close to shore at a relaxed pace which increases the chances of seeing wildlife. Remember, NPKT is the outfitter that does not launch from the front of a motel or in a busy harbor. Check around, ask questions, and see why NPKT is the preferred ecological kayak outfitter on Acadia. Also, view our reviews on Trip Advisor.

Sea Kayak Specialists …Do one thing, do it well. Sea kayaking is our only business. Small group sizes (6 – 12 people) allow us to provide quality tours at a relaxed pace. All tours include a brief stop on a remote Beach Island.
