Moose Tour Overview

Choose your time, your style, and let our guides handle the rest.

What To Expect

You’ll head out in the early morning or early evening - the times when moose are most active. Whether you choose a comfortable van tour or a guided canoe trip, you’ll be with a Registered Maine Guide who knows where moose have recently been spotted. Along the way, you might also see loons, deer, hares, eagles, and more.

Our guides bring you to proven moose habitats, not just random roads or trails. Tours last about a half day, giving you time before or after to explore, relax, or grab a meal. You’ll get wildlife insights, help spotting animals, and a real chance to take that perfect moose photo in the wild.

What Clients Say

Don't just take our word for it

We had a wonderful time on the Canoe trip to see the Moose! We saw three! Sam was our guide and he was absolutely awesome! He literally can tell you everything about Moose, Maine, Birds…. Everything. We will definitely come back in the Fall.

- Rebecca

Samuel was an awesome guide! We were able to spend two days with him one of them in a van tour and the other one in a canoe tour. The first day we saw plenty of moose and had a great time and Sam was very engaging and kind and knowledgeable. The brownies were delicious & we had a fabulous time the next day canoeing with him. We canoed pond number two and were able to get up close and personal with a two-year-old bull. It was amazing.

- Bethany

Let me start by saying, if you get the chance to go on a moose excursion, do it! It was amazing! We had the best time. We booked a tour on 5/30/24 at 5:00 pm. There were 3 other people and our guide, Tim. We went out in a van to some remote roads and areas to try to spot moose. A cow and her baby walked across the road.
Our guide was excellent and shared much knowledge during the ride. It was a great experience!
