~Tours, trips and adventures~ 207.730.1926

These are scenic, easy, and convenient self guided river trips by kayak or stand up paddle board on our local rivers. Go on your schedule any time between 9:00 and 2:30.  No minimum number of people and we will not combine you with another group. Please make a reservation as this trip is very popular and often sells out. 

The picture above  shows part of the most popular trip where you will  enjoy the beauty of Maine's largest salt water marsh with its many inhabitants while while you paddle with the current on smooth water. Easy and fun for all skill levels. You might see Great Blue Heron and Snowy Egrets, Bald Eagles, and Harbor Seals. On clear water days you might see striped bass swim under your kayak or paddle board. Although some say they feel far removed from "civilization" you are never far from shore, and less that two miles from the beach or the trip's "put in" or "take out". More than four thousand people have enjoyed this trip over the years and it remains our most popular. It is suitable for almost all ages. Children and teenagers usually love it. All that's needed is an adequate attention span and the desire to have fun. The price is $60 for ages 12 and up and $25 under 12. There is no charge for those under 6.  The price includes equipment and transportation. Keep reading for more details.

You might want to extend your outing after finishing your Fun And Sun River Trip by adding a scenic and easy bike ride. We’ll meet you with a bike and helmet at the end of your paddle trip (helmet optional if under 16 years of age) and take your paddling gear. Ride anywhere at your own pace, but we recommend that you ride on the beautiful Eastern Trail. Ride north on a flat, hard packed, off road trail through the marsh and get an entirely different view of this beautiful place than from your kayak or paddle board. Turn around at the golf course and ride back through the marsh and then through mostly wooded terrain for a great contrasting view. Stay out as long as you like. Return to Fun And Sun by one of several mostly downhill on-road routes for your choice of a total ride of 5 to 20 miles. We’ll review the options with you on your copy of our complimentary bike route map before you leave. The cost is $20 per person in addition to the cost of the River Trip.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?  Paddling time is about one hour and forty five minutes, depending on the speed of the current and how fast you paddle. Allow about two and a half hours from the time you arrive at Fun And Sun Rentals And Tours. You may stay on the river as long as you like. Just be off the river and call us by 430.   

                                                                                                                                            WHAT TO WEAR?  You will probably get slightly wet below your waist if you take a kayak on the River Trip as we use only sit on top kayaks which have drain holes. A hat and sunglasses are always a good idea on the water. 

WHAT TO BRING. Water, sunblock, a dry bag for your phone and keys (ask us for a free loaner if you don't have one).

Outdoor enthusiast, Alaska wilderness guide, experienced yoga instructor and all around nice person, Jacqueline Boudreau of Earth Fire Yoga & Wellness brings yoga to Fun And Sun!

                              ABOUT YOGA ON A STAND UP PADDLE BOARD

Jackie says: “SUP Yoga is an incredible doorway to access both your Yoga practice and the outdoor world. SUP Yoga is a great reminder that you don't have to take your practice so seriously all the time - studio Yoga can be very focused on perfecting postures that fun can become secondary. In doing Yoga on a surface that is fluid, dynamic and constantly moving, the core muscles are fired up along with new sets of muscles that aren't always engaged in such a deep way on solid ground. Feel the sunshine and salt on our skin as you move and breathe harmonizing with the elements and your surroundings. Paddle back to shore recharged, rejuvenated and recalibrated with a new sense of invigoration, awareness and restoration in both mind and body.
