Acadia Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Buyer beware. We were charged the full fee even though we didn’t take the tour and called in advance to cancel. When I discovered a problem with our reservation, that a lake tour had been reserved instead of ocean, I immediately called the office. As it was a problem with the reservation service, we shouldn’t have been charged. I’ve asked for the charges to be removed, but the owner refuses to remove it and I am disputing with my credit card company. What was supposed to be a fun and relaxing activity became incredibly stressful due to an unpleasant call with the owner regarding the charges. I truly question the legitimacy of the other reviews.
Updated response to the owner: Please stop stalking me on the internet. This has become a personal vendetta to you and it’s getting scary. I’m sure that I am not alone in being very busy and valuing how I spend my time and money on vacation. Based on your responses it’s clear you have this problem with other customers and I would like to constructively suggest that you consider revising your business practices. As an unsatisfied customer I have every right to share my experience and be dissatisfied with how you’ve handled this situation. Fielding repeated phone calls from you during my vacation was incredibly stressful as is this continued harrassment.

Can’t recommend this enough to anyone looking to try paddle boarding for the first time. Our guide, Chris, provided excellent, clear instruction which made it easy for everyone to enjoy their experience on the water. Can’t imagine a better way to spend an afternoon in Bar Harbor — especially with teens.

A group of us had a lesson bright and early on July 5^th. Despite being a bit hungover, we had a GREAT time. The wet suits were a struggle, but being able to jump into the water was great. Chris was patient with us, and we all got up on the board (some for longer than others). You should definitely give this a shot.

I got a private lesson with a group of 6, some of us were experienced and some were new to paddleboarding. The lake was beautiful and it was a great time. The tour guide, Chris, worked well with both the experienced and newer paddleboarder, and went at a great pace. Highly recommended, especially if new. They also do just straight rentals.
