Scenic Lobstering Cruise

You'll cruise past the oceanfront estate of President Bush, and see the seals and ocean birds of Bumpkin Island. The Captain is ready to fill you in on the intriguing lore of the Kennebunkport coastline.

Whale Watching Excursion
The Gulf of Maine has long been one of the world's most fertile fishing grounds, attracting migrating whales to its rich waters. For an unforgettable marine adventure, come aboard the newest Whale Watch vessel in the New England fleet. You'll see humpbacks, finbacks, minkes, and perhaps the rare blue whale!

Kennebunkport Sightseeing & History Tour
Discover the historic seaside village of Kennebunkport with a 45 minute entertaining sightseeing tour aboard the fanciful In Town Trolley. Continue your excursion with a guided tour of Kennebunkport's historic Nott House, offering a glimpse into life as it was in the late 1800s. 

Fall Foliage Adventure
The colors of fall in New England are like no other!! Begin your crisp autumn day with a trip to Pumpkin Valley Farm for an old-fashioned day of fall fun. Get lost in the five acre Corn Maze filled with winding twists and turns. When you find your way out, pick your own pumpkin!

Romantic Horse Drawn Sleigh Rides
There's nothing more romantic that an old-fashioned horse drawn sleigh ride through the snowy Maine landscape.

Be sure to enjoy the hot chocolate served in the barn as you warm yourself with friendly conversation.

Winter Fun in Maine's Great Outdoors
