When is the Best Time to See Moose?
The Moose are more active in the Spring and Summer for active feeding and make for the best time to see Moose. Take recommendations from our adventure coordinators to choose the BEST time of day; early morning or late afternoon and evening hours based on the time of year you are choosing to visit to join our Maine Moose Watching tours.
What Should I Wear for My Moose Tour and Wildlife Safari?
Wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to be outside and that you may get your feet a little wet while entering and exiting the canoe on the pond. With land tours by van, dress comfortably and wear proper footing to debark the van at different spots.
What Should I Bring With Me on My Moose Tour and Wildlife Safari?
Bring along your camera, binoculars, bug spray, a long sleeve shirt or jacket, (for warmth and to keep the bugs away), a rain jacket or rain-gear, and sandals or shoes you do not mind getting a little wet. We have rain-gear and other essentials available for purchase in our gift shop.
Do I Need to Have Canoeing Experience?
No canoeing experience needed. The paddle is less than one mile and the guide will be there to help you along and provide instruction if needed. We also offer Van Tours for those who would prefer not to paddle a canoe.
