Looking for adventurous and affordable summer fun? Find out why whitewater rafting is the best summer activity that provides a unique and memorable experience for families during their visit to Maine.
1. Great way to disconnect for awhile
During your vacation going on a rafting trip allows families to put technology aside for awhile as they whisk down the river. Therefore, making rafting the perfect way for families to reconnect with one another. All while leaving behind the demands of social media and work.
2. A great family bonding experience
Settling into the raft with your friends and family as you’re about to head down the river with excitement makes for a truly unforgettable family experience. Laughter and smiles are common when hitting big waves on the Kennebec River (and they may just be caught on camera)! In order to get down the river your guide needs everyone to work together while paddling. In addition, you may just make a few new friends along the way!
3. An opportunity to make lifelong friends
Whitewater rafting in Maine is a unique experience that allows people from all over to come together and make memories that will last a lifetime. During our riverside lunch is a great opportunity to get to know others on your raft! Or take in all the wisdom our experienced guides have to offer.
4. A learning experience
Our guides are very knowledgeable about both the river, and the surrounding areas. This allows guests to have a raft guide and tour guide all in one! So ask them questions about the river, their rafting experience, or anything about the surrounding Moosehead Lake area. They are happy to help!
5. Experience the outdoors in a different setting
Your morning will start out with a bus ride through the North Maine Woods. Providing ample opportunity to see Maine’s vast wildlife as you pass heavily wooded areas or clearcuts. So, if you don’t happen to spot a moose on your raft trip, consider booking a Moose Tour with us to increase your chances! Maine’s untouched beauty allows guests to feel more connected with nature, all while giving them a sense of peace throughout the day.
6. A great way to cool off in the summer months
What better way to spend a hot summer day than whitewater rafting on the Kennebec River? It’s the perfect summer activity! Let crashing waves cool you off as you’re paddling through the rapids. After that, take a swim on the lower section of the Kennebec. Let the current carry you and your crew down the river carelessly in the hot summer sun. Oh, and don’t forget the sunscreen!
