Maine takes pride in offering unique sightseeing and tour options for visitors. But these are more than tourist attractions — they’re experiences you won’t forget.

On Maine tours, the freedom of Maine’s coast is yours to experience. Maine offers all varieties of boat tours, such as the Portland ferry service to the Islands of Casco Bay and sunset cruises aboard one of Camden’s majestic windjammer sailboats.
