Guide: Tom H.
This was a great experience for our family! Tom was an expert guide and very helpful, as we were novice to outdoor climbing. The setting was beautiful and the company was great at communicating and booking. I would recommend!

Guide: Sam D.
Wonderful time climbing in Acadia--my first outing in over 3 decades! Sam was a great coach with an emphasis on safety. He cheerfully spent time teaching me some knots and gear. We had a great time chatting about the history of the park, too.

Guide: Michael F.
We had an amazing half day climbing with Mike. The 5 year old and 9 year olds in our group were challenged and got to get a lot of climbing in while feeling safe on the rocks right along the water. The kids (and adults!) said it was the highlight of our trip to Acadia.
