Guide: Michael F., Kincaid M.
Thanks so much to our pro guides for a wonderful and inspiring afternoon of rock climbing in the beautiful Acadia park. Mike and Kincaid, you were absolutely professionals. You cheered us on, helped with your knowledge, and most of all, you created a fun and positive atmosphere. I’m definitely coming back next spring. I cannot wait. Thank you!!! What a day! Jasna

This trip was everything we had helped for. As relative beginners, we needed to be confident in our ability to work different sizes of cliffs and Kincaid took good care of us by making sure we proceeded at the right pace and still challenged ourselves. By the time we got all the way to the bottom of our second cliff right on the ocean we were exhilarated. Highly recommended guide and location. Will definitely come back.

Trip: Course 2: Family Climbing Experience - Half Day
Guide: Kincaid M.
The rock climbing trip with Kincaid was a highlight for our family! Our kids have expressed interest in more adrenaline pumping activities other than hiking in NPs, so this was great! Kincaid took us to a beautiful spot on the water, but super safe for families. Just do yourself a favor and book this trip now to see amazing views of Acadia and have some fun!

Tom was great! This was an anniversary gift for my boyfriend and he had a great time. Myself as well.. Tom was super patient with me being very inexperienced and I felt comfortable the whole time. My boyfriend couldn’t be happier! He hasn’t stopped talking about it all day. 100% recommend :)

What a great birthday! I loved the half day Climb Experience at Acadia. Beautiful place and excellent guide. Mike made sure we had great time and were comfortably challenged!! You could tell he loved teaching others about what he was passionate about. Thanks again Mike! We had a blast!!

I loved my time out with Tom. We did a couple of warm up routes and then Story of O. The whole session was a lot of firsts for me: trad climbing, crack climbing, and multi-pitch climbing. Tom was very professional and gave me really good beta when I needed it, but also let me work through it on my own. I would absolutely recommend to him!
