Kincaid was amazing! He was patient, energetic, and educational. He made me feel comfortable while I was climbing and encouraged me the entire time. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I will also definitely plan on doing this again when I come back!!

The climbing experience was awesome and the highlight of our trip! We had never climbed outdoors before but were able to with our amazing guide, Kincaid. A great guide makes all the difference, and Kincaid was super friendly, informative, and also made us feel safe and comfortable with all of the climbing. He really did an excellent job and we had a great time with great views on the mountain. We would definitely book this tour again, and they’ve got different sites to choose from next time.

Trip: Course 2: Family Climbing Experience - Half Day

Guide: Kincaid M.

Awesome half day of family rock climbing by the ocean. Beautiful scenery, perfect level for beginners, and patient rock climbing guide. First time doing this for my 12 and 8-year-old daughters and they loved it! We’ll be back the next time we’re in Bar Harbor!

Our guide was Daniel who was amazing. Very knowledgeable, calm, patient & a sense of humor. I have a fear of heights and he made me feel very comfortable especially rappleing down the mountain. He was always there when we got stuck to help us find a hold. Just love this company!
