Why go on a Maine Tour?
Blessed with majestic coastlines and rugged natural beauty, Maine is an ideal destination for travellers wishing to relax and to spend some time by the waters. When you are on a Maine tour, make sure to try their world-renowned lobsters. Lobster is bountiful and travellers can have a taste of real fishing villages. With at least 60 lighthouses still standing, visit the coastlines at night and grow familiar with the state’s history. They are reminders of the times when these beacons and the lighthouse keepers saved the lives of sailors at night during storms. The next day, travel to Portland and fall in love with its various artistic escapes. The Portland Museum of Art, the crown jewel of this thriving art scene, features a slew of notable artists like Edward Hopper, Rockwell Kent and Winslow Homer. Meanwhile, a visit at Susan Maasch Fine Art will bring travellers to an impressive assortment of big names like Picasso, Robert Mapplethorpe and Ansel Adams.
Maine is also a place for individuals craving some outdoor adventure. Maine’s vast coastlines, lakes and hiking trails offer many opportunities for kayaking, hiking, camping, and boating. Moose are everywhere in Maine as well. Explore the northern part of the state and possibly see them live in action – perhaps you'll also come across bald eagles, black bears, lynx, and other wildlife.
