Hear what others have to say about Maine Nature Hikes!

We had the best hike with Aislinn this past June. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area and adjusted our hike to meet our needs. She came prepared with water and homemade delicious snacks. We just made the hike so much better!! It was the top highlight of my week in Maine. You could not ask for a better guide.

When my husband and I planned our trip to Acadia we thought using a guide would be a great way to spend part of a day. So I was following Aislinn on Facebook and I reached out.

She was so detailed in responding back so we would get the most out of our hike; asking questions about our skill level and our interests helped in making such a memorable morning.

Aislinn is so knowledgeable of the area and we highly recommend having her take you on your Acadia journey!

“As novice hikers, my girlfriend and I reached out to Aislinn about scheduling a guided hike up Cadillac Mountain in time for the sunrise. The experience could not have been better. Throughout the planning process, Aislinn was thorough in communicating with us about what we wanted from the hike and creating an itinerary that would meet our needs. She offered to transport us to and from the trailhead, and she provided extra equipment for us as well. On the hike itself, Aislinn managed to keep us on pace for the sunrise while giving us plenty of time to catch our breaths and enjoy the views up the mountain. She has a wealth of information about the land, its history, and local plants and animals, and she is personable and generous about sharing her knowledge. Needless to say, the entire hike went exactly as planned, and we were left with an experience we will not forget. Anyone looking to get into hiking in Acadia or the surrounding area or experience nature in a deeper and more satisfying way should book a hike with Aislinn.”

“We loved hiking with Aislinn! She was very knowledgable about Acadia National Park, its history, and knew the best way to get around the park & the hiking routes. It made our day of hiking super easy and we didn’t need to plan anything which was great. We’d definitely recommend her as a hiking guide!”

“We were so excited to finally hike Katahdin and Aislinn was the perfect guide for our first trip up the big mountain. We are Maine locals for years now, but had not made it to Katahdin. Something about it seemed intimidating even for seasoned hikers. Aislinn made the whole process of getting reservations, navigating the Baxter State Park system, and planning the hike a breeze. She provided us with route options and suggestions for which trails would be the best for our specific needs. She was very professional and helpful with preparations and recommendations for bringing the right gear and supplies. The hike itself was a dream. Aislinn set a perfect pace, made suggestions for hand and foot holds on the tougher bouldering sections, and paid close attention to trail safety. She was encouraging on a long and strenuous hike, and provided information about the park and local flora and fauna along the way. My husband and I are regular and seasoned hikers, but having Aislinn guide us added immeasurably to our experience on Katahdin and we will definitely be hiking with her again.” -Courtney and Jeff from Maine

Aislinn would love to hear about your experience on the hike — all that you enjoyed and anything that could be improved. Did you spot any wildlife? How were the snacks? Did you accomplish a goal or learn anything?
