Prices for Hikes & Nature Walks

How does pricing work?

The cost of Maine Nature Hikes trips varies depending on activity, location, and how many people are in your group. Remember: During the hike, you’ll learn about local flora and fauna, history, and geology. These are interpretive hikes, meaning they’re designed to be a fun learning experience.

Extras!

We enjoy providing lunch, snacks, and drinks for our hikers, but we understand that some prefer to bring their own food and drink. When making your reservation, we ask you what you prefer. Food and drinks cost $15-$25 extra per person, depending on the length of the hike.

Free extras!

We want you to be as safe and comfortable as possible, and we understand that not every traveler is able to bring a backpack, lunchbox or hiking poles — that’s why we provide those for free! Just be sure to give them back at the end of the hike!

Hiking Trip Prices

Acadia National Park & surrounding area

For groups of 1-4 people, the price remains the same:

$350 for half day (4 hours)
$600 for full day (7-8 hours)

*This is for the whole group, not per person

For groups of 5-6 people (my maximum), the price is:

$400 for half day (4 hours)

$700 for full day (7-8 hours)

*You will need to drive a second vehicle to the trailhead. I can only transport 4 people at this time!

*Food and drinks are an extra $15 per person for a half-day hike or $25 per person for a full-day hike.

*This pricing includes rental backpacks, hiking poles and minimal survival gear (such as a headlamp, waterproof matches, and an emergency blanket).

If you are booking as guests of The Claremont Hotel or The Asticou Hotel, the cost for private tours and nature walks vary. Call Claremont Reservations and Guest Services at 207-244-5036 for details. Those tours include hotel-provided snacks and lunches, comfortable transportation and convenient pick up and drop off.

Full day hikes throughout Maine (including Baxter State Park)

Many of these hikes (such as Katahdin) will take up to 10 hours — whatever it takes, we’ll get it done! No extra cost for taking our time.

1:1 client-guide ratio: $700 for full day

*This pricing includes rental backpacks, hiking poles and minimal survival gear (such as a headlamp, waterproof matches, and an emergency blanket).

*Food and drinks are an extra $30 per person for a full-day hike. You can opt to bring your own snacks, lunch and water.

Katahdin, Maine’s tallest mountain

Katahdin is arguably Maine’s most challenging hike, and it’s a wonderful experience. The climb could take 12-14 hours.

Pricing is the same as above. This includes parking reservations, transportation into the park, snacks, lunch and a special drink — and of course a full day being guided up and down the mountain! (You can opt to bring your own food.)

If you want to hike Katahdin, we advise that you make your reservation with us months ahead of time so we have a better chance of reserving a parking spot at the trailhead. Katahdin trailheads fill up quickly from mid-June to September. If you want to hike the mountain in September or October, we may be able to reserve a spot with shorter notice. We can always try!
