Portland Sunset Stand-Up Paddleboarding Adventure

The hour just before sunset is the best time for stand-up paddling on the waters of Casco Bay. The sky tends to explode with color and the seas often become glassy and calm. This trip involves a leisurely paddle just far enough along the waterfront or into the islands to enjoy a panoramic view of the sun setting over the city as we paddle back to the East End Beach. This two-hour tour is designed for people of all experience levels — including those new to stand-up paddling.
