We were looking to get out on the water and came across Skyline for kayak rentals. After arriving at the location and making a reservation, we called the number provided since it was our first time kayaking. Danielle responded quickly, and both she and Chris showed up shortly after to help us out. They gave us clear instructions and were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the experience. The views were absolutely stunning, and we had a great time! Highly recommend Skyline. we’ll definitely be back next time we're in Maine!

Me and my wife had a great experience on our kayak tour. It was the end of the season in early October and there was just the 2 of us booked that morning and Chris the owner still took us out and gave us a private tour. He spent over an hour with us, showing us key pointers and ideal sights along the way. We saw a total of 4 bald eagles on our tour; before that I had seen 2 bald eagles in my entire life. At that point he let us spend some time on the river by ourselves to finish out our time. We would recommend this tour to anyone from the novice to experienced.

We booked a private boat ride with Chris as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and pointed out many things that I would've missed otherwise. We were able to see 4 bald eagles and fish were jumping out of the water. A huge sturgeon about 3 or 4 feet long jumped out only feet from us! The river was beautiful, and the ride was so relaxing. I would love to come back when the colors change. We had a great time, thanks Chris!

Wow! Such an amazing day kayaking the Penobscot River. We saw multiple bald eagles including one that dove for a fish right in front of us!! Also there were fish jumping out of the river left and right! Breathtaking views made this the absolute perfect day. Rental was super easy through their website. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars was that my kayak seat was broken and I had to prop myself up with our back pack. Otherwise the entire rental was convenient and very well priced.

We had a very rare afternoon off from work and decided to take an adventure. We signed up for a guided boat tour with Chris and Danielle from skyline adventures. What a beautiful experience and a couple of great people. We spent just a couple of hours with them on a beautiful river tour but added a great friendships. I would highly recommend giving these two a call for a sincere, honest, and great experience.

Had an amazing time booking last minute and getting to double kayak! Bad with names, but the husband and wife were awesome and explained everything for us. They ensured we knew the right technique. Before letting us paddle alone, they watched us to make sure and help give instructions until we build our confidence! I’m glad my first kayaking was through this company! I hope to book again with them next time in Maine
