Penobscot Adventures

"Penobscot Adventures is a well run rafting company. They were safe, organized, had great communication, and our guide Garrett was not only knowledgeable about the river but sensitive to the diverse wants of our boat. We all had a blast. I highly recommend this company without hesitation."

"Epic adventure. The morning was spent on the lower river and was a good starting point as we had never rafted before, it is pretty calm. Nate was our river guide and very nice. We stopped for a delicious lunch- wear long sleeves rafting, the mosquitoes are insane when you stop for lunch. After lunch, Sawyer took us to the upper river. EPIC!! Sawyer is an amazing guide and also hysterical-had us laughing the whole time we weren't paddling! He really knows what he is doing! Four of us got tossed out of the boat on E hole and he got three back in with no problem. I "swam" down the rapid and he picked me up in the calm water. They say if you fall out in a rapid, you feel like you are in the water for an hour but the max is 45 seconds until the rapid ends and they were 100% accurate. Felt like an hour but I have a great story to tell. You just get carried down the river and the rapid ends as quickly as it started. YO SOY FIESTA!!!"

"Today was our first time white water rafting!! Sawyer was our guide and he made our trip awesome!! Epic times!! Great lunch!! I will be going through this company again and again!! LETS GET WILD!!!"

"My family and I recently did the Full Penobscot River rafting trip which consisted of the lower part of the river with smaller rapids, a break for lunch, and the finishes on the upper portion with much more intense rafting. Check-in was quick and easy as was renting wet-suits, which we did. Our guide Sawyer was fantastic; a lot of fun, and extremely personable. The lunch was excellent, far better than what we expected. The mosquitoes were pretty bad at the lunch spot however so I would recommend bringing bug spray with you on the bus/van and spray yourself down when you stop there. The second half of the trip, the upper portion, was fantastic and perfect for adrenaline junkies like us. In fact my family and I had such a great time that as soon as we got back to base camp at the end of our adventure we signed up for the ½ day upper portion for the next day. The Half day trip picks you up at Abol Bridge where they bring you to the lunch spot for a bite to eat and then off to the upper section of the river. Luckily we got Sawyer as a guide again and he did not disappoint as the group we ended up with that day was a bit more adventurous than the day before. The fact of the matter is that no matter what company you use they all take the same river, what separates one company from another are the people, and Penobscot Adventures have some terrific people working for them. On both our trip we felt like part of their collective family. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them for rafting trips in the future. This was the highlight of our Maine vacation by far! A shout out also to Joe and Logan for their efforts as well as Dan and Maureen for running a top notch company."
