My boyfriend and I had an amazing time exploring the tide pools of Kennebunk with Carol on November 1st, 2024. When I began planning our trip to Maine and inquired about a tour for November 1st, Carol told me that it would be dependent on the weather and that normally it would be too cold by then to explore the tide pools. But she offered to let us know as it got closer to November 1st if we would be able to go out. Luckily, the weather was unseasonably warm on November 1st and we were able to go tidepooling with Carol. We're from Indiana and are not at all familiar with tides and how to find the various critters that live in tidepools. Carol knew everything - she knew exactly where to go, what time to go, and she provided a wealth of information on all of the different life forms. My boyfriend and I are both 35 years old, and we had so much fun exploring the tide pools with Carol. We never would've been able to find anything ourselves or even recognize what we were seeing without Carol. She provided interesting information on everything we saw, including different types of seaweed, snails, slugs, crabs, starfish, and more. This was definitely a highlight of our trip and we are so grateful that we had the chance to do this tour with Carol. We highly recommend booking this tour.

I’m glad the weather cooperated so we could venture out on November 1st. It was the LAST excursion of the season! Thanks for your kind words and I’m really happy your experience was such a highlight of your trip.

We spent the afternoon with Carol during our trip to Maine and we all agreed it was the highlight of our trip. My husband and I were with our 7 year old and my mother in law so we had a variety of ages. Carol made sure we were all as safe as possible and ensured we understood how slippery it was and how to make our way without totally eating it. We held crabs, lobsters, starfish, hermit crabs and more! We learned a lot and just had a really fun time together. I also loved how respectful she was of the wildlife, teaching us the proper way to handle the critters so we wouldn't hurt them, and they wouldn't hurt us. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.

I love it when 3 generations participate together. The memories last forever. Thanks for mentioning the proper handling techniques of the critters. We are just visitors to their home and being respectful is a huge priority I always convey on my tours. I hope you return to Maine and we can explore the tidepools again.

Our family (parents plus 9yo and 11yo boys) started our Maine vacation by tidepooling with Carol. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this encounter was!! Carol is extremely knowledgeable and patient, plus she communicated it in a way that our boys were engage and retained all of the details about the creatures present in the Maine tidepools. Since we did this with Carol on our first day in Maine, all of us were able to use the information on future outings during our trip. For example, on a later lobstering trip, the kiddos could name the types of crabs that were found, tell whether they were male or female, and talk about some of the characteristics (e.g., indigenous/invasive to Maine, aggressive/mild-mannered).
On our adventure with Carol, we saw and learned to recognize 3 types of snails,
Limpets, 5 types of crabs (2 native, 2 invasive, 1 marine fiddler), shrimp, gunnel
Fish, 4+ algae/seaweed, sponges, and tunicates.
The trip is dependent on the low tide and sunlight, so that is something to be aware of.
Also, Carol provided excellent water shoes for the tidepooling, which is really helpful since we weren’t sure what to use. However, layers and clothes that can get wet are essential.

This was a highlight of our trip to the coast. Now when I wander amongst the tide pools I’ll know more about what I’m looking at. Carol does a great job with safety, she’s calm with children, and it’s all very educational.

What a fantastic experience we had! Carol is not only knowledgeable about her craft but she’s also a wonderful person who cared for our 7 year old like he was her own. Learning about and seeing all of the Maine sea life turned me into a giddy 7 year old as well! We had such a great time and the memories we made on this excursion will last a lifetime. Thank you so much Carol, it truly was a wonderful experience for all three of us.

What a fun adventure together for my LAST TIDEPOOLING TOUR OF 2023! Thanks for braving the cold temps and lack of sunshine. And yes, adults on my tours are perfectly allowed to be giddy 🥰

Carol was a wonderful tour guide! She took time to explain how to navigate tide pools safely and in an eco friendly way. She is very knowledgeable about the sea creatures and plant life. My daughter (age 7) loves the experience and was super excited to catch and hold crabs and baby lobsters!

I loved seeing your son’s transition from being initially fearful to becoming curious and well engaged. Being out in nature has so many wonderful advantages.

Terrific time exploring tidepools at Kennebunk. Our 9yo was thoroughly engaged the whole time and we all left being able to identify all sorts of seaweed and coastal crawlies, which is fun for everyone. Fully recommend this experience.

The “coastal crawlies” were abundant that day. Hands-on learning is so much fun. I’m happy you all had a good time and learned a thing or two.

We will be in Wells the last week of August and would like to bring our grandson with us on this tour. He love the outdoors as we do and we were hoping this would be a great thing for us to do together. Is he too young? What is the cost. Also, how should we dress for the tour.
