We went stand-up paddling with Thorfinn Expeditions in Bar Harbor. Our guide was excellent. She knew the her sport really well, and was a great instructor. We went to a beautiful lake called Echo Lake, and toured around the lake.

My two kids, aged 9 and 12, had a wonderful lesson with Hampton. She understands that kids need to play and have fun while learning, and gave them ample opportunity to splash, swim, and fall off their boards while she made sure they learned all the necessary basic skills. I was kayaking nearby during the lesson, and heard peals of... More

I recently used Thorfinn to schedule a work offsite that required: A house Lots of food and drinks Multiple activities in the outdoors to test novice to expert A group of locals for focus groups Transportation and so on.... Thorfinn (Hampton and Thor) answered on all of the above and exceeded my very hard to exceed expectations! Everything was dialed!!... More

As a first time SUPer and sailer, this team gave me the gear, routes, and tools for an amazing outdoor trip. Not only is the team super cool and fun, they're very skilled, knowledgable and talented at what they do. Choosing Thorfinn was the smartest step in having a comfortable, safe, and fun Maine experience! See you next time guys!

Thorfinn provided the perfect intro to Acadia region. They were awesome to hangout with and extremely knowledgeable about sailing, climbing and the area in general. I would certainly recommend using Thorfinn to make the most of your trip, whether you're a beginner or have been playing for years.

Goggle searches, web pricing, options and the potential accessories all needed to be more clearly understood. The list was extensive and confusing right up to the point of visiting the Thorfinn Expeditions store! Chris and Thor... More

I have been playing and recreating in the Acadia region since I was a kid, but I've never had as good a trip as I did recently with Thor and his excellent crew. On our trip they combined rock climbing, sailing and SUP into one of the funnest three day excursions I've ever had. I was already well hooked on... More

Last week I had the chance to spend a morning sailing with Thorfinn Expeditions from Bar Harbor, Maine. While sharing the cockpit with several colleagues from the outdoor industry during our product test and design trip, Thor managed to teach us the basics of sailing. Within an hour we were at the helm, making mistakes of our own and sometimes... More

Recently, Thor introduced me to stand up paddle in the "cool" waters of Acadia National Park. As a beginner, Thor was the perfect instructor for me. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed while he taught me how to paddle around the picturesque setting. It was the most fun I've had in quite a while. He is interesting, engaging and... More
