Pricing for hikes & nature walks

How does pricing work?

  • The cost of Maine Nature Hikes trips varies depending on activity, location, and how many people are in your group. Remember: During the hike, you’ll learn about local flora and fauna, history, and geology. These are interpretive hikes, meaning they’re designed to be a fun learning experience.

  • Typically, a half-day hike is 3.5-4 hours, while a full-day hike is 7-8 hours.

  • The exception is Katahdin, the Bigelows, and other large mountains, which may require up to 10 hours to complete. These estimates do not include driving time.

  • We enjoy providing lunch, snacks, and drinks for our hikers/campers, but we understand that some prefer to bring their own food and drink. When making your reservation, we will ask you what you prefer. Food and drinks cost $10-$20 extra per person, depending on the length of the hike.

  • Group hike prices vary and can be found on the group adventure schedule page.

Hiking Trip Prices

Acadia National Park & surrounding area

  • At this time, we can only transport up to four people to the trailhead. If your group is larger than four, you will need to follow your guide with a vehicle. Also, if the hike is in Acadia National Park, you will need to purchase a park pass for that second vehicle.

  • This pricing includes rental backpacks and survival gear (such as a headlamp, waterproof matches, and an emergency blanket).

  • Food and drinks are an extra $10 per person for a half-day hike or $20 per person for a full-day hike.

 

Baxter State Park (not including Katahdin) & other Maine hikes outside the Acadia region

  • At this time, we can only transport upto four people to the trailhead. If your group is larger than four, you will need to follow your guide with a vehicle. If this hike is in Baxter State Park, non-residents will be required to pay a $16 gate pass for their vehicle.

  • This pricing includes rental backpacks and survival gear (such as a headlamp, waterproof matches, and an emergency blanket).

  • Food and drinks are an extra $10 per person for a half-day hike or $20 per person for a full-day hike.

 

Katahdin, Maine’s tallest mountain

  • Katahdin is arguably Maine’s most challenging hike, and it’s a wonderful experience. The climb could take 12-14 hours.

  • Pricing is $385 for a 1:1 private trip, or $255 per person for a group trip of upto four people. This includes parking reservations, transportation into the park, snacks, lunch and a special drink — and of course a full day being guided up and down the mountain!

  • If you want to hike Katahdin, we advise that you make your reservation with us months ahead of time so we have a better chance of reserving a parking spot at the trailhead. Katahdin trailheads fill up quickly from mid-June to September. If you want to hike the mountain in September or October, we may be able to reserve a spot with shorter notice. We can always try!
