Our Guiding Core Values
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Claudia and Donny
My husband and I experienced a wonderful raft trip guided by Randy down the Green and Colorado Rivers. It was a family trip with varied ages and needs, including an eighty-year-old. Randy was not only a highly effective people person, taking care of varied personal needs and issues, but he was a very experienced River navigator. The water was very high that Spring, but Randy got both rafts past the challenges at the Confluence safely. The whole family treasures the experiences from our rafting trip! He was also a great cook and dynamic storyteller around the campfire at night. I recommend him highly as a guide and naturalist!

We recently had the pleasure of booking a guided hiking trip with Maine Guide Company and we cannot recommend them enough! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The booking process was easy and Randy was incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions.
​
On the day of the trip, Randy was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the outdoors. He provided us with in-depth information about the wildlife and nature in the area. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip, and Randy was always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that we had the best experience possible.
​
Overall, I would highly recommend Maine Guide Company to anyone looking for an unforgettable outdoor adventure in Maine. I was impressed with Randy's knowledge, excellent customer service, and commitment to safety. I can't wait to book another trip with them in the future!
