Private Custom Acadia and Downeast Maine Birding Tour
Design a private birding experience in Acadia National Park and Downeast Maine with Schoodic Institute’s Bird Ecology Program, from a short field trip to a full day or longer itinerary.
About this tour
Explore Acadia National Park and the Downeast Maine coast with local specialists from Schoodic Institute’s Bird Ecology Program. This private format is built around your available time, birding experience, seasonal interests and preferred pace rather than a fixed public departure.
The agreed plan may focus on coastal trails and preserves, land-bird hotspots, migration, winter waterfowl or—when practical and arranged in advance—a seabird boat outing. Possible regional highlights range from Atlantic Puffins and Razorbills offshore to warblers, boreal birds, raptors and shorebirds in the surrounding habitats.
Schoodic Institute offers these custom experiences throughout the year, from a two-hour field trip to a full day or multi-day program. The final duration, route, lodging or dining needs, transport and price are confirmed through BirdWatch.info. All birds are wild and no sighting can be guaranteed.
