For the ultimate New England whitewater experience, head to Crab Apple Whitewater's Maine base camp on the Kennebec River. Choose the legendary Kennebec — with Class III–IV rapids including the famous "Magic Falls" — or the adrenaline-pumping Dead River, with continuous Class IV–V whitewater. Expert guides lead every trip, and breakfast is included with all rafting and lodging packages. Base camp amenities include a heated outdoor pool, pub and restaurant, paintball fields, and lodging from bunk rooms to whirlpool suites. Extend your stay and hike to Moxie Falls, one of Maine's most spectacular waterfalls.

Experience the dramatic coastline and spruce-clad islands of Maine aboard a historic Windjammer. The nine vessels of the Maine Windjammer Association are the ideal way to explore the granite islands of Penobscot Bay, the wildlife of this part of the Atlantic – and true Downeast hospitality and cooking! Sail for a few days or a week; take a curated cruise (photography, crafts, lighthouses, painting) or one with absolutely no set-in-stone itinerary. Help the crew with the sails, learn how to cook on a wood stove, or just relax on the deck. Wake to fresh coffee and blueberry pancakes and fall asleep to sea chanteys and starlight. Comfortable cabins, delicious food, great conversations and even an on-shore island lobster bake: It’s an unforgettable adventure.
