Sea kayak to mysterious Malaga Island where indigenous people summer camped and where there was a colony in the late 1800’s that was evicted by the state of Maine. We’ll meet at 8:15am at a public boat launch, get outfitted for our paddling trip and go over safety rules and basic strokes. We’ll paddle 1.5 miles to Malaga Island. While paddling, be on the lookout for harbor seals, sea gulls, great blue herons, snowy egrets, sea ducks, osprey and possibly bald eagles. After landing we’ll hike the 1.2 mile trails of the island. We’ll have the lunch/snacks that you brought at the southern tip of the island. After finishing our hike, we’ll paddle back and return about 2pm. Kayaks, life jackets, and paddles are provided. You need to bring a very small backpack with your lunch, snacks, extra clothing layers, two 20 – 22 ounce bottles of water and possibly a change of shoes for your hike. If you are unable to walk unaided over tree roots and rocks, do not book this trip. All paddling gear is provided for this beginner friendly tour.

We'll meet at 8:15 AM at a public boat launch, get outfitted for our paddling trip, and go over safety rules and basic strokes. We'll paddle 1.5 miles to Malaga Island, always on the lookout for harbor seals, gulls, great blue herons, snowy egrets, sea ducks, ospreys, and possibly bald eagles. After landing, we'll hike the 1.2-mile-trails of the island, stopping at the southern tip to eat the lunch/snacks each of us brought from home. After finishing our hike, we'll paddle back, returning around 2 PM. You must bring: a very small backpack with your lunch, snacks, extra clothing layers, two twenty- to twenty-two-ounce bottles of water and possibly a change of shoes for hiking. If you are unable to walk unaided over tree roots and rocks, do not book this trip. All paddling gear—kayaks, life jackets, and paddles—is provided for this beginner-friendly tour.

This interactive workshop will focus on understanding all of the things YOU like best about coffee. We will then identify the best beans from regions across the globe and you will get to blend and create your perfect coffee. Participants will give their coffee a name, we will design and print a coffee bag label, professionally bag the coffee and you'll have the perfect coffee to take home. Whatever your taste—deep and bold, light and mild or perhaps even a decaf or half caf—we will help you make the perfect blend.
