Guided Kayaking Trip to Fort Gorges – $79 per person through Portland Paddle

Join us for a unique sea kayaking adventure across Portland Harbor to explore one of Maine’s most intriguing historical landmarks—Fort Gorges!

This professionally guided tour begins with a scenic paddle through Portland Harbor before making the crossing to Fort Gorges, a Civil War-era fort situated on a small island in Casco Bay. Upon landing on the beach, your guide will share the fascinating history and uncertain future of this hidden gem.

You’ll have time to explore the fort, take in the views, and learn about its past before paddling back to East End Beach. The full trip includes approximately two hours of kayaking at a slow to moderate pace, making it ideal for beginners.

Cost: $79 per person – competitively priced based on research conducted by Steven and Robby, and in line with similar guided kayak tours in Maine.

Please note: Fort Gorges is an unrestored historical site. There are no restroom facilities on the island, and some areas are dark and uneven, so caution is advised when exploring.
