Your Master Maine Guide, Alice

I care about my customers and make each trip, tour, or training unique for the customers that is with me each time. I want to share my enthusiam for my home state and local area with anyone with a bit of curiousity about the history, wildlife and fauna, and unique land and shore features. The glaciers helped to create incredible places to hike, bike, paddle, swim, search for sea glass or sand dollars, and explore. Why participate in a big group trip, when you can choose to go on a personalized tour, have personalized and customized Registered Maine Guide training or take a customized workshop?

Why go out on your own or with a guide? Go with a guide and discover the best places in the area, the hidden gems, and soak up the guides local knowledge not only about your trip but the area around so that the rest of your time exploring Maine is delightful. I am a local, raised in Brunswick, and suggest local places that will keep your happiness levels up.

The State of Maine has rigorous testing and licensing requirements for its Maine Guides. I served on the Guides Board of Examiners, and hold a Master Maine Guide license for Sea Kayaking, Recreation, Fishing and Hunting. I am a member of the Maine Association of Sea Kayaking Guides & Instructors, a former President and Secretary. I belong to Maine Island Trail Association, and am a Wilderness First Aider.

I am a naturalist and a former physical education teacher who has worked teaching outdoor sports and activities to thousands. While living in Connecticut and again once I returned to Maine, I was a trainer of trainers for the American Red Cross Health and Safety division. I is a native of Maine who starting boating at the age of 6 months in a dory skiff while my Dad was chasing a small whale in Casco Bay. Since the age of four I have been rowing, swimming, and exploring Maine's coast and inland waterways. I follow Leave No Trace ethics as well as treating the land and water sites we visit with respect. I love exploring Maine with new friends and sharing all that I know.

Testimonials

"I'd like to share a bit of my experience with you. One of my Maine Guide friends got me in contact with his Master Maine Guide friend Alice, who impressed me immensely with her knowledge of wildlife & birding locations in her area & beyond. Her enthusiasm was contagious!"

Lori Davis, renown Maine wildlife photographer

"Dear Alice, Do you remember us? Three years ago, we made a wonderful trip with you on a flat water river (I forgot the name, sorry, but we saw quite a lot of white eagles). We would like to do this again with you and we would be a party of 4. Is there a chance to do this in August 2015?"

Gudrun A. Germany

"Thank you, Thank you so much for helping facilitate our wonderful family experience on beautiful Merrymeeting Bay. No one could have handled all our different levels of competance (or in-competence) and yet instill a wonderful sense of mastery and joy to all the group. Bravo. Well done"

Susan H.
