What the Sunset Tour Feels Like
This is an easy, relaxed paddle built around the lowering sun: a short run through the gentle, twisting stream of Panther Run, then a calm glide beside cottages and canals into Jordan Bay where the group stops to watch the sun set. A Registered Maine Guide keeps the pace conversational—pointing out wildlife, answering questions and sharing local lore—so the outing feels more like a guided nature cruise than a strenuous workout.
