Over the years I've been to Portland on work assignments; however, I've never seen much of Maine. For years several close friends here in Chicago have strongly recommended we take a family vacation to your state. Further, they insisted that we connect with Northern Outdoors and try river rafting. This summer was our first vacation to ME and we all enjoyed it! I'm blessed with three bosses (Wife and Two Daughters/ Ages 10 and 13) and struggle to find activities that everyone enjoys. Your river trip tops the list of all time family best activities.
Pete M -Chicago, IL

It is evident that your staff really enjoys their work and take great pride in going that extra mile. We were blown away by how much fun we had, and how professionally and smoothly it was delivered.
Tom F - Biddeford, ME
