Maine Moose Watching Statistics

Our daily Maine Moose watching tours run from May 1st until October 12th.  It's our goal to provide accurate sighting reports to guests when asked, "are you seeing moose?"  "How many moose are you seeing per tour?"  "What other wildlife  might we see on the moose and wildlife safari?"  Here's how we can honestly answer these questions and more.  Our guides provide a daily moose and wildlife report.  We compiled the information the guides reported in order to provide statistics on how many moose and what other wildlife we actually see when taking guests out for a Maine moose watching tour.  This is a peak at what we have discovered for wildlife both from morning and evening tours from the 1st of May to the 1st of September.  The data for September and October has yet to be calculated because we are still in the midst of moose tour season.

Our daily moose watching tours are in the mornings and evenings, centered around moose habitat.  From May to August 10, the evening tours are at 5PM; we then transition to a 4PM tour time until September 10; and have just in the last few days transitioned to our 3PM tour time for afternoon moose tours.  Morning tours are always at 6AM.  The tours are 3.5 to 4 hours, both by land or canoe.  Come enjoy a trip with us and look what awesome Maine wildlife you have the potential to see with us!

Wildlife Is On The Move

We have come to the point in the season where Maine's wildlife becomes more and more active preparing for the upcoming winter. On august 27 we enjoyed the company of three couples, two from Maine and one from Pennsylvania. This was a bluebird day with temps in the mid 80's which made for an excellent night on the pond. Two loons were present on the pond and created a great atmosphere for our evening paddle. Two bulls were spotted late which brought excitement from the group, ending the trip on a very successful note. On our private moose tour that evening our guest were able to spot a mother and calf feeding in the woods. Other wildlife on this tour included Whitetails, Great Blue Heron, and the highly elusive wood ducks. This group was very happy to see the mother and calf feeding in their natural environment. Next we had the pleasure of meeting a father and son from Italy. This was a great experience for us as well as this father and son duo. We love taking people on these trips to see their first moose, that's what it's all about. Although it was a windy day we saw three moose including a mother and calf feeding on the pond. Pictures and memories that will last these guest a lifetime make doing moose safaris all worth while. On august 29th the weather was beautiful and the moose were enjoying it. We explored with two couple from St. Petersburg Florida they were treated to three moose, a fox, and Whitetail. Two of the moose were a mom and baby feeding on the pond, the other was a unique photo opportunity of a bull standing in a brook. Lastly, August 30th we had a diverse bunch from all over including a couple from Maine that had twenty years experience with Maine Department Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. On this trip one nervous bull was spotted by the group and was not feeling very photogenic this evening. The group was still excited to see him even though it was briefly.

Last night, we had seven people join us for a scenic moose watching tour. The rainy day cleared up just in time for the tour. The group was made up of a mother and two kids, two sisters from Florida, and a young couple from Ontario. While on their moose safari, the group saw one moose. They also saw some other great wildlife that inhabit Maine such as deer, loons, foxes, and turkey vultures! They even got to hear the howl of a coyote.

Scenic Moose Tours of Maine

On Monday we had two moose tours go out. The first tour was a morning moose tour for a couple from Texas. It was a very foggy morning, but that's always good for a moose sighting. While on their morning moose safari, the couple saw three moose! They also saw other great wildlife such as loons on the pond, hares, and two hawks. The second tour of the day was an evening moose safari for a group of nine. The group was made up of a family from Pennsylvania, a family from Mass, and a family from Rhode Island. While on their tour, the group saw only moose but saw plenty of other Maine wildlife like deer, loons, hares, and foxes, and even a lynx! With plenty of wildlife and moose to be seen in Maine summer time is the perfect time to take a moose tour!

Best Family Vacations in Maine!

Last night, we had two huge groups go out on moose safaris. It was a little cloudy, but mostly sunny last night. The first group was a two families of three and two couples making a total of ten on the first tour! During their tour, the group didn't see any moose, but they got to see other great wildlife that inhabits Maine such as loons and hares. Although they didn't see moose, they group still had a great time on the pond and getting to know each other. The second group was three families with young children making a total of eleven! The second group only saw one moose during their tour, but also got to see other wildlife like deer, loons, and hares. This trip was extra special for one lady on the tour, she said seeing a moose was on her bucket list, looks like she checked one more thing off her list.

Last night, we had a group of eight go on a canoe moose safari. The weather was sunny with just a little bit of rain. The group got to see two moose while on their tour, along with other great Maine wildlife such as deer, loons, hare, and fox. A nightly canoe tour was the perfect way to spend the 4th of July in Greenville!

Moose Safari - Bulls, Cows and Calfs Oh MY!

Last night was a great night for a moose safari. We had a couple go on an evening moose watching tour with us. Although the night was chilly and windy, moose were in abundance. The couple got to see a total of six moose including a bull, cow, and four yearlings. They also got to experience other beautiful deer and Maine loons.

College Student Getaway to Maine

It was a rather windy day, but with some low clouds the hills were a breathtaking sight in a canoe for this college student getaway to Maine. It was a perfect day for a recent college graduate, Larry to celebrate his newest accomplishment with a scenic moose safari with us. Larry recently graduated from a college out in west Michigan and decided to take a long vacation to beautiful Maine. Larry got to see some great wildlife that Maine has to offer; two deer, two loons, and a hare. Larry was also taken to two beaver dams and was able to get up close to both dams, it was the cherry on top of the safari.
