The Maine Freighter Trips are a great way to truly experience the Northern Waterways of Maine
Do you want to truly experience the Northern Waterways of Maine? Come travel the pristine waterways where larger boats cannot go and experience the opportunity to see wildlife and spectacular views you cannot see from a vehicle. The Maine Freighter is a 21 ft. extremely stable motorized canoe. With cushioned seating for up to 4 people along with your Registered Maine Guide, Chris, this is definitely the way to comfortably see sights you won’t see any other way.
Freighter style canoes have traversed Moosehead Lake for well over 100 years. Old time local guides paddled these canoes to carry large amounts of gear and clients safely and quietly through the Northern Maine Waterways. Although we cannot go back in time to the simpler life, we can experience and explore the wilderness much as they did by freighter canoe!

Do not hesitate to get your tour booked with him. The north woods of Maine are beautiful, this was an added bonus to seeing several moose!!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I had a Moose expedition with Chris and we loved it. We saw many moose and learned so much about them. Highly recommend!!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Seeing a moose in the wild was on our bucket lists for ages. As it turned out, Chris's bucket for finding these majestic animals resets every day as his pure excitement in being able to share the moment with us was amazing. His knowledge of the area, the habits of the animals, the environment, and his energy about all things nature are a testament to his skill and dedication to educating his customers and creating memories that will last a lifetime and not just once the tour has ended. 10/10 would recommend any of Chris’s tours or activities!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thanks again Chris, this mornings moose trip was amazing and to see five moose what can i say but a huge thankyou. A day we won't forget. Ian and Kate from the UKPosted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing private moose tour! Chris is so knowledgeable and friendly, and his passion for the wildlife really shows. We saw one moose up close and another from a distance—an absolute dream! You might think you could spot a moose on your own, but it’s much harder than it seems. Chris knows all the hidden spots where moose are likely to be and has the proper vehicle to get you there. Why go private instead of with a group? No brainer! With a private tour, Chris can focus on you, take you to the best viewing spots and show you areas you’d likely miss on a group tour. It makes the whole experience relaxed and personal. Thank you, Chris, for an experience we will never forget!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great Experience! Seeing moose in early morning light was a forever memory. A private tour made the experience so much better all around. This is a way of life for Chris and he shared it with us today. Highly recommend Chris Young's Guide Service.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

EXCELLENTVerified Family vacation 2026 Great family trip. We went on a moose tour and saw 8 moose and a black bear. My kids really enjoyed the trip. Also went on a small mouth bass trip. Very beautiful. Chris was very personable. Would highly recommended.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Expert Led Expedition We did a morning tour with Chris in the pristine woods of Maine. The scenery was spectacular. We saw 5 moose, an eagle, rabbits and a kit fox. His expertise and easy going demeanor along with his love and knowledge made for an incredible experience. His wife, Beth was great to help with booking the tour and answering our questions. Looking forward to booking another tour next yearPosted on TripadvisorVerified Best guide around Best guide around, he’s so knowledgeable. Learned something we didn’t learn last year. Will be making this a yearly trip. Saw 3 moose this trip, we were spoiled last year and saw 7 moose and 3 bears.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Saw 5 Moose 🫎 Our moose tour with Chris was great! He is so knowledgeable about moose, we learned so much…. Best part was seeing five moose. One walked right up to our vehicle and stopped about 20 feet away. One male was just getting his 2026 antlers and one female was still shedding. We didn’t even know moose shed. It was so much fun!Posted on TripadvisorVerified Amazing Experience My family had a wonderful adventure with Chris on our evening moose tour. He is a very knowledgeable guide and his passion for the wildlife of Maine clearly shows. The absolute highlight of our night was seeing a mother with twin calves!!! It was a night we will never forget! We highly recommend Young’s Guide Service.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Last moose trip for 2025. We saw 14 moose! This was a phenomenal experience. Way beyond my expectations! The last moose we saw was a bull moose which was what I was hoping to see. Chris is a fantastic guide who knows his way around. He is very professional and lots of great information.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Great Experience! Young’s Guide Service is where you need to go if you want to see some moose. You will be in very capable hands with Chris. Our excursion started pre-dawn. We saw many moose before the sun came up. Chris is very knowledgeable about moose and he knows where to go to see them. His years of experience are on full display. He truly cares about the animals and it shows. I was excited to see the moose and he seemed just as excited. We saw 13 moose on my trip! I even got to hear Chris use his moose calling talents. I had a great time and I highly recommend doing this tour. I plan on doing it again. Next time, I may add the boat trip to Mount Kineo because Chris mentioned the great new boat they bought. One more thing, it’s hard to beat Maine in the fall …. just beautiful.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Absolutely incredible experience! We’d planned this trip months in advance and it was better than we ever imagined it could be. The owner, Chris, is one of the best guides we’ve come upon. He was professional, knowledgeable and extremely capable of finding moose. We met him early in the morning since that’s when the moose are active. We rode in his comfy SUV for hours traversing timber company land. He had his CB active to ensure we didn’t come upon any logging trucks unexpectedly. His ability to both find and spot the moose was incredible! We were passing an area with lots of uprooted stumps. He noticed one of the black piles looked different and sure enough, it was a moose. We saw a mother and her tiny (yet long-legged) calf, twin yearlings who posed for us a long time, plus many others. All told, we saw 11 that day! As the morning progressed, we saw fewer moose, noticing only one in our last 45 minutes. I was appreciative for our early start as late arrivals would be harder pressed to have the same experiences we witnessed.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Bucket List Moose Tour Complete!
