Here's what others have to say about Young's Guide Service!
EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Young’s Guide Service highly enough. Booking and correspondence with Beth was both friendly and efficient and her recommendations regarding the Greenville area were spot on. The Moose Safari tour was an amazing experience! Chris, as a guide, is the real deal. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and professional and is committed to providing the best experience possible. He is persistent and no one will try harder to ensure you are able to see a moose. Chris is passionate about the moose and demonstrates great respect for these animals. He demonstrates a deep understanding of their behaviors and habits and knows where to look for and find them. We were able to see one bull and three cows, even seeing one of them twice. Chris also patiently answered all of our questions and made this the perfect experience for my husband’s birthday wish to see a moose. I can’t say enough how much fun this was, with the added bonus of gorgeous foliage as well. We will definitely be back again and will be booking with Chris for our next trip!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic moose trip with Chris on Friday! It was very windy, which Chris explained makes moose very skittish. Because of his experience and extensive knowledge of moose behavior, Chris was able to give us great views of nine moose. He’s very enthusiastic and personable , and works hard to give you a great experience, sharing his knowledge about moose, other wildlife and the area. We’re looking forward to coming back in the summer and going on more tours with Chris. We highly recommend him to anyone wants an amazing wildlife experience!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing experience with Chris who explained a lot about moose behavior/patterns and the area. He was very professional and passionate. It was nice to have just our family on the trip making it a more personal experience. He got us up close with multiple moose while working around all the fog which made it hard to see. We probably saw about 7 or 8 moose. 10/10 recommend.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Young’s Guide Service made me remember what it felt like to be a little kid on Christmas— and not just because there are as many trees in the North Woods as there are in North Pole. If you're dreaming of wildlife instead of sugarplums, an excursion with Chris is the gift you didn’t know you always deserved. Seeking adventure in the form of a moose safari, we recently planned a getaway to Greenville. After extensively researching tours, we decided to book with Beth and Chris. Not only did they have a ton of 5 star reviews, their moose photos put Nat Geo to shame. Needless to say, our expectations were high. Before our arrival, we were in constant communication with Beth. She made us feel like VIP’s and went above and beyond to make sure we knew exactly what to expect. Thank you, Beth, for your boundless hospitality. Someone needs to call Santa and let him know you’re the real MVP. After much anticipation, it was finally time for our tour. With the exception of Christmas morning, I can safely say that there have been very few days I’ve jumped out of bed at 4am, but we couldn’t wait to start. Chris graciously picked us up and answered our 638294 questions (spoiler alert: I’m rounding down) about everything from moose to Greenville to lumber. He made us feel like lifelong friends, and his palpable passion for animals, nature, and ME is second to none. There are no guarantees in life except that you will not find a better guide than Chris. Our tour was an unparalleled, unforgettable success. Chris braved the rain and tirelessly searched until we found two wild moose, including a mischievous calf in trouble with mom (my spirit animal). We also saw two deer and two beavers! Tell Bruno Mars I'm completely cool with being locked out of heaven when experiences this cool exist on earth. We will never forget this (and neither will that calf’s mom). TripAdvisor Community: save yourself the research and book with Young’s. Chris is your Main(e) Guy. No bull (only sightings). Chris and Beth, we could not be more grateful for the incredible memories. Our trip was truly so special. Thank you- we are already counting the days until our next visit to Greenville.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris was a fabulous guide! His knowledge of the area and wildlife in general was extensive! I would definitely recommend anyone looking for the elusive moose to engage his services. Even at the crack of Dawn he was both engaging and entertaining. Looking forward to a repeat visit soon!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I had the pleasure of spending a day with Chris & Jolene out on Moosehead Lake. It was evident early on that Chris Young was very rooted in the area and had a deep knowledge of the wildlife and ecosystem around Moosehead Lake. I’ve been with guides, his service is top tier. Everything was well prepared and organized from the get go - having a heater on in the cabin area and even having Benadryl available when my wife commented about allergies. Chris offered the perfect mix of guiding and teaching, allowing us to jump in whenever possible. We were lucky to board his new Weldcraft and catch all three of the fish we were after. Brook Trout are beautiful. Jolene is a great addition to the crew, she pointed out a 5 foot Bald Eagle nest right next to their dock spot on our way out. I appreciated his advocacy of the local wildlife and the recreation of hunting. He has obviously spent a lot of “time in the woods” and eagerly shares his connection with it, one that is admirable. Our experience was amazing in Moosehead Lake, I’ll be utilizing Chris Young’s service again in the future for guided hunts & ice fishing.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and Jolene did a great job giving four of us a boat ride on Moose Lake. We saw a Bald Eagle, a nest and a juvenile. We also saw a Loon, peregrine Falcon and beautiful scenery. The boat is exceptional as well as Chris’s and Jolene’s knowledge of the history of the area. We would use Chris again in a heartbeat!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and son and I went on a Moose Tour with Young’s Guide Service. Cannot say enough good things about our experience. Our guide Chris was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about moose, but also about all things Maine and the Greenville area especially. He was more than happy to share that knowledge with us and answer all of the questions I had. I left the tour so much more knowledgeable about what to look for to find moose when out on my own and also all things Maine and the Greenville area. And he kept my easily bored son engaged and excited about the things we were seeing including moose tracks and beavers that we saw swimming around (very cool!) It was just the three of us and Chris in his comfortable vehicle, so it was very much a personalized experience. He made us feel like VIPs for sure. You can tell he is invested in ensuring his customers get the best experience possible. I have the feeling that he wouldn’t have given up very easily if for some reason he was having difficulty finding a moose for us to see. Obviously the most important part of a moose tour is actually seeing a moose. We saw three moose on our tour, including an enormous bull with a full rack. My wife, son, and I were thrilled to watch this amazing animal in its natural setting. Chris knew exactly where to go based on the weather, the time of year, and so many other factors I knew nothing about in relation to moose behavior prior to this tour. I feel I am so much better equipped to see moose moving forward when on our own. His knowledge was so impressive. In short, I cannot recommend this tour enough! Chris is definitely the guy you want if you want to see a moose, learn more than you could have expected, and just have a great conversation during the tour. You will not regret it!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic Moose safari with Chris. We got to see 5 Moose, white tailed deer and some beavers.

EXCELLENTVerified Amazing’ Moose Trip This was an amazing trip! Chris really understands moose behavior and where to find them. He got us right in the path of the moose and they walked within 10 feet of us. We were able to observe them up close for around 45 minutes. What’s great about going out with Chris is that it is just your party and not a van full of people! We highly recommend you go out on a safari with Chris. It was an amazing experience for us!!Dee & ShawnVerified Worth every penny! Amazing experience! Will definitely do this again! I cannot recommend Young’s Guide Service highly enough.

After driving many miles on the northeastern wooded roads and seeing so many “Watch for moose” signs (and never seeing any!) we decided to improve our odds of a siting by engaging Young’s Guide Service. Chris did not disappoint! Despite the foggy morning we not only saw some moose but got an invaluable lesson on all things wild and roaming free in Maine. Chris is an exceptional guide, friendly and wise beyond his years. Thank you! We will be back!Verified Extraordinary Moose Safari Exceptional preparation yielded extraordinary results! Chris' nearly life long fascination w/ moose coupled with a deep knowledge of the forest ecosystem gained as a conservationist hunter bore fruit on our Moose Safari. We started out at 4:45a to get to the spots where he expected to see moose based on the cool temps and the start of the rut. We saw 2 bulls and 8 cows!!! Chris was able to "call in" a huge, beautiful bull that was "courting" a cow to within a few yards of our vehicle! Chris was both very pleasant and professional and was able to accomplish his goal of providing us a trip for the ages!Verified Great times in Maine! Chris is a fantastic tour guide, whether for viewing moose or fishing! He is well equipped, insightful and charismatic. We were blessed by his skills. Hope to see him again!Verified Amazing experience in the North Maine Woods with Young’s Guide service. I planned our trip to Maine around our tour with Chris of Young’s Guide service and it did not disappoint, We saw eight moose, four deer, raven, snow hare, woodcock and wood ducks. North maine woods were spectacular this morning. Beautiful sunrise and so many moose. We saw Mamas, yearling, and baby Moose. Just an enchanting morning all around. Chris knew exactly where to go.
