Let Maine Sport Outfitters Take you to the Islands!

Join Maine Sport as our guides lead an e-bike tour to Vinalhaven Island where we’ll pedal past farms, along fields and through fishing villages.   Tours begin in our Rockland store where Maine Guides will outfit you with your e-bike and bike helmet.  We’ll ride down to the Rockland ferry landing and roll our bikes onto the boat for the crossing to Vinalhaven.  Once we disembark at the ferry landing, we’ll pedal out to to Geary’s Beach where we’ll enjoy a boxed lunch on the beach, loop past the granite quarries for an impromptu history lesson on how Maine’s granite industry built the East Coast’s cities and stop at the overlook, looking east across at Isle au Haut.   If you’re lucky our guides will describe the tragic sinking of the Royal Tar, a circus ship bound for Portland that left elephants and camels swimming for their lives in the Penobscot Bay.  Eventually, we’ll return to Vinalhaven village where we’ll catch the ferry back to Rockland and pedal the few remaining blocks back to our Rockland store.
