Far Out Maine started as a dream with two goals:
Give clients the opportunity to customize their Maine adventure, from small touches like a favorite meal on a public trip, to fully customized private trips. We want to personalize your Maine experience!
Give Registered Maine Guides a place to design and run their own trips without needing to take on all of the business overhead themselves. This includes taxes, insurance, payroll, marketing, equipment inventory, and trip logistics -- just to name a few!
We believe in the value of small, personalized adventures that allow guides to express their own creativity. After you take a trip with us, you will be a believer, too!
We are fortunate to have a dedicated group of guides and assistants who are eager to help you have a great time exploring the great outdoors. Some of our guides have designed their own trips, so they can show you their favorite parts of Maine. Others prefer to lead or assist on existing trips as needed.
When you book with us, you aren't just hiring a person; you're hiring a professional system. While many guides operate as solo hobbyists, we provide a structured, fully insured organization dedicated to your safety and enjoyment.
Our guides are professional employees, not independent contractors. They undergo rigorous background checks and carry advanced medical certifications (WFR/EMT), ensuring expert care in remote environments.
We carry specialized commercial auto, general liability, professional education liability, and workers' compensation insurance, providing a layer of protection that solo guides simply can't match.
We bridge the gap between "getting there" and "being there." From custom pickups at the airport to navigating the remote North Maine Woods, we handle the logistics so you can focus on the experience.
