Guided Tours
About Our Guided Tours:
Swan Island
Guided tours of the island for school groups are available upon request, first-come, first-serve. Swan Island is 4 miles long, so to see the whole island a truck tour is necessary. Tours cover human history, natural history of native wildlife, and habitat management for wildlife. Seasonal Conservation Aides conduct the tours. Buses must arrive at the Richmond Landing parking lot by 9:30 a.m. Students will board the ferry to cross the Kennebec River to the Island. Departure time must be pre-arranged. To reserve a guided truck tour, please call the Swan Island Reservation clerk at (207) 547-5322. Truck tour fees for nonprofit groups are: $8 per person.
Maine Wildlife Park
Maine Wildlife Park guided tours are a great way for your group to learn more about native Maine wildlife up close! Due to a very limited number of tour guides, guided tours are available Monday through Friday throughout the open season. Please reserve in advance to book your tour today! Reservations are required; call (207) 657-4977 ext. 0 to make a reservation.
Please make every effort to be on time for all programs and tours! We understand that bus schedules vary, but please build in enough time for slower buses, morning traffic, and finding your way to a new location. Better early than late!!! |
