Acadia Mountain Guides Climbing School
Reviews, Ratings, & Trips
We did a four person half-day climb at Otter Cliffs guided by Kenna. Amazing time with an amazing guide who is patient and adapts to your needs as a climber. Great vibes, would go back again.
We have worked with Adam on three separate occasions. He is an excellent instructor. Very professional, and personable. We are looking forward to working with him again next summer. Thanks Adam!
A Must Do Experience in Acadia
Hiking with Acadia Mountain Guides was the highlight of our trip to Acadia. It felt safe, daring and breathtaking all in one experience. We climbed the Otter Cliffs with Kenna who was patient and taught us how to belay and tie knots. My kids have all done an outdoor climbing camp, but my husband and have never climbed. My only regret was not doing the full day.
A truly exceptional experience!
I recently joined Jess and a group of women for the Women’s Rock Climbing retreat, and truly had the most amazing experience. Jess is an exceptional guide, and knew exactly how to support me facing my fear of heights (🫣) while encouraging me to go outside of my comfort zone. And I’m so grateful I did! Plus, being able to say my first outdoor climbing experience was at the sea cliffs is pretty rad.
Ladies Climbing and Yoga Retreat
From stepping out of the car I was so excited to be there! Jess was a phenomenal guide and made us all feel welcome and like a real team. The yoga and mindfulness were such a refreshing change from the day to day, and the climbing was absolutely sick!! I had not climbed for years but felt safe under Jess’ guidance and felt inspired by the incredible ladies cheering me on. Keep me in the loop for the next one 👀
