Take a tour of the gorgeous waters surrounding Cranberry and Islesford islands on a small boat that delivers the mail to the folks who live there. This is one of my favorites summer activities. Less touristy and more personal than the big tours but just as fun.

Conseils aux voyageurs
Que faut-il apporter ?
Waterproof shoes, a warm sweater and jacket, and bug spray.
Even summer in Maine can be cool - especially if you'll be going out on the water. Make sure to bring a warm sweater and jacket and waterproof shoes.
If you're going into wooded areas, check yourselves for ticks afterwards. Especially behind your ears and in your hairline.
