My husband of over 40 years and I considered it an AMAzing treat to be able to fly over the lakes in Rangeley and along the mountain peaks and ridges. Our Pilot narrated our flight by sharing their names, some fun facts and let us know some great points of interest in the area like the panoramic view at the top of Quill Hill along with some great places to eat. Loved to see USA cut into the field in the farm below where we were able to steal a quick pic. A very worthwhile and beautiful activity for anyone. We hope to do it again sometime and maybe fly over our own Maine camp.

First tip...don't make a reservation after having had a couple glasses of wine...why...you might not reserve the right date ; ). Thanks to Keith my error was caught on the morning of the flight I had hoped to book - he was very accommodating and actually made the trip happen! What great flight and meal at Grants Camp. Flying over the Rangely Lakes was a tremendous experience - Keith's eagle eyes spotted moose and he took us in for a closer look. Ending the evening off with the sunset flight back was special - Keith is a great guy, pilot and you will have a great experience with him as your pilot/guide!

Two friends and I traveled to Boston for a long weekend. Before we left home, we booked a day trip to Martha's Vineyard with New England Excursions. We could not have picked a worse day as it was raining and cold. But, we've endured worse weather in other places, so we decided to take the tour. Matt Hebert of New England Excursions picked us at our hotel for the round trip drive from Boston to Woods Hole where we caught the ferry to the Vineyard. Matt provided a knowledgeable and enjoyable commentary for the drive. We were pleased with our experience with New England Excursions.
