Sold out - thanks adventurers!
Join MYA on a fabulous excursion to Monhegan Island for forest & cliffside hiking, yoga outdoors, crazy good sunsets & sunrises, sweet accommodations, yummy food, birding, nighttime explorations and more. This adventure has very limited space, please secure your spot as soon as possible - thank you!
Adventurers will ferry across the ocean from Port Clyde to the island watching sea birds and seals along the way. Let’s hope for sweet calm weather and good visibility on the water! For Friday’s departure, you can decide whether you can make the 10:30am boat but if you can’t make it til the 3pm departure, no worries, we’ll be there to welcome you with open arms!
Upon arrival we’ll check into our accommodations at the historic and quite charming Island Inn that dates from 1816, when it was known as the Pink House. The inn sits atop a bluff looking over Monhegan Harbor, the perfect spot to reveal a dramatic seaside sunset after island explorations.
We’ll drop off our bags inside the hotel and MYA will spread out a yummy vegetarian picnic lunch on the expansive grounds. Afterwards, we’ll hit the trails - Monhegan Island has awesome pathways thru dense woods that lead out to cliffs. Adventurers will take it slow, breathing in the beauty, taking in the natural world in all its complexities and colorations. An exploration of the lighthouse and the views from it on all sides will happen as well as intermittent yoga flows whenever the time seems right.
We’ll follow up our hiking with a bit of free time lounging and taking in the beauty surrounding us. Adventurers can take a stroll thru the picturesque village, perhaps visiting the local brewery, and flipping thru a summertime paperback novel in an adirondack chair before watching the sun sink.
Dinner will be up to adventurers, we can pick from a couple of island restaurants or grab some items from the grocery store and whip something up ourselves. If you like an early bedtime, well, off you go to your sweet room in the hotel. A nighttime hike is also an option or a stroll around town or a simple chill out session on the lawn.
Sunrise is at 4:55am if you’re an early bird and you’d like to check out the rise over the water :) Later in the morning adventurers can enjoy a bird walk as we slowly make our way around the island. We can get in a yoga practice then settle into breakfast. The hotel lovingly prepares the food for us and it is absolutely scrumptious! Adventurers can get in another sightseeing day - let’s get out there and explore.
MYA will whip up a lunch for adventurers and then it’s more fun just like the night before. Perhaps we can change up where we get our dinnertime eats from. Hopefully the night sky will be perfect for stargazing.
Sundayfunday morning will bring birding again if adventurers are up for it and we’ll have to check out of our wonderful inn. Adventurers are welcome to take the 12:30pm or 4:30pm boat back to the mainland :) Remember, our luggage can be held whilst we go gaze at the sea.
Don’t miss out on quality island time, slow down and be in the moment surrounded by ocean supported by the land.
