Sip & Summit: Shackford Head Adventure

  • Sip & Summit: Shackford Head Adventure
From 125
Trek through lush forests, discover hidden coves, and soak up breathtaking coastal views before kicking back with a well-earned brew by the harbor.
Hit the trails and take in Eastport from new heights. This scenic hike through Shackford Head State Park winds past hidden coves and forested paths before reaching a 173-foot summit with sweeping views of Campobello Island in New Brunswick (Canada), Lubec (Maine), and the working harbor. Keep an eye out for bald eagles, warblers, and maybe even a sandpiper along the shore. After the trek, kick back at Horn Run Brewing with a local beer or cider — because every great hike deserves a great toast.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price. 

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.


Shore Things departure times and/or meeting locations are subject to change. We will make every effort to notify Sailors in advance via the Sailor App of any tour departure and/or meeting changes.
