The other posters here who gave negative reviews have no idea what it takes to find a moose and the skills as a tour guide knowing what to look for in the sticks as you have to know how old the foot prints are new or old a lot of factors come into play the temperture as the moose get... More

I had never seen a moose until our Moose Safari with Mainely Moose Photo Tours in Millinocket, ME. This was a great addition to our vacation! Their website says to bring bug spray and that is right (for the summer anyway). They also say to bring a sandwich to put in the cooler so you can eat along the way.... More

My wife & two boys (ages 8 & 6) decided to take the Mainly Photos moose tour on July 7, 2010 during the North East heat wave w/ temperatures @ 98+ degrees, which, as Vicki informed us that it may be difficult to spot moose on such a hot & humid day since the moose will most likely stay where...

I wanted to go to Maine and photograph a large bull moose, and with the help of Mainely Photos, that's exactly what I did! I was told in advance that it can be tough to spot moose in the fall, big bulls, even tougher. I needed an experienced local guide who knew what I needed from a photography standpoint, and... More

It rained most of the day but our guide Vicki helped us see 7 Moose. One a big Bull Moose. She also gave us plenty of information on the Moose that the next day I went out alone and saw 10 more Moose. I got to spend 2 hours alone with a Bull and Cow. You can tell that our... More

We saw moose, but we could have driven down logging roads in our rental car and saved a lot of money and not have had to listen to the "Moose Lady".

I would like to respond to Mr. Reiseberator's comments concerning his experience with us. First of all Mr. Reiseberator claims he could have used his own vehicle to drive down logging roads to see moose on his own. He could have done that if he knew where to go to find the moose. He didn't know where to go and... More

We took our tour on July 10, 2009 and it was the hottest day of the year, so far, for them. On our trip up we didn't see any moose but on the way back we saw 7 as it was getting cooler. Our time was limited in the area and we thought the tour was a great way to... More

We took the moose tour on July Saturday July 12, 2008. It was very disappointing. I understand that moose are wild animals and their location/viewings cannot be predicted, but their website got up my hopes and excitement. The success they describe was amazing! However, our tour turned into a mad race against time/darkness in order to see a moose so... More

I would like to respond to Suzieg's review. Suzanne I am truly sorry you did not enjoy your trip with us because that is what we strive for everyday. You mention that the web site was full of hype and recommended people don't believe what is said there. I would just like to respond to that by saying your trip... More

Dan was our driver/tour guide, and since the wooded areas were a little "buggy" he would get out and run to the lake/marsh to see if any moose were there, and then return to the van to tell us if we should get out. We saw 11 moose, 6 of them were cows with babies! I got lots of photos.... More

Anyone who loves wildlife, particularly moose, needs to take the Mainely Photos moose tour in Millinocket, owned by Dale Stevens. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I wanted to see moose, so I signed up for this tour since they guarantee moose sightings. It did not disappoint. We saw 11 moose, plus 2 foxes, a deer, a mink, and 4 snowshoe hares.... More
