Going on a Moose Safari with Chris Young is our favorite memory of our vacation at Moosehead Lake. Chris picked my boyfriend and I up at 5am and drove us to Kodadjo and on back gravel roads until we reached a pond (lake). Everything was so still, mist was rolling off the lake, the sun was rising and there were... More

My first experience with Young's Guides was over Memorial Day weekend. They were highly recommended by the owner of the campground we were staying at. I emailed them, and within an hour I got a reply from Beth Young. She answered all my questions and gave us their availability. We booked for aug 28 at 5am. About a week before... More

Spent a most wonderful morning (8-24-2012) with Chris Young in Greenville Maine and saw no less seven moose, including a Cow feeding at dawn in the dawn mist (see photos). This number of Moose in one day is highly unusual for August (Peak months are May to July), but Chris is truly an expert and a superb guide. He has... More

Chris took us on a canoe tour of a small pond and we got to see the moose in their own setting. He is a very skilled guide and is able to get you up close without harassing or disturbing the wildlife. We saw two moose, two loon, and several deer, all VERY up close. He is very knowledgeable about... More

I recently did a moose safari tour with Chris Young. It was a fantastic experience. This guy really knows the terrain and the animals that live there. We saw many(nine!!) moose, loons, wild turkeys, hawks, frogs. As we were driving to the lake, we slowly pulled up next to a mature cow (female moose) standing on the side of the... More

We booked with Chris for July 4th morning; he took out 6 of us. We saw 9 total moose. The most amazing thing happened during the moose tour. Two other tour guides were there at the same pond. Chris made it clear before even going to the water to be very quiet. When we walked up to the water, we... More

My husband and I are traveling with 2 adult children ages 25 and 28 trying to see the highlights of Maine in only 8 days. Since we only had 1 night at Moosehead Lake and seeing a moose in the wild was our son's #1 request for the trip, I scheduled a moose safari with Chris. It was something I'm... More

Chris Young was awesome. Yes, I was a little nervous hiring a complete stranger to take me far out into the woods, in the middle of nowhere, in a canoe on an isolated pond, but based on the reviews on here, as well as the backing of the hotel owners, I went ahead and took a chance. Glad I did.... More

We had the most amazing adventure seeing moose on a trip with Chris Young. He was prompt, knowledgeable, prepared and sincere in his love of the outdoors. The best nature guide we've had. We would definitely use his services again and would recommend him to anyone wanting to go on a tour in the area.

We visited Moosehead Lake/Greenville to see moose. Used three guide companies and services. All were good and you cant go wrong with any of three guide companies in Greenville. The best guide is Chris Young. He offers private Moose watching trips-both early morniong and sunset. Chris is very dedicated to making our trip a happy event and he also is... More
