Maine Destination Management

“Maine-based DMC specializing in soft adventure and experiential travel. Local expertise, seamless logistics, and meaningful Maine experiences.”

Local Knowledge. Thoughtful Logistics. Unforgettable Experiences.

At Summer Feet, we’ve spent more than two decades designing immersive, human-scale experiences across Maine — not from behind a desk, but from the saddle of a bike, the deck of a ferry, and the back roads locals actually use.

What began as a cycling company rooted in the Maine coast has naturally evolved into a full-service Destination Management Company (DMC) specializing in soft adventure, experiential travel, and deeply local programming.

If you’re looking for a partner who understands Maine beyond the guidebook — we’re that team.

We design, manage, and operate custom itineraries and on-the-ground services for:

  • Travel advisors & tour operators

  • Incentive & small group travel

  • Educational and enrichment travel

  • Corporate retreats & association programs

  • Independent travelers seeking bespoke experiences

Our sweet spot lives at the intersection of active travel, comfort, culture, and connection.

 

Experiential Maine

We don’t just move people through Maine — we help them feel it.

  • Coastal villages & working harbors

  • Lighthouses, islands, and hidden viewpoints

  • Food-forward experiences (lobster rolls, local beer, bakeries, seaside picnics)

  • Storytelling rooted in Maine’s maritime history and communities

This is Maine as locals know it — layered, authentic, and unhurried.

 

Thoughtful Logistics & Operations

Behind every great experience is seamless execution.

We handle:

  • Route design & safety planning

  • Bike fleets, gear, and support vehicles

  • Lodging coordination (boutique inns & small hotels)

  • Luggage transfers

  • Local guides and on-the-ground staffing

  • Permits, timing, and contingency planning

You get a program that runs smoothly and feels effortless to your guests.

Why Partner with Summer Feet

 We’re Local — Truly

Maine isn’t a “destination” to us. It’s home.
We maintain long-standing relationships with:

  • Innkeepers

  • Boat captains

  • Ferry operators

  • Local guides and historians

  • Family-run restaurants and supplier

That local trust shows up in the experience

My wife and I just completed the weeklong gold coast tour. The whole week was fantastic. Bike rides where picturesque.. The 2 hotels and towns we stayed at were great and the food was excellent the whole week.. An amazing week — would recommend to anyone looking for a bicycle vacation.”

“There are no accolades sufficient enough to capture how incredibly pleased we were with our Summer Feet Cycling experience! Each day offered fabulous exposure to the coast of Maine. The trip exceeded our expectations in every way. Deep appreciation for the Summer Feet team and all of the attention to detail they give to planning and offering such an extraordinary trip. We enjoyed the Multi-Sport in Penobscot Bay option which included biking, hiking, kayaking and sailing. Highly recommend it with no hesitations.

“My two daughters and I did the Pedal-the-Coast self-guided 7-day tour in Maine June 2025. It was completely wonderful. Bikes were in excellent condition. The Ride-with-GPS instructions were spot-on, and each day's rides were well-described in the guide. The lodging accommodations were first rate. Needless to say, the Maine cost was gorgeous, and Acadia Park was spectacular. The SummerFeet staff were terrific at all stages of our tour, from the pre-tour preparations to the last day airport drop off. We've been on several self-guided tours before, and this was the best.

Our Summer Feet cycle along the Maine coast was glorious. In early September, we had perfect weather. We cycled along breathtaking views. Then we caught our breath in quaint Maine towns and fishing villages. Each evening our luggage was waiting for us at a charming inn, where we were served breakfast before heading out the next morning. The Summer Feet staff were friendly and efficient. We will hope to plan another Summer Feet trip soon! Pedal The Coast
