Idyll in the Wild
Guided adventures in the foothills of Western Maine.
Highlighting all that western Maine has to offer
Welcome To Idyll In The Wild
Join me on an epic adventure, for a day, an overnight, or a whole weekend. Let's get on the water, hike the mountains, and ramble through the woods in my backyard playground.
I have been guiding teens for nearly a decade, and as a registered Maine recreation guide, safety is my first priority; after that... making memories!
As an all-season guide service, I will get you outdoors in all types of weather and conditions: Nordic skiing/snowshoeing on frozen lakes, hiking mountains during foliage or stick season, camping on the shores of some of the most serene and sometimes turbulent lakes, and/or floating rivers that change with each new season.
Whether you are simply 'outside' curious or an outdoor enthusiast, I know for certain you will not soon forget what a magical experience outdoor adventure truly is!
Get Inspired...
Autumn adventures are the best.
~Are you an artist or photographer who would like to go somewhere beautiful to focus on your craft?
~Perhaps you are a mother who wants to get their kids outdoors!!
~Maybe you're older and want someone to plan a get-away, pack, cook and get things set up while you enjoy nature.
Let's plan the right adventure for you!

About
Tammy Long, Registered Maine Guide
As a child of the 70’s and 80’s, I spent a lot of time outdoors and my family’s idea of a ‘vacation’ was to spend ten days somewhere off a logging road in Jackman, Maine and live out of an old army surplus tent. I learned how to cook brook trout over an open fire and avoid being carried off by the moose flies.
Through my twenties I learned to climb mountains, rock and ice, and I fell in love with paddling. In my thirties I taught my children to cross-country ski, paddle the river and icefish and in my late forties I became a registered Maine recreation guide, taking students into the western Maine mountains; hiking, snowshoeing, paddling and camping during my years as a public school teacher.
Now I am embarking on a new chapter, taking my lifetime of outdoor experience and my passion for this place I love, to start my very own guide service… I hope you will join me!
