Moose Tours

4 Moose in Autumn

Our moose tours are paddling, biking, walking, and sometimes driving.Our Moose Tours
Hike, Paddle (canoe/kayak), Bike, Snowshoe, Cross Country Ski,
and S.U.V. Sightseeing Tours

Bundle up for a winter moose tour on snowshoes.Outdoor ESCAPES New Hampshire, LLC

Experience prime northern New England moose habitat and learn all about the largest land mammal in North America. On our full-day or longer "moose safari" you will have the opportunity to look for tracks, feeding areas, droppings (scat), beds, fur, antlers, and other signs in the Northern Forest. Your guide will try his/her best to help you spot these solitary animals as they walk and feed in the boreal forest, or swim and feed in wetlands areas. Moose eat 40-60 pounds of browse a day! Sightings are not guaranteed, but you will have spent the day in their territory learning all about them and their neighbors.

Activity and Location depends on the season and local trail/water conditions. The moose population density is greater northern New Hampshire, so most of our tours take place in the Great North Woods region, but we can also provide tours further south considering the distance you're willing to travel to meet your guide. From May to October is a great time to see moose in rivers by canoeing and kayaking. We can also visit their woodlands and wetlands habitats by hiking and mountain biking. A snowshoe or cross country ski trek in the winter will be optimal for seeing moose, or at least signs of them, in their cooler mountain habitats. We can also take you for a drive in our S.U.V. to try to spot moose April through October.

Duration and Price Our full-day and multi-day moose tour packages are offered as focused, custom-guided, interpretive/photo tours available year-round, for all ages and abilities. Example 1: A full-day adventure tour starts at $193 for a party of one, and Example 2: A full-day SUV tour stars at $275 for a party of one, with additional sliding-scale fees depending on the mode of exploration, number of participants, number of days/nights, and any recreation equipment rentals and lodging accommodations needed. Meals are included.

Getting Here: Driving Through Moose Habitat

Moose are found in all regions of New Hampshire, although a higher population is concentrated in the Great North Woods. They are big--an adult moose in New Hampshire weighs about 1,000-1,500 pounds.

Break for Moose

Moose cow with female calf licking salt on road after dark in winter.Over 200 moose are killed on New Hampshire's highways each year. When driving in New Hampshire, actively look for moose all the time--you are in their territory. Moose, usually solitary, can walk ten miles a day through mountains and valleys, crossing or using the roads as pathways along their route. They like the salt on and near the roads. Drive slow, avoid overriding your headlights at night, and use caution around corners. Moose are dark at night and can dart into the road--and stay there--as you approach. So "Brake for moose" (stop!), look for other moose around, and wait for them to move out of your way. If you wish to stop to view moose, pull off the road out of traffic, and stay in your car. Moose are unpredictable. Read more about moose...

Hunting  

Over the last 100 years, New Hampshire's landscape has changed to provide good habitat for the comeback of the moose population. Increasing beaver population has created more wetlands; and areas of former farmlands, forest fires, and clear-cuts are regenerating forests naturally. The population of moose today is estimated Break for Moosearound 7,000. With no natural predators (formerly wolves and mountain lions until the early 1900s), the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department now allows a controlled hunt each fall. 300-400 moose are hunted by residents and visitors each year to help keep NH's moose population in check. Moose meat is lean and tasty. You won't find wild game meat for sale in stores or restaurants--it's not legal because it is not tested or treated for diseases like farm animals. Natives love wild game because we know where our food comes from. Ask Lucie for her favorite game recipes. Read more about hunting...
