Extremely knowledgeable! Went above and beyond to make sure we were able to see the moose in the area. We're able to see five in one evening looking forward to going back in 2026. read more

Highly recommend. Chris is extremely knowledgeable about moose and the Greenville area. He knows where to go for the highest probability of seeing moose. We saw 8 on our morning trip with Chris. It was a fun morning, we saw lots of wildlife, and we learned a lot about moose and other animals. More expensive than the big group tours, but well worth it. Don't hesitate to book with Young's Guide Service. read more

Young's Guide Service is the best!! When we arrived, we were greeted by a well-maintained parking area and dock. They even have a spotlessly clean porta potty for their guests to use. Owner, Chris helped us with our things onto his immaculate boat. Everything was lovely and comfortable. It's clear that much thought was put into making their guests have a great experience. We were there for a tour of the lake and eagles. Chris showed us many beautiful areas of Moosehead Lake along with peregrine falcon and eagles. We saw an amazing group of loons. Chris shared with us the history of the area and pointed out different kinds of rocks and minerals. He made sure that we were enjoying ourselves and had a great trip. He and his wife, Beth, are exceptional hosts and we would highly recommend them. read more

If you want to see moose, but don't want to travel in a bus with a pack of people - Young Guide Service is the way to go! Our family of five did the sunset tour - we saw 5 moose and one bear on our trip. Chris is very knowledgeable on the local wildlife (moose, whitetail, birds, fish). The best part of the trip was getting out of the car and with a short hike into the woods to a small pond we sat and watched two moose feed and enjoy the water. Chris can site all wildlife with the naked eye (unbelievable really!) - you will need to bring binoculars to see what he sees so quickly. You can't get this experience from a bus. read more

I found them on Trip Advisor and am glad we went with them. First, Beth is very responsive. I had a few questions and concerns and she answered all of them in a timely fashion. We were staying in the Beaver Creek area and on the day of our moose safari Chris met us at the city office and we went from there vs. having to drive into Greenville. His truck is clean and we were all comfortable. Before we got too far we saw a moose on the road. Chris was concerned where she was located on the road on a blind curve so we spent some time trying to get her off the road. Amazing how huge they are. We had terrible weather. It has rained all the night before and was still raining while we did our safari but Chris taught us a lot about the moose. After a while we finally saw another one in the woods. We were able to sit there and watch it for a bit. Again amazing to see them in the wild. Our time was up but as we came back into town Chris knew of an area he had seen two twin young males. Almost on cue there they were. Very cool seeing them interact with each other. Then we went back to our car. Post Chris leaving we drove back to the spot with the twins and they were still there. They had attracted an audience at this point. They stayed there letting us film them until a logging truck came and scared them away. Chris was nice enough to give us a dinner recommendation and tips on other places we could see moose in the area in our rental car safely. It was the best place we ate in the area. The tip on location to see moose was spot on and we actually saw five more on our own. That was above and beyond. Beth told us where to get our fishing licences and we prepared to go fishing with Chris as well. The next day we went fishing with Chris and his father Bob. The boat was clean and in good working order. Chris does the bulk of the work, which is my kind of fishing. He will teach you what he is doing and I am sure if I pushed to do it myself he would have let me. It is a bit more efficient letting him set everything. All of us caught a fish. We were in Lower Wilson Pond which is huge but a pond only because it is located so close to Moosehead Lake. Bob was friendly and as easy to talk to as Chris. Overall a great morning. Again very glad we spent our time with Chris. He is very down to earth and kind. He was easy to talk to and answered all my dumb questions without making me feel like they were dumb. We would use him again if back in the area. The area is beautiful. Thank you Beth, Bob and Chris for making our vacation special. read more

After many times in Maine and never encountering a moose, we decided to hire a guide to help. The Greenville Inn recommended Chris Young. We were not disappointed. Even with the windy conditions, we were able to see 4 moose in the morning hours! Chris is very knowledgeable and an overall great guy. read more

We used Chris for a Moose Safari on 15 Aug and we were not disappointed! We were able to view 8 different moose and were even able to video a moose taking a swim in a small pond. Chris has intimate knowledge of the area and took us to areas that only a handful of people are aware of. read more
