Pemi Valley Moose Tours

Moose and NH’s mountains are synonymous. Travelers see signs that tell of areas where moose are plentiful. The mighty moose fascinates everyone, and with that in mind, the idea of moose tours was started in the White Mountains. Here’s a little information on why Pemi Valley Moose Tours began…and the fun that is in store when taking a moose tour.

“The moose tours started back in 1999,” says a Pemi Valley spokesperson. “I had an idea one day that lots of people wanted to see moose. Visitors were often asking us (the locals) where they could see moose in the area. I figured, why not provide them a fun and safe way to look for moose? So, in 1999, I bought a 21-passenger bus and started the moose tours...and to the amazement of many, it took off!

“We now have a 44-passenger bus and we offer a step-on tour guide that interacts with our guests, providing them with lots of information on moose and the area. The tour runs for a few hours, and we have a nice rest stop at a little store, and yes, there are snacks/gifts and fudge!

“The tour operates after dusk, starting the beginning of May and running through Columbus Day weekend. Remember, there is no promise that we will see moose (they are wild animals, not performers) but over the years we run an average of seeing moose in the wild 95 percent of the time.”

• 3 – 3.5 hour trip includes a tour guide, movie, and lots of surprises!

• View historical points of interest, including Franconia Notch Parkway • Tours depart every evening at dusk. (best time to view moose is from dusk to dawn.) • Moose sightings are not guaranteed, but we guarantee you’ll have fun!
