All of our tours begin and end by driving through the historic corridors of Bar Harbour. We can pick you up from where you are staying or we can meet you at the main entrance to Acadia, the Hulls Cove Visitor Centre.
We provide everything that you will need; including all the Acadia National Park Passes, the reservation for the Summit of Cadillac Mountain; iced water and packaged snacks.
We begin by driving the 27 mile Park Loop Road in Acadia National Park. This was a touring road built by David Rockefeller. We will travel to the Summit of Cadillac Mountain and see the stunning unobstructed 360 degree views of Bar Harbour.
We continue on the Loop to Sand Beach. Stand on vistas overlooking stunning Sand Beach and the granite outcropping of Great Head. Afterwards you can choose to walk or drive the 1/2 mile to Thunder Hole along Ocean Trail.
Walk along the famous pink granite coastline of Acadia National Park. See Thunder Hole and Monument Cove. We will continue by walking or driving to Otter Cliffs. Look for the soaring falcons or Bald eagles.
We continue on to the glacially formed Jordan Pond. Get out and walk the nature path or just relax and take pictures of historic Jordan Pond House. See Bubble Rock, the glacial erratic looking as it it will come tumbling down mountain.
We can customise the tour to your interests, whether you want to walk a lot or not at all. We can even have half the party get out and explore while some stay in the van.
We will provide a tour that only a local guide can give. It is not scripted but is very informative about history, geology and the local wildlife. We want you to ask a lot of questions and stop wherever you would like in addition to our suggestions. Our guides have grown up here or have raised their own families here. We know the island very well and can provide tips for how to best enjoy the area while on your own.
