What are people saying about Bar Harbor

Bar Harbor Premium Tour with Cadillac Mountain and Acadia Park

Michael_E, Oct 2026

Superb small tour

Amazing tour of some of the primary destination points within Acadia National Park. Our tour guide Tony was very knowledgeable about the park and history despite being new in the job. Seeing the world from Cadillac mountain was the highlight of a nice tour which also included Jordan Pond and Otter cove among other stops. Our day started off very cloudy and foggy but thankfully the weather cooperated and the sun came out for the tour. You would not want to do this on an overcast day

Just Do It!

Arrive 15 minutes early! Take the map and use it. This was by far the BEST excursion we have ever done in a national park. The carriage roads are beautiful and best part is no cars. We road our bikes to the Jordan Pond Lodge and had lunch. Amazing 10 out of 10!!

Christine_H, Sept 2026

Great time riding the carriage trails!

My daughter and I were scheduled for a full day e-bike rental. We picked up our bikes at 10:00 AM in Bar Harbor. My daughter reviewed her plan with the bike rental staff who gave us a highlighted map of our bike tour. After a couple of minutes of e-bike training we were ready to go. The bike shop is just 1.5 miles from Duck Brook Bridge entrance. We road on many carriage roads including eagle lake, hadlock lake, Jordan Pond and many more. The e-bikes were great! We ended up riding 32 miles with about 33% battery life left. We had a great time! Remember to bring water and snacks. Take plenty of breaks and enjoy the beautiful views! I highly recommend this activity! For reference, my daughter is 32 and I’m 65. If I can do it anyone can!

Excellent tour

I was lucky to be on this tour. As our driver gave wonderful narrative of the sights and park history, we were escorted to very convenient spots to view.

The Way Life Should Be: 4-hr, Private Guided Tour of Acadia NP.

Lindsay_B, Sept 2026

Great day with beautiful views!

We came in on a cruise ship for the day and had never visited Bar Harbor before. We were a group of 6, ranging in age from 7-79. Carli was very clear and timely with her communications and picked us up very close to where we got off the boat. She did a great job of navigating the area - telling us a lot about the history, the community and the nature. We visited a mix of popular tourist stops on Acadia (based on my research before the trip) and added in a few “hidden gems” on the island as well. Carli had waters for everyone and snack bars that we enjoyed about halfway through the tour. Carli was very pleasant and kind. The area is just beautiful and we definitely have plans to return to the area for a longer visit. Carli made our short visit great!

Amy_R, Jun 2026

Super fun E-Bike experience

This was a very fun experience. The four hours just flew by. It was also nice that they had an employee out on the trails as two of us needed a battery swap. Bigger guys run the battery down faster. What’s nice is that you go at your own pace. If you want to stop then you just stop for as long as you want.
