Bar Harbor Premium Tour with Cadillac Mountain and Acadia Park

Jeff_W, May 2026

Floridians hit Bar Harbor and Acadia

This was a great tour- we learned so much about Acadia and the Island we would never have learned on our own. The guide was great — nice mix of humor with the history. Would recommend to all!! And the lunch at the end of the 4 hour tour hit the spot. Thanks so much.

This was a comprehensive...

This was a comprehensive and extensive tour of Bar Harbor and the Acadia National Park. Our tour guide, Ronald, clearly had a complete knowledge of the region’s history and main attractions. He also gave numerous humorous stories. This tour was well worth the 3.5 hours! We would highly recommend!!

Excellent e-Bike Self Guided Tour of Acadia

We had an excellent experience with our self-guided e-Bike tour of Acadia. We met the staff from Island Time Ebike Rentals at the Hulls Cove Vistor's Center. We were given an orientation on the park and use of the bikes. Safety was a priority. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all of our questions. The guide map they provided was great. This was our first time at Acadia and we definitely appreciated having the 'full day' bike rental as it allowed us to see a lot of the park's interior via the carriage roads. The carriage roads are wide and hard packed gravel, with only bikes or pedestrians (and the occasional carriage) allowed. We rode 29.5 miles and had a great time, with frequent stops to take in the scenery. At the end of our ride, staff met us and collected our bikes and helmets. The bikes were 2025 Cannondale ebikes and were in almost new condition. We'd highly recommend this tour and tour operator.

Great Way to See Acadia -- especially if you are time limited

This is a great way to quickly see Acadia park -- if you have limited time. We completely enjoyed ourselves, and know that we want to return. If you have more time, then you may want to find something that has the opportunity to do some hiking and exploring, but with limited time, and some mobility issues, this was perfect for us. The company was even able to modify things so that we still had a great tour despite the government closure.

Jacki is the best!

This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Maine. Jacki was a fantastic tour guide and made our visit to Acadia National Park unforgettable. She was so knowledgeable about the park, the history, wildlife, and gave us so many fantastic recommendations beyond Acadia. If you’re thinking about booking a trip, do it and request Jacki!!

Caleb was awesome. He is friendly and very knowledgeable. We had a snafu with scheduling the incorrect date/time. He was accommodating and scheduled us later in the day after his first tour. We saw everything we wanted to see and got us back to the ship in time. Recommend this tour and especially the guide highly!!

We were able to ride along while Bill, a true lifetime local, narrated everything perfectly! Lunch at Beal’s was the cherry on top.

The best way to see Acadia!

Nathan is an amazing tour guide and knows the ins and outs of this park. We did the tour on our first of 4 days at the park and asked him to show us some hidden gems that we most likely wouldn’t find on our own. He did not disappoint! We had an amazing experience in a very comfortable air conditioned minivan on this steamy 95 degree day! We stopped and walked through multiple sites and were glad to come back to the cool van where Nathan had water available. He also gave us a nice narrated tour through town and while he was driving us around. He will customize the tour based on your preferences, the weather, and what level of hiking your crew can handle. I highly recommend the tour! Thanks Nathan!
