Best e-bike tour we’ve done

The Carriage Roads tour was amazing, worth every penny. Our guide John was great; laid back, knowledgeable, and funny. The views were spectacular. The bikes were great, I weigh 240 and it held me with no issues. Would highly recommend to everyone. It was our favorite part of our trip and without a doubt the best way to see Acadia.

Bar Harbor Premium Tour with Cadillac Mountain and Acadia Park

Lynn_T, Oct 2026

Great experience!

We just did this trip and had an awesome time. Austin was great in accommodating our family and was very knowledgeable of the area and pointed out numerous areas of interest. We were there later in the season and the weather was a little foggy and misty at first which kept us from seeing some of the spectacular views, especially from Cadillac Mt.. However, it did clear up later in the day and we were still able to see some terrific views! We ended with a great meal at a local restaurant which included the infamous lobster roll which was delicious! Would highly recommend this group!

Great day of exploring in Acadia National Park

This tour was a great way to see Acadia national park. Our guide Nathan was very knowledgeable about the area. He took us to the well known areas in the park and also to some areas we would not have discovered on our own. We had lots of opportunities to get out and explore many areas in the park. We did this trip our first day in Bar Harbor. Nathan also gave us suggestions for places we could visit on our own during the rest of our trip. This is a perfect trip for anyone that wants to see the park without having to navigate it on their own.

A must to see Acadia!

Definitely one of the best things we did in Bar Harbor. The e-bikes are super easy to operate and make traveling the park a dream. My wife and I loved every minute of it and we are not super athletic people. Definitely a must for almost anyone. The landscape is amazing. We pedaled over 25 miles and it was great! Would definitely do it again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Peak Experience

The tour is a hassle-free way to get to the peak of Cadillac Mountain, so you can explore it and enjoy the views. It also allows you to see the other highlights of Acadia National Park and to learn more about the Park. Our guide, Pete, was very knowledgable and friendly.

Acadia Full Day Small Group Tour & Hike

Karen_M, Sept 2026

Spectacular day at Acadia

I would categorize the hiking as a moderate exertion level. Uphill, rocky with alot of tree roots to walk through. The reward was great though with spectacular views at the top or beautiful coves. Hannah was a great guide. Very knowledgeable, informative and enthusiastic about the park. We got to see so much more than doing it on our own. Only criticism was in the description of what was included was, “ a selection of beverages.” The only thing available was a jug of water. Other than that, it was a great and memorable day.

Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour in Acadia National Park

Lynette_S, Aug 2026

Great option for travelers with mobility restrictions!

Great option for travelers with mobility restrictions! Due to health issues, we were unable to hike any of the trails. This tour was a really fun way to experience the park and know what was worth getting out of the car for and where exactly to do it. We were able to see the highlights in a very manageable way on our own schedule. We truly enjoyed the narration and learned a lot about the history of the park in the process. Once the tour was downloaded it was very easy to use and, because it shows you exactly where you are in relation to the narration markers, we could be certain that it was working and we weren’t missing anything. 10/10!

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.

Great day learning about Acadia Mational Park, Bar Harbor and surrounding areas.
