What are people saying about Bar Harbor

Bar Harbor Premium Tour with Cadillac Mountain and Acadia Park

John_T, Oct 2026

The only way to see Acadia National Park

The trip was advertised at no more than 7 in our group. However, we had 11 so the van was a little cramped. Mark was our guide and he was excellent. This is the only way to experience Acadia National Park. If you are thinking of driving you are making a big mistake. The traffic was horrendous and finding a parking spot near impossible unless you have a guide who knows the ropes. The price may seem a little steep but the best lobster roll I have ever had was included at the end of the tour. All the highlights were hit. Glad I did the park this way

Self-guided E-Bike

Loved the self-guided e-bike! We explored Acadia on our own term for 6 hours. Great e-bikes and no issues at all! They spent about 30 minutes teaching us how to use the bikes and nap if needed. Definitely pay attention to reading the map. you can easily get lost around Acadia's! So many turns. Highly recommend it though. Will be back.

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!

Acadia the Beautiful

It was wonderful to have Rich as our driver/guide. He was very well informed and had many interesting stories. It was great that he did the driving as the park was full. others seeing the sights had to find a parking spot, ours was reserved! Beautiful time of year for a tour of Gods creation.

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.
