Nature Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Great tour. Arcadia Park is gorgeous. Really enjoyed seeing the nature area of Bar Harbor. Tour guide was fantastic.

Great Experience

Published on Oct, 2024

We enjoyed this bus tour because it takes you to all the highlights of Acadia National Park. Our tour director was Rick. He was very knowledgeable had a great sense of humor and very easy to understand. This tour is so much easier than trying to navigate the park by driving yourself.! We had a perfect clear day and the colors of the trees were wonderful!

Hat's off to Jack for a fantastic tour!

This 2.5 hour tour was amazing! The scenery was breath taking! Our stops at Cadillac Mountain and Thunder Hole did not disappoint. We heard the rumble of thunder and the photo ops were spectacular. However, by far the best part of the tour was our narrator Jack! He made our day with his wealth of knowledge, fun presentation of it and all out good spirit. Thank you, Jack- hope to see you again!

2.5 hour bus tour was well worth the trip.

Our guide on the bus tour was excellent. He had a lot of knowledge on Acadia National Park and had a great personality.

Spectacular trip!

This was a wonderful tour. Our Guide, Rib was friendly and very informative. We got to see much of the park without having to drive. Lots of great photos! I would definitely recommend this tour.
