5.00Tim gave us a great comprehensive overview of Acadia, pointing out many things that only locals would know about. This included unique beaches, scenic vistas and general overview of the area. We took this tour at the start of our vacation and feel confident we will have a great visit at Acadia based on the information/insights we gained.

5.00If you’re lucky enough to explore Acadia National Park with Dana as your guide, prepare for a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment our group met Dana, it was clear we were in expert hands. Her passion for the park, its history, and natural beauty radiates in every story she shares—from geological insights on Cadillac Mountain to the quiet magic of Jordan Pond trails. Dana doesn’t just know Acadia—she lives it. Her deep knowledge of the park’s ecosystems, trails, and hidden treasures was matched only by her thoughtful connection to the local Bar Harbor community. She wove local culture and conservation efforts into our tour in a way that made us feel not just like visitors, but welcome participants in something much bigger. If you want to see Acadia through the eyes of someone who genuinely loves and protects it, don’t miss the chance to tour with Dana. She's a natural storyteller, a passionate environmentalist, animal lover and an outstanding ambassador for Bar Harbor.
Great Experience
