Cadillac Mountain
Cadillac Mountain is the highest point of land inside Acadia National Park measuring a quarter of a mile, 1530 ft., at peak elevation. The highest point of land on the eastern seaboard, Cadillac Mountain also marks the spot as the first place to see the sunrise in the contiguous United States. We are able to drive to Cadillac summit which has spectacular views of the tiny village of Bar Harbor, the Porcupine islands, cruise ships out in Frenchman's bay and the Atlantic Ocean for miles in most directions. The summit has a great granite & cement path that takes about 15 or 20 minutes to circle for those who want a little stretch or walk.
Sand Beach
Sand beach is a stop where you can go down to the beach for pictures. One of the best places during the excursion to get right up next to the Atlantic Ocean. I would suggest about 10 or 15 minutes to enjoy this stop, take a short walk and have some pictures.

Woody did a great job showing us the special areas of Acadia National Park and towns on Mount Desert Island. He was knowledgeable on the history of the area and was very pleasant and personable. He was helpful in all respects to those with physical limitations.

We took a 3 hour tour with Woody. We have had a lot of tours all over the place and there isn’t a more passionate and knowledgable tour guide. Willing to accommodate everyone. Had great snacks and some waters for us. He is from the area and his heart is in his work. You won’t regret touring with Woody!

Woody is an awesome guide! We learned a ton about the history and Woody made sure we saw everything. I can't imagine there is a better tour guide out there. Woody gave us great insight and is clearly a well loved and respected local too. He adjusted the tour to suit all of our needs and was very accommodating to us in regards to our comfort, our timeline, and our interests. We ran the MDI marathon the next day and the information Woody provided made the run even better since we then knew the stories about many of the places we were running. Woody and his tour were, as we all agreed, a major highlight of our trip with seven friends to the island.

Our 2 days touring with Woody far exceeded our expectations! His enthusiasm and energy was contagious and his knowledge of all things Arcadia made for a fun and informative adventure. We had one day of dicey weather and Woody happily adjusted our itinerary to make the most of opportunities for brief hikes and stops outdoors when the weather cleared. I’d heartily recommend Woody for a fantastic Arcadia experience!

From the beginning until the end, Woody exceeded every expectation. We had 7 family members ranging in age from 9 through 83. He had so much patience in accommodating the needs of such a diverse age group. Woody is very knowledgeable and you can feel the passion that he has for the area. He made every turn on the tour seem like a postcard come to life. We left with full hearts, tired legs and memories that will last forever! Our experience would not have been the same without Woody. His knowledge, kindness and passion for Acadia made every moment unforgettable. If you are visiting Acadia, do yourself a flavor and ask for Woody. You will not be disappointed!

Woody was friendly, punctual and a great guide to the area. We only had one day in the park and with Woody’s tour we got a great overview. Can’t wait to come back and see more!

Rainy weather didn't affect the quality of the tour. Changed a few things but still got to see a lot and got a lot of great information on the park and town
