Amazing Views of Acadia National Park, Cannot Miss!

5.00One of the absolute best experiences of our trip to Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park. The eBike tour around the Carriage Roads of Acadia was just stunning. We visited during the fall colors and it is one of the most gorgeous things I have ever seen. Our guide, Wilton, was extremely attentive and worked very hard to make sure that our entire group had both a fun & safe ride! We did another tour of Acadia the day before that included the Cadillac Mtn Summit and a lot of the coastal spots, and we were beyond thrilled that exploring the Carriage roads took us through more of the interior of the park to see the forest, lakes, ponds, creeks, bridges, etc. You cannot miss this! And thanks to the eBikes you get to see SO much of it!

5.00Beautiful tour with our knowledgeable guide Wilton! He knew the history of the area but also asked questions of the group in order to extend his knowledge and understanding. We had a geologist with us who explained some of the geological formations we saw on the tour, and Wilton was eager to learn from him as well as from others in the group. He knew the area extremely well and made sure that he kept track of everyone for whom he was responsible. I am a retiree and not a cyclist, and this was only my second e-bike experience, so it can be a little intimidating for me to ride with people who have a great deal more experience. I never once felt like I was holding anyone back (even though I probably was), and I think that was due to Wilton’s skill at managing a group whose abilities and experience vary widely. This was one of my greatest vacation days ever, and I can’t wait to come back and do it again!
Great ride!

5.00Great ride through the park on the carriage roads with Merril. We learned about how Rockefeller painstakingly built the roads and his influence on the park. Beauty and education all in one!
Arcadia at it's BEST!!

5.00The e-bike tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Arcadia. The cannondale pedal assist bikes were in great shape and made it easy to power up hills over 20 miles of carriage roads. Wilton made the experience with his kindness, patience and knowledge of the park absolutely memorable. The fall colors over the carriage roads were magical. We felt as though we were in a tunnel of color. Can not wait to experience Arcadia on an Island Time E-Bike fall tour again!
Wilton made our tour awesome!

5.00Wilton was an incredible guide. We had a blast. I was a little worried about my fitness level with the length of the ride, but it was very easy. I wish I'd had a better understanding that we were stopping for lunch, so that was a happy surprise. We loved the tour so much that we'd do it again. Great value for a fun day exploring the parks! Best way to see them.
Great tour

5.00My friend and I were on a mother daughter trip with our girls. It was fantastic! Wilton, our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and so easy going. Not only was it so incredible to see the island like this, Wilson's stops and history of the roads, island and Acadia was an added bonus! Would highly recommend!
