This tour is so much more than a few stops or stories for us to check off a list. I will create an experience you'll cherish as we explore Acadia and the many hidden gems just outside of the national park. No rush, no crowded bus. Just your group, riding in comfort, with a guide who never gets bored of sharing this island.

When you let me handle the driving, you are free to really enjoy the scenery. I know all the secret ways to escape the press of crowded areas, while ensuring you don't miss a thing. I thrive on being able to find and share the places and information most meaningful to you. Our tour is fully customizable.

A great tour leaves you full of the magic of this amazing place. Sure, there are stories, tour guide puns, pictures to take, names and dates you might forget... but mainly, the feeling of really experiencing this place in a special way. You will leave, knowing you saw and felt more, with less stress, than anyone choosing to explore without a local expert.

What To Expect

1

Bar Harbor

We will briefly tour Bar Harbor, making sure to see some of the "cottages" left from the Gilded Age summer residents who made such a lasting impact on this island. Much of old Millionaire's Row burned when fire swept the island in 1947, but the fire stopped before destroying the town. Many of today's most picturesque inns and hotels, once served as vacation homes for high society families from further down the coast.

Park Loop Road

Acadia National Park is really just a few minutes' drive from the center of Bar Harbor. Let me show you some of the reasons they once called this area, Eden.

    We had Jackie, as our tour guide, and she was great! We saw so much, and despite the rainy weather, we had such a great day. I highly recommend this tour!

  • Even a cool, rainy and foggy day can make for a great private tour.

    Nathan, is knowledgeable about history, science, earth science, forestry, oceanography, geography, cruise ships, culinary, genealogy, local culture and storytelling! A solid young entrepreneur, who plays the flute! Would recommend you to book a trip with Nathan

  • guide was very kind. I wouldn't suggest this if you are looking for something unique to an Acadia Park experience.

    The Title of the Tour is "The Way Life Should Be". It should be, "Do the same things everyone else does". We simply stopped at popular spots where all the crowds were. I guess I expected that this tour was special. It wasn't.

  • Awesome
