    View from Acadia National Park overlooking the harbor

    We had one day in Maine and since we didn't have enough time to go whale watching, we decided to book a trolley tour of Acadia National Park. We saw the signs and ticket booth just yards from where our cruise ship docked. We decided to book a 2.5 hour tour that goes into the park with 3 photo stops including Cadillac Mountain. It was $58 each. We literally paid for our tickets and were sitting on the trolley 5 minutes later. The tour is fully narrated and our guide was so knowledgeable! He grew up in the area and seemed to know everything about it . (He also knew many of the regulars driving or walking past us.). There were 3 stops for amazing, breathtakingly beautiful photos. You are warned that it's 15 minutes per stop so the trolley stays on schedule. We went all the way up to Cadillac Mountain and our guide was giving us facts about the park, the area, and its residents the entire time. If you have just 1 or 2 days in Bar Harbour I would definitely recommend taking an Oli's Trolley tour. It was enjoyable, informative, snd convenient.

    Great trip through Acadia NP! I had to call a few times to change our tour because we had to tenter from our cruise ship, and the were so helpful and accommodating. Our driver/tour guide did an incredible job of navigating us to amazing vistas in Acadia while informing us about the area. Our suggestion- a little more time for each stop.

    Very fun way to get an overview of the beautiful but crowded Acadia National Park. The bus driver/ tour guide was a hoot. He had remarks and insights that made the ride fun and informative. Great scenery throughout the trip. Bus was conveniently located in bar Harbor near shops and restaurants. Highly recommended.

    We decided that it would a good idea to take a kind of tour of Acadia as a way to see all the sites with a short timeline. I think we chose well. Our tour was great - we learned a lot about the area and the park. I love history, so we got a great history lesson from Fred W, our awesome tour guide. A couple of things to know: -The one thing I did not like is that the tour left at 3:30 and at roughly 3:10, we received a phone call asking if we were coming still. That was pretty annoying to me. We know what time the thing leaves and we are planning to be there on time. But apparently, they really want you to show up early. -The benches are wood, so just something to know if you have a bad back etc. -Generally speaking you get 15 minutes at each of the three spots that you stop so you ether have to hit the bathroom or gift shop OR go see the thing. You don't have time for both really. -Questions are encouraged! You'll get more out of it if you pay attention and ask questions along the way.

    We did the 2 1/2 hour tour and it was perfect. I have not done the four hour tour but I think it might be too long. Scenery was beautiful. Lots of awesome pictures. Our driver was very informative and knowledgeable about the park. I believe his name was Ken.

    Bar Harbor Whale Watch

    For my birthday, we joined a whale watching tour in the Gulf of Maine.  We honestly weren't sure…read morewhat to expect but were blown away by getting to see 3 different types of whales (Humpback, Minke, Finback), with multiples of each type and also two blue sharks. The people that led our tour were knowledgeable and friendly and I also appreciated they had food and drinks onboard for sale (and single serve dramamine). We had a hot dog, their ocean gin drink, and a blueberry harbor ale and couldn't have had a better time. Make sure to get there early as the most in demand seats on top of the boat were full after they let the people waiting in line early on the boat. I'd say we got there 30 minutes earlier than needed and got some of the best seats but there weren't many left. There is a shop with good coffee close so you can have one person hold your spot in line while others do that. Dress warmer than you think you need: we ended up wearing long sleeve shirts and pants with jackets and beanies and it wasn't a rough or especially cold day at sea and closer to 70 degrees on land. .

    Spent the July 4th weekend in Bar Harbor and we booked this company for the whale watching as well…read moreas for the fireworks on the water. I will start by saying that the staff is absolutely wonderful! Super attentive and polite and was constantly checking on all of the riders. The ride was long but we went to two locations before we finally got a glimpse of one humpback whale- Anthur. The captain did his best to get us as close to the whale as possible without disrupting it and also tried to make sure both sides of the boat got ample time to view. The narrator on the boat had a ton of information to provide which was really cool. It wasn't just about whales, we learned about other sea life and productivity and sustainability as well as about the harbor and Acadia park. It was an experience for sure. I do tend to get a little motion sickness which thankfully I was spared on this trip- but unfortunately it seemed like it was happening all around us where people were just losing it. The staff was quick to react and accommodate those riders with bags, drinks and food. Prepare for the cold because even though it was 80 degrees on land, it was extremely windy and freezing out of the water. They do provide hot chocolate and coffee and snacks on board for purchase, you can also bring food on board as well. We went back out again in the evening for the fireworks- they do a trip out towards the lighthouse and the porcupine islands and again provide lots of information about the islands, sea life, and about the earlier settlers. That part was great- the fireworks (out of their control) was eh. Everyone said Bar Harbor has some of the best fireworks and unfortunately they were super underwhelming. Would I do it again..... probably not, but it was an experience that we enjoyed and have stories to tell.

We chose the premium tour which is between 3 1/2 to 4 hours and has 4 stops vs. the classic tour which is 2 1/2 hours long and has 3 stops. The narration is very good and the tour guide knew his stuff. I just felt that the tour was geared for people with limited mobility. During the stops, we didn't really have enough time to explore.....especially on the last stop (Jordan Pond House). They have a restaurant there with a beautiful outdoor area on the water. It is famous for its popovers. I thought for sure, we would be able to sit down a little and have some, but the tour guide talks about the popovers and then says, we won't have time to try them. My friend and I ordered them anyway and brought them to the bus to eat. So all in all, the tour was good, but if you want a more active visit to the park, you should check other options. If you take this company's tours, the shorter version would be sufficient, and then maybe you could do some exploring on your own.

    Definitely the best way to explore the entire park in a day. It's guided with a local experienced…read morefor several years about the area, the history, and sprinkled with a bit of silly jokes. Sure, you can have your rental car and experience it yourself at your own pace, but why not go around with someone who already knows the way. This tour group goes around in a shuttle bus and gets special bus parking at each stop. Those four or five stops can get crowded! Especially the ones with the restrooms. Prior to each scenic stop, you're given the heads up of what to expect, thrown in with some interesting facts, and tips on what to enjoy. The island is so big, it is just way more convenient this way, to learn and explore one of Maine's biggest attraction. This tour is so well done and people know it; reservations book quickly so plan accordingly!

While searching for a last-minute 4-day weekend birthday trip - the timing seemed to work out to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia. I was here from 30 April - 03 May and loved it. Not everything was open, but enough was open that I was able to explore and see most of what I wanted in Acadia (Cadillac mountain opened ON 30 April so, we were able to drive to the top, park and walk around without a permit/pass before season starts in a few weeks. We hiked Beehive, Jordan Pond, Ocean Path, Homan's Trail and a few other short park and walk items. By far, my favorite was Beehive as it's just scary/steep enough to give you a thrill, gorgeous views. I also loved Homan's trail - easy and short, but beautiful rock work. The ranger also told me that one of the women who originally donated a ton of the land for Acadia and wanted to do so anonymously was last name Homan, so this is honor of her. And what a beautiful trail it is! The visitor's center is small but as always, friendly and helpful rangers who helped me prioritize my must-sees and map out the best use of time/driving to get to everything I wanted to do in two short days. Schooner Point lookout is also an easy/quick stop off before entering one of the park entrances - and a beautiful view of the ocean. Bar Harbor is charming and fun and welcoming and at that time in late April/early May - no waits for anything as season is just beginning. Can't wait to come back!

We've kayaked in Florida and MN a few times but this was the first time in open sea. Our guide was fantastic. She provided instruction and the necessary safety info accurately and got us on our way quickly. We kayaked around one of the porcupine islands. We had to watch for large boats through the main channels. One side of the island provided choppy paddling conditions which was 'fun' and unique. The other side of the island was much calmer and relaxed. Our guide provided interesting tidbits of info about the island as we progressed. I kind of wished we would have had a few designated photo ops areas. I didn't really feel like I could take my time to get my camera out as I needed to keep up or didn't want to miss what she was saying. As a result, no one in our group really took any pics. The kayaks were in good condition. We wore splash suits to minimize getting wet. If you are tall, the kayaks will likely be a bit uncomfortable for you (hard to adjust the foot rests). Nice morning on the water.
