Touring Acadia National Park

The trip was a nice bus ride. However, the day we went, the weather did not cooperate so we couldn’t see very far due to the fog. There were three stops on the tour and we appreciated two of them but not the nature center. We also agreed there was not enough time at the stops. It felt rushed.

Acadia National Park Made Easy

Don’t know what to expect in the Acadia National Park? Not sure when to book a slot? Not sure you’ll find a parking space? Concerned about Cadillac Mtn being “too peopley”? Well, have I got a deal for you! Take a guided tour bus. Cadillac Mtn is, indeed, worthwhile. But it’s also very busy with tons of people and difficult parking on a Saturday morning. The bus wheels in, drops you off, you get to view the area, and then the bus deals with the traffic and bicycles on the way out. Simple. Once you’ve got the lay of the land, you can always fight your way back to one of the several stops and do some in-depth exploring. Also, if it’s a hike you want, this isn’t going to be your gig. Still, the bus was new, clean, had large windows, free chilled water, and a knowledgeable guide.

Great tour in a short time

Our guide was great...he had a lot of "toys" to share the history of Acadia with us. We had some laughs, saw amazing scenery & learned a thing or to!
