Overview

This 4-hour elite private tour begins and ends by driving through the historic areas of Bar Harbor. A local guide provides private transportation along the full 27-mile Park Loop Road within Acadia National Park. The tour includes a stop at Cadillac Mountain, the highest peak on the eastern seaboard, where visitors spend about 15 minutes at the summit to view 360-degree sights of Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and nearby islands. The route continues with stops at the Rockefeller family's stone bridges and Carriage House, Otter Cliffs, Thunder Hole, Sieur du Monts Gardens and Nature Center, and Sand Beach with its pink granite coastline. At Thunder Hole, guests can watch the water crash against the rocks. There is also a brief stop to view Otter and Precipice Cliffs, where Peregrine Falcons may be seen. After completing the park loop, the tour travels outside the park to Northeast Harbor, a summer colony known for its yachts, lobster boats, and summer mansions. Visitors take a walk through Asticou Gardens, a well-maintained garden area. The tour also includes views of Somes Sound, a fjord that nearly splits Mount Desert Island in two, with depths over 100 feet in several places. Time at each stop is flexible, and the guide points out trailheads and carriage roads for independent exploration. Included in the tour are private transportation, bottled water, air conditioning, and entrance fees.
