About this tour

See Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island through a local guide’s wide-angle view on this private three-hour tour from Bar Harbor. The route brings together the island’s celebrated landmarks, coastal scenery, and quiet harbor villages for a fuller sense of this Maine landscape.

Stop at Cadillac Mountain summit, Sand Beach, Thunder Hole, and Otter Point. Then travel past boat docks and the quaint villages of Otter Creek, Seal Harbor, and Northeast Harbor.

Bottled water and snacks are provided, and the tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 7 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Bar Harbor
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 35% in Bar Harbor means it ranks in the top 35% of tours in Bar Harbor by this score.
