Explore Acadia’s historic Carriage Roads on a self-guided e-bike ride, with a map, lesson, and freedom to set your own pace.

About this tour

Set your own pace on Acadia National Park’s historic Carriage Roads, where wooded trails, stone bridges, and mountain views make every turn an invitation to pause. This self-guided Acadia National Park e-bike tour gives you the freedom to explore without following a group or fixed route.

Meet at Hulls Cove Visitor Center, where your Cannondale Mavaro Class 1 e-bike is ready. After a brief riding lesson, use the included map to plan a route past landmarks such as Jordan Pond and Eagle Lake. Pedal-assist helps on hills and longer stretches, while the map, phone holder, lock, helmet, trunk bag, and bottled water make it easy to ride comfortably and stop for photos along the way. Riders commonly cover 25 to 40 miles in a day, though battery range varies with effort and body weight.

Choose the sights that appeal to you, take your time, and enjoy Acadia on your own terms. Book your Acadia National Park e-bike tour and discover the Carriage Roads at your own pace.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.79 from 513 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 6.9.
